Cooper Bussmann 16204-2 Power Distribution Block 175A 2P

Product Description

The COOPER BUSSMANN 16204-2 is a 2-pole thermoplastic power distribution block rated for 175 amps and 600 VAC/VDC. It provides a single primary connection point and one secondary connection, supporting wire ranges of 2/0 to 8 AWG for both copper and aluminum conductors on the primary and secondary sides. The thermoplastic housing offers solid insulation performance in panel and enclosure applications. Licensed electricians install this block in load centers, junction boxes, and distribution panels where a centralized, code-compliant connection point is required for branch circuit wiring.

This distribution block is suited for residential and light commercial electrical panels, industrial control enclosures, and power distribution assemblies. It handles both copper and aluminum wiring, making it flexible for retrofit and new-construction work where mixed conductor types may be present. The 600-volt rating covers standard single-phase and three-phase distribution scenarios found in typical commercial and industrial installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 600V-rated power distribution panels and enclosures accepting 2-pole thermoplastic distribution blocks with 175-amp capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the panel or enclosure before handling or connecting any conductors. Ensure conductor torque is applied per the enclosure or panel manufacturer specifications and applicable NEC requirements. Verify that conductor material, copper or aluminum, matches the termination preparation used at each connection point.
