Ferraz Shawmut MPDB66051 Power Distribution Block 175A

Product Description

The FERRAZ SHAWMUT MPDB66051 is a 1-pole, open-style power distribution block rated for 175 amps and 1000 volts. It features tin-plated copper construction, which provides low-resistance connections and strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation over time. This block is part of the MPDB Series and carries a UL 1953 listing, confirming it meets the standard for power distribution blocks used in industrial and commercial electrical panels. Licensed electricians and panel builders install this component to distribute a single-source feed to multiple branch circuits within an enclosure or wireway.

This distribution block is suited for use in commercial and industrial electrical assemblies where high-ampacity branch distribution is required inside a panelboard, junction box, or switchgear enclosure. The box-to-box wiring configuration allows input and output conductors to be landed directly from conduit boxes or wire management channels, supporting clean and code-compliant installations. Its open-style design provides direct access to all termination points during wiring and inspection.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for industrial and commercial power distribution assemblies requiring a UL 1953 listed, 1-pole distribution block rated at 175 amps and 1000 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the panel or enclosure completely before installing or servicing this distribution block. Verify that conductor sizing, torque specifications, and enclosure ratings comply with the NEC and the enclosure manufacturer requirements before energizing. Do not exceed the published ampacity or voltage ratings for any connected conductor.
