Ferraz Shawmut MPDB66053 Power Distribution Block 175A

Product Description

The FERRAZ SHAWMUT MPDB66053 is an open-style power distribution block rated for 175 amps at 1000 volts, built for use in electrical panel and junction box applications. Constructed with tin-plated copper, it delivers reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance in demanding installations. The 3-pole configuration accepts wire range from 2/0 to No. 14 AWG on both line and load sides, making it well suited for branch circuit distribution in commercial and industrial electrical systems. Licensed electricians and panel builders are the primary installers of this component.

This power distribution block is designed for open-style mounting inside enclosures, switchgear, and electrical distribution panels. The box-to-box wiring configuration supports a single line-side opening and a single load-side opening per pole, streamlining wire management in tight panel layouts. It is commonly specified in commercial construction, industrial controls, and panel fabrication where a UL-listed distribution block with a wide wire acceptance range is required.

Key Features

• 175A continuous current rating supports heavy branch circuit loads
• 1000V rating suitable for a wide range of AC and DC distribution applications
• 3-pole open-style design for installation inside enclosures or switchgear
• Tin-plated copper construction provides low contact resistance and corrosion resistance
• Wide wire acceptance range: 2/0 to No. 14 AWG on both line and load sides
• UL 1953 listed for use in power distribution block applications

Compatibility

Designed as a UL 1953 listed open-style replacement or new-install power distribution block for commercial and industrial electrical enclosures requiring a 3-pole, 175A, 1000V block with 2/0 to No. 14 AWG wire range.

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 installing or servicing this distribution block. Verify that conductor sizes and torque specifications comply with the terminal markings and NEC Table requirements for the wire gauge used. The open-style design requires mounting inside a suitable UL-listed enclosure to meet code requirements for live-part guarding.
