Mersen MPDB62160 Adder Copper Distribution Block 85A

Product Description

The MERSEN MPDB62160 is an open-style adder copper power distribution block rated for 85 amps and up to 1,000 volts AC/DC. It features tin-plated copper conductors housed in a glass-filled polycarbonate body, making it suitable for panel wiring applications where primary power must be split into secondary circuits. The block uses a box-to-box connection method and accepts one conductor on the primary side and up to four conductors on the secondary side, with a conductor range of No. 4 AWG on both ends. Licensed electricians install this component in switchboards, panelboards, and enclosed control panels as a compact, code-compliant junction point.

The MPDB62160 is designed for use in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems where cable splicing, circuit splitting, and fixed junction tap-off points are required. Its adder-style configuration allows it to be ganged with compatible distribution block assemblies to expand circuit capacity within the same enclosure. The open-style design gives clear access to termination points during installation and inspection. It is well suited for use in motor control centers, industrial panels, and commercial power distribution enclosures.

Key Features

• Glass-filled polycarbonate housing rated to 80 degrees C maximum operating temperature
• Box-to-box connection with 1 primary and 4 secondary conductor openings, No. 4 AWG conductor range
• Adder-style design allows ganging with other distribution block units to expand circuit count
• UL Listed (File E352417), CSA Certified (Class 6228 01), and RoHS Compliant

Compatibility

Designed as an open-style adder power distribution block for use in switchboards, panelboards, motor control centers, and enclosed industrial control panels requiring UL 1953 compliant distribution points.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before making any terminations. Screw-type mounting requires secure fastening to the enclosure to prevent movement under load. Do not exceed the rated conductor range or current capacity of the block.
