62000-69000 SERIES POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS
VERSATILE POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS
FOR CABLE TERMINATIONS
Ferraz Shawmut Power Distribution Blocks afford a safe, convenient
way of splicing cables, splitting primary power into a variety of
secondary circuits or providing a fixed junction tap-off point. Power
block options include single or dual primary connections with up to
30 secondary connections.
Features/Benefits
Adder Poles
➤
All series have optional adder poles which snap onto the 1, 2 or 3- pole blocks
and lock together to form as many poles as required. Adder poles with a variety of
terminations can be combined to match special wire size combinations.
Wire Connectors
➤
Standard aluminum box connectors accommodate aluminum or copper wire, 1
conductor per opening. Standard copper box connections are for copper wire only,
1 conductor per opening. Connectors are all 1 piece and tin plated.
Insulators
➤
Insulators are virtually unbreakable, glass-filled polycarbonate on all series.
“See-Through” Safety Covers are available which give greater safety and provide
Service Entrance ratings for large and intermediate series blocks.

SAFETY COVER - Catalog number 08590
Polycarbonate safety cover provides dead-front protection to 68000 and
69000 series power distribution blocks. One cover is needed for each pole
(1-pole block requires 1 cover, 3-pole requires 3 covers, etc.) Each cover
has a test prod hole in the center for circuit checking and each is marked
with the reminder “REPLACE AFTER SERVICING EQUIPMENT”. Mounting
screws are supplied with cover.
To order, simply determine the total number of poles to be protected and
specify the same number of 08590 safety covers.
Recommended mounting screws for all 68000-69000 series: 1/4” (.250 dia.).
For double wide blocks use 08592W safety cover.
END BARRIER - Catalog number U09911
Polycarbonate end barriers snap on to PDB Adder blocks to form 1-pole
blocks. Use one barrier per block.
