360a Secondary Distribution Box

The 360A Secondary Distribution Box, such as the Mersen MPDB67523, safely splits primary power into multiple secondary circuits for branch distribution.

Overview

A 360A Secondary Distribution Box (SDB) is designed to receive high-current power from a main distribution source and distribute it safely to multiple secondary circuits. It is commonly used in industrial and commercial electrical systems to manage power flow efficiently and provide a central junction for branch circuits .

Mersen MPDB67523 Features

The Mersen MPDB67523 is a 360A-rated power distribution block that exemplifies a secondary distribution solution:

• Current Rating: 360 amperes, suitable for high-power applications .
• Poles: 3-pole configuration, allowing multiple primary connections .
• Material: Tin-plated aluminum, providing corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity .
• Certifications: UL and CSA approved, meeting UL508A and National Electrical Code® spacing requirements for feeder and branch circuits .
• Flexibility: Optional adder poles allow customization of primary and secondary wire combinations, supporting up to 30 secondary outputs .
• Operating Temperature: Maximum 80°C, suitable for standard industrial environments .

Functionality

The SDB functions as a junction point where primary power is split into secondary circuits. It can be fitted with terminal blocks for custom wiring, enabling connection to floor modules or other branch circuits via snap-on extender cables . This setup ensures organized, safe, and efficient power distribution while reducing the need for multiple individual connections.

Applications

• Industrial machinery and automation systems
• Commercial electrical panels
• Modular power distribution setups
• Any system requiring centralized secondary power distribution from a high-current source

Summary

The 360A Secondary Distribution Box, particularly the Mersen MPDB67523, provides a safe, flexible, and certified solution for splitting high-current primary power into multiple secondary circuits. Its robust construction, optional customization, and compliance with electrical standards make it ideal for industrial and commercial power distribution applications .
