Square D 9080LBA263101 power distribution block manages and distributes electrical power to power distribution units and other electrical enclosures. This electrical distribution block has a main input terminal where the primary power source is connected. There are metal conductors inside the distribution block that carry the incoming electrical current from the input terminal. It is used in electrical panels, control cabinets, switchboards and distribution boards.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How do I select the right electrical distribution block for my application?
A. When selecting a distribution block, consider factors such as the total current capacity needed, the number of output terminals required, the voltage level of your system and any specific environmental or safety requirements.
Q. What safety features should I look for in a distribution block?
A. Look for distribution blocks with insulation barriers between input and output terminals to prevent accidental contact. Clear markings indicating current and voltage ratings for each terminal are important to ensure proper use and prevent overloading.
Q. What is the difference between a power distribution block and a terminal block?
A. A power distribution block is specifically designed to handle higher current levels and efficiently distribute power to multiple circuits. Terminal blocks, on the other hand, are used to connect and secure wires, often at a lower current rating.
