Power Distribution Connectors

Power distribution connectors (PDCs) can be used for multiple load wire connections on one circuit breaker in place of standard distribution block to save space and time. The connectors are attached to circuit breaker terminals equipped with separately provided terminal nut connectors. [29] Applications: • For use on load end of circuit breaker only • For use in UL 508 Industrial Control applications • For use in UL 1995/CSA C22.2 No. 236 heating and cooling equipment • For copper wire only Table 7.109: Power Distribution Connectors for B-Frame, H-Frame, J-Frame and L Frame Circuit Breakers [30] Usewith Circuit Breaker Type Ampere Rating (Wires Per Terminal) WireRange Dimension A (in.)
