Selection Table for SCCR Power Distribution Blocks and
Terminal Blocks
Short-Circuit Current Rated Power Distribution
Blocks
Cooper Bussmann offers three distinctly different styles of
short-circuit current rated power distribution blocks (PDBs)
and terminal blocks (TBs) to match different application
needs. The differences are whether the power
distribution blocks are enclosed or not, and whether they are
UL1953 Listed PDBs or UL1059 Recognized TBs, which have
different minimum spacing requirements. The table on this
page can assist in the selection of the right series for your
application requirements.
Why these are important?
Assembly short-circuit current ratings (SCCRs) are now
required in the 2005 NEC
®
and UL508A Listed Industrial
Control Panels. Marking the SCCR on Industrial Control
Panels (NEC
®
409.110), Industrial Machinery Electrical
Panels (NEC
®
670.3(A)), and HVAC equipment (NEC
®
440.4(B)) is now required by the National Electrical Code.
PDBs or TBs not marked with a SCCR are typically one of
the weakest links and may limit an assembly to no more than
10kA SCCR. The PDBFS and PDB Series have increased
spacing required where used in feeder circuits in equipment
listed to UL508A (UL1059 TBs must be evaluated for proper
spacings). Also, for building wiring systems, the PDBFS
Series and PDB Series power distribution blocks can be used
to meet the new 2005 NEC
®
requirements in section
376.56(B) for PDBs in wireways.

Feature/Benefits
• Enclosed for enhanced
safety; IP-20 finger-safe
under specific conditions,
see page 8
• High Short-Circuit Current
Ratings up to 200,000A:
PDBs do not have to be
a weak link in achieving a
high SCCR for an
industrial control panel
• Suitable for installation in
wireways and industrial
control panel feeder and branch circuits. Listed to UL1953
which has minimum spacing requirements at 600V of at least
1” through air and 2” over surface
• Small footprint saves panel space. Stack side by side and still
meet 1˝ and 2˝ spacing requirements
• For 2D and 3D CAD drawings visit www.cooperbussmann.com
Agency/Standards
