Eaton 16220-3 Power distribution block - SCCR 10 kAIC
Part Number: 16220-3
Quick Summary
The Eaton Bussmann series power distribution block provides compact, reliable power routing for industrial machinery and control panels. In dense switchgear layouts, space constraints and uncertain SCCR values can slow commissioning and raise safety risk. This block is RoHS compliant, with additional certifications available from the manufacturer upon request, reflecting a commitment to regulatory alignment in modern automation environments. While the warranty states Not Applicable in this data, users benefit from a molded thermoplastic enclosure that resists wear in typical factory settings and a robust 175 A current rating. This combination supports safer wiring, faster panel builds, and scalable power distribution for industrial power management and control systems.

Power distribution
High current utilization enables a single block to distribute up to 175 A, reducing hardware count and simplifying wiring in motor control and panel assemblies, which translates to faster installs and lower maintenance. The 600 Vac and 600 Vdc voltage rating provides universal compatibility with mixed power systems, streamlining procurement and improving long-term flexibility for evolving plant architectures. The three-pole design simplifies three-phase distribution, lowering wiring complexity and enabling compact panel layouts for tighter control enclosures. With SCCR of 10 kAIC, the block supports safer operation for critical circuits, improving safety margins in mid- to high-power applications. The molded thermoplastic enclosure offers durable, lightweight protection against dust and impact, supporting efficient field installation and reduced fatigue during wiring. RoHS compliance ensures regulatory alignment for modern automation projects and helps minimize hazardous substances in legacy facilities.
