FAQs
When installing the PDB204-1, ensure panel mounting fits the single-pole form factor and that the enclosure provides IP-20 finger-safe access. Use the tin-plated aluminum connectors for reliable terminations and verify alignment with the panel wiring diagram. Tighten terminations to the manufacturer’s torque specification to maintain SCCR integrity and minimize loose connections that could cause heating.
The PDB204-1 is rated for 175 A with voltage support of 600 Vac/600 Vdc and an SCCR of 200 kAIC, enabling safe operation in high-energy panels and drives. Its robust connectors and compact footprint simplify wiring in motor drive and machine control applications, reducing bus bar length and improving fault discrimination while maintaining compliance with industrial safety standards.
The PDB204-1 is RoHS compliant, supporting sustainability goals and regulatory expectations in electronics assembly. Certifications are typically confirmed by the manufacturer; for Eaton, procurement can request specific certification documents as needed. This helps ensure machinery packages meet environmental and safety requirements for global deployments.
The device measures 2.87 in in length, 1.5 in in width, and 1.65 in in height, with a weight of 0.17 lb. This compact form factor minimizes enclosure footprint, enabling denser panel layouts and easier retrofits. Its panel-mount design also simplifies installation and reduces wiring obstruction in crowded control cabinets.
The PDB204-1 is well-suited for automation panels, control cabinets, motor drive power feeds, and machine control enclosures across manufacturing, packaging, and process industries. Its IP-20 protection, high SCCR, and high-current capability make it a strong fit for space-constrained panels that require safe, reliable power distribution for drives and controllers.
