FAQs
The PDB371-3 is designed for panel mounting with a standard footprint, enabling straightforward integration into common control cabinet layouts. It supports three-pole distribution and tin-plated aluminum connectors for reliable terminations. Wire ranges align with the SCCR ratings (#6-1/0 AWG and #12-1/0 AWG), simplifying conductor selection and reducing assembly time during panel builds.
This block provides a 310 A amperage rating, supports 600 Vac and 600 Vdc voltage ratings, and offers short-circuit capability (SCCR) of 200 kAIC for #6-1/0 AWG and 100 kAIC for #12-1/0 AWG. Such ratings enable robust protection in demanding automation environments while allowing flexible wiring configurations within a single block.
Yes. The three-pole design, 310 A capacity, IP-20 finger-safe protection, and panel-mount compatibility make the PDB371-3 well-suited for industrial automation cabinets, MCCs, and control panels where compact, safe, and reliable power distribution is essential. Its RoHS compliance further supports clean manufacturing environments and regulatory alignment.
The PDB371-3 is RoHS compliant and offers IP-20 finger-safe protection. Certification details are typically obtained from the manufacturer, and for additional formal approvals, you can reference Eaton’s specification sheet and catalog entries. The device is designed to meet common industrial standards and is intended for integration into compliant electrical panels.
The PDB371-3 reduces wiring complexity and panel footprint, which shortens installation time and lowers labor costs. Its durable tin-plated aluminum connectors and robust SCCR ratings contribute to longer service intervals and fewer maintenance interruptions. Over the lifecycle, this can translate to lower total cost of ownership while maintaining high reliability in automation lines.
