finger-safe/POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS

SAFETY EVOLVING FINGER-SAFE POWER

DISTRIBUTION BLOCKS

Ferraz Shawmut FSPDBs introduce a new level

of safety and ease for installing power distribu-
tion blocks. An IP20 level of finger safe protection
is achieved using FSPDBs, eliminating the need
for special covers or custom plexiglass sheets to
protect your panels. FSPDBs (sizes 1 to 4) simply
snap onto 35mm DIN rail to provide the quickest
installation. Modular design also allows for multi
pole applications by use of assembly pins. FSPDBs
provide a safe, convenient way of splicing cables,
splitting primary power into a variety of secondary
circuits or providing a fixed junction tap-off point.
