AutomationDirect: FTG Enclosed Style Power Distribution and Terminal Blocks

November 25, 2024

AutomationDirect has added FTG enclosed-style power distribution and terminal blocks to provide a convenient central location to connect several wires and distribute power from a single source to multiple loads.

The enclosed power distribution blocks feature a modular design for easy multi-pole assembly and an IP20 finger-safe protection rating. They are offered with ampere ratings up to 380A, UL voltage ratings up to 1000 VAC/VDC, and a 100kA SCCR with proper fusing. These enclosed-style blocks include many innovative refinements, such as selectable phase identification, color marking plates, simple and secure DIN mounting clips, an incoming cable safety slide, and connection clips for multi-pole applications.

The enclosed terminal blocks feature an IP20 finger-safe construction and are available with ampere ratings up to 840A, voltage ratings up to 600 VAC, and a 10kA SCCR. They are suitable for aluminum or copper conductors for maximum safety and flexibility. DIN rail or surface mounting makes installation fast and easy.

In addition, new Gladiator cuttable busbars for GMCB/GMCBU series miniature circuit breakers and supplementary protectors are now available. These busbars feature an IP20 finger-safe protection rating, are rated up to 100A (200A with center feed), and can connect up to (57) 1-pole, (28) 2-pole, or (19) 3-pole breakers without auxiliary components.

The FTG enclosed-style power distribution and terminal blocks are CE marked, RoHS compliant, and offer a 2-year warranty. The power distribution blocks are UL listed and start at $19.00; the terminal blocks are UL recognized and start at $14.00. The new Gladiator busbars start at $20.50.
