Bulletin 1492 — Power Blocks
Rockwell Automation offers a broad line of Allen-Bradley Power Distribution Blocks, which are designed to meet most application needs. The Power Blocks feature terminal identification options (either write-on marking surface or marker retention feature). In addition, mounting dimensions are provided with each unit and wire ranges and tightening torques are labeled on the product to simplify installation.
Five styles of power blocks are available:
- Mini blocks
- Open-style power distribution terminal blocks with aluminum or copper connectors
- Open-style feed-through/splicer terminal blocks with aluminum or copper connectors
- Enclosed power distribution terminal blocks with aluminum or copper connectors
- Power distribution terminal blocks with aluminum connectors with feeder spacing, high SCCR, and front barrier.
