Splicer blocks

Catalog symbols:

•

160__-(poles)

•

162__-(poles)

•

163__-(poles)

•

165__-(poles)

Description:

increasing or decreasing wire size within a circuit

to accommodate different connections from the

power source to the branch load.

Splicer blocks are available for wire sizes up to 500

kcmil and amp ratings up to 760 A.

use in UL 508A industrial control panels.

These blocks are factory configured from 1- to

4-poles (catalog number dependent) with optional

covers available to enhance safety (order covers

separately).

Catalog number example:

16204-3 is a 3-pole 16204

Where:

•

The prefix “16204” defines the block’s lineside

and loadside characteristics (i.e., conductor port

per pole that accepts 2/0 - #14 Cu, or 2/0 - #12

Al conductors).

•

The suffix “3” in this example defines this as a

three-pole block.

•

See the catalog number tables for details on the

available lineside/loadside characteristics.

How to order:

From the catalog number tables, select the catalog

number that defines the desired lineside/loadside

port and conductor characteristics.

Add to the catalog number the suffix that defines

the desired pole configuration. Note, you must

select from the available number of poles for

each catalog number. These appear in the second

column of the catalog number tables.
