UL Recognized power distribution blocks
Catalog number example:
16220-3 is a 3-pole 16220
Where:
•
The prefix “16220” defines the block’s lineside
characteristics (i.e., one conductor port per
pole that accepts 2/0 - #14 Cu, or 2/0 - #8 Al
conductors) and the loadside characteristics
(i.e., four conductor ports per pole that each
accepts #4 - #14 Cu or #4 - #8 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.
Catalog symbols:
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.

distribution blocks offer a variety of lineside and
loadside port configurations to provide greater
flexibility in panel wiring and wire management.
•
Volts: 600 V
•
Amps: 175 to 1520 A
•
SCCR: up to 200 kA* (see table for SCCR by
catalog number)
*
Maximum SCCR contingent upon the application of an
upstream current-limiting overcurrent protective device.
See table for fusing requirements.
These blocks are UL Recognized to UL 1059 and
rated for use in UL 508A industrial control panels.
Flammability rating
Blocks are factory configured in 1-, 2 and 3-pole
versions, and have optional covers (order covers
separately).

* 75°C wire (higher temperature rated wire acceptable with appropriate derating). Using a ferrule on a stranded conductor requires a correctly sized UL Listed ferrule

† See Short-Circuit Current Ratings table for the tested upstream overcurrent protective devices necessary for achieving these SCCRs.
†† Dual wire and ferrule application torque rating = 30.5 N•m (270 Lb-in).
Dual wire port application
•
Rated for dual wire port application to increase the possible
number of lineside and loadside connections. E.g., 16220-1 can
accept two wires into the lineside port (#4 - #14 Cu, #4 - #8 Al)
and two wires per port (eight connections total) on the loadside
lug (#8 - #14 Cu, #8 Al).
•
Dual wire applications are only viable when using two wires of
the same size, stranding, and insulating and conductor material.
Ferrule terminal application
•
Bussmann series UL Recognized power distribution blocks are
rated for use with UL Listed ferrules (see catalog number table for
details).
•
Ferrule applications allow for the use of a broader range of
conductor stranding and simulate a more efficient, solid wire
connection with the terminal port.
•
Always use UL Listed ferrules in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications and instructions.
