------Question for 2903717 Please Put your question below------

Hi, wondering what the max current allowed for this block is? I see 15A but assume that is per pole, guessing each pole outputting 15A would exceed the rating? For my scenario I will need 2.5A per pole, is this okay? Thanks

Hello denver.cohen, For part number 2903717, The 15A max current is per pole. It says on the manufacturer website the max current is 30A [image]

Hi denver.cohen , Well, the documentation is a little hard to interpret, as it refers to poles, branches, and distribution terminal blocks. And, it gives several current ratings, including a “Max. current carrying capacity per branch” of 15A, a “Max. total current of all branches” of 30A (per poten…

Ah ok thanks for the input. But if i input 2.5A on each pole that would exceed the limits for this block right? Are there alternate terminal blocks that can handle max current of 100A?

Correct, that would exceed the rating by a significant margin. So, do you need 40 terminals, each carrying 2.5A?

For this test case, I have 44 5A loads that I want to condense into a thicker gauge wire that then terminates into an e load. the 5A loads are split into 2 wires, each carrying 2.5A each.

Am I missing something? 44 x 5A = 220A

Well, on the 2903717 , my interpretation of the specs are that it has two 30A busses, so the whole unit can handle 60A altogether. That still would require 4 units, but that’s better than 8. I’ll see what else we might have. So, does this have to be DIN rail mounted? Do the connections have to be…

Thank you! DIN rail is preferred, terminal block connections perferred but if theres a different solution I can work around that.

Correct haha, the thought was to break it out into several terminal blocks, but if this is 30A max i dont want to get 8 of them. Wondering if theres a better PN to get so I only need to order like 2 or 3
