Marathon Special Products Releases New Line of UL Listed Enclosed Power Distribution Blocks

Bowling Green, OH: Marathon Special Products, an industry leader in electrical/electronic components, released a new addition to their Enclosed Power Block line today. Along with the enhanced touch-proof protection, the new Enclosed Power Distribution Blocks (PDB) are UL Listed and designed to meet the new spacing requirements with elevated SCCR ratings per UL508A and NEC2005. UL Listed components make it easy to get panels UL listed.  Features of new Enclosed PDB’s include broader wire range (3/0-14) and a modular design that allows snapping of any number of poles together.

According to Bruce Golen, Sr. Application Engineer at Marathon Special Products, “Marathon’s Power Distribution Blocks have the unique distinction of being UL compliant when used with flexible stranded wires and are also UL approved for multiple wires per opening. These two added benefits provide customers significant flexibility."

Many of Marathon’s products, including the newly released Power Distribution Blocks (PDB), are compliant to UL standards for use with flexible stranded wire (Class G, H, I & K). The newly released PDB’s can be used for variety of applications including industrial control panels, solar combiner boxes and inverter panels, wind power and other commercial applications.
