Dual wire port application

•

Rated for dual wire port application to increase the possible

number of lineside and loadside connections. E.g., 16303-1 can

accept two wires into the lineside port (1/0 - #6 Cu/Al) and two

wires per port (2 connections per pole total) on the loadside lug

(1/0 - #6 Cu/Al).

•

Dual wire applications are only viable when using two wires of

the same size, stranding, and insulating and conductor material in

the same port.

Ferrule terminal application

•

Bussmann series splicer blocks are rated for use with UL Listed

ferrules (see catalog number table for details). Ferrule ratings

apply to copper wire only.

•

Ferrule applications allow for the use of a broader range of

conductor stranding and simulate a more efficient, solid wire

connection with the PDB terminal port.

•

Always use UL Listed ferrules in accordance with the

manufacturer’s specifications and instructions.
