Effective September 2017 Technical Data 10534 Supersedes June 2016 Splicer blocks 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 Catalog symbols: column of the catalog number tables. • 160__-(poles) Specifications: • 162__-(poles) Ratings • 163__-(poles) • • 165__-(poles) Volts: 600 V • Amps: 115 to 760 A Description: • SCCR: up to 200 kA* (see table for SCCR by catalog number) Bussmann™ series splicer blocks allow for * Maximum SCCR contingent upon the application of an increasing or decreasing wire size within a circuit upstream current-limiting overcurrent protective device. to accommodate different connections from the See table for fusing requirements. power source to the branch load.
