POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX ASSEMBLY GUIDE

When covers are raised the previous connection cannot be disconnected without first closing the cover- for example when the Neutral cover is raised the Earth connector cannot be removed.

Power Distribution Box

Be sure that the power distribution box has sufficient power provided to it. Long cable runs can result in a voltage drop, which can be solved by using a heavy gauge wire.

Technical note

This reference is intended for preliminary ODN and passive infrastructure research. Topology, split ratio, box or cabinet capacity, closure rating, cable type, test limits and applicable standards must be verified for the specific project.
