- Poles: a 1, 2 or 3 pole block, or an adder pole, which snaps onto a 1, 2 or 3 pole block; adder poles lock together to form as many poles as required.
Ampere ratings are based on NEC Table 310-16 for 75 °C copper wire.
Blocks for 5, 6 and 10 poles are also available: modify the adder catalog number (63100 becomes 63106 for 6 poles).
SCCR: short-circuit current rating 100 kA with a correctly sized fuse, except adder blocks.
