Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1492-PDM3111 is a compact, high-amperage power distribution block designed for industrial automation and control applications. Operating at 115 amps and 600 volts AC/DC, this 3-pole aluminum unit efficiently distributes power from a main feed terminal block to multiple smaller load blocks with reduced cross-sections. The PDM3111 is part of Allen-Bradley’s proven 1492 Power Block line, offering IP2X finger-safe protection and reliable screw-connection terminals for safe wire termination.

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
- Verify specific part compatibility with technical documentation; the 1492-PDM3111 is a mini-style 3-pole block with 115 amp rating specific to this model number. Other 1492-PD variants (such as 1492-PDM3141) have different amperages or configurations and should not be assumed interchangeable without verification.
Works With
- All 1492-PD series power blocks (line-side and load-side compatible)
- Standard industrial screw-terminal wiring practices
- Copper conductors #14 to #2 AWG
- Industrial control systems using three-phase AC/DC power distribution
