Product Description
Overview
The J85568E-1 Mini-Distribution Bay (Power Distribution Bay) 
distributes -48Vdc power in a two-load arrangement, with a 
300-ampere capacity per load. There are four fuse or circuit 
breaker panel positions. Load Bus A connects the top two fuse 
or circuit breaker panels. Load Bus B connects the bottom two 
fuse or circuit breaker panels. All panel positions must be 
equipped with either a fuse or circuit breaker panel or a blank 
panel. Each fuse panel is equipped with twelve fuse blocks for 
0-60A fuses. Each circuit breaker panel has 12 empty positions 
for up to 12 circuit breakers.
This Mini-Distribution Bay is designed to mount in a 23-inch 
relay rack. See Figure 2-1. It can also be factory installed in an 
ED8C800-50 
7
′ framework. See Figure 2-2. If the Mini-Distribution Bay is
installed in a 7
′ framework that will be located in a 9′ or 11′-6″
environment, bay extenders are available. Ordering information 
for the extenders is given in Section 3. Note: Do not mount 
Mini-Distribution Bay onto bay extenders. Other equipment 
can be added to this framework, which saves valuable floor 
space. 
The Mini-Distribution Bay offers the same fusing and alarm 
monitoring features as the J85568C-series distribution bay, but 
in a more compact design. It provides another Lineage Power 
alternative to secondary distribution requirements.
