Modern vehicles and equipment demand increasingly sophisticated power management solutions. MurCal offers two cutting-edge Power Distribution Module (PDM) options from industry leaders EGIS and Enovation Controls, each bringing unique capabilities to streamline and enhance electrical system management.
--------------
EGIS Power Distribution Module
EGIS has developed an innovative all-in-one solution that combines multiple critical functions into a single compact unit. This intelligent system integrates battery protection, power switching, circuit protection, and ground return buss, with an optional manual override switch. By consolidating four separate functions into one product, it significantly reduces installation space and total installed cost.
The EGIS PDM features three high-amp outputs (1-45A) that provide comprehensive circuit protection in a single solution. One of its standout features is the flexibility to configure three output groups independently for 24/7 operation, ignition switching, or time delay. For applications requiring additional circuits, the system is expandable up to 31 fused outputs when combined with RT or CT series fuse blocks.
Vehicle battery preservation is a key focus, with the unit achieving an industry-leading ultra-low power draw of just 1.3 mA in the off state, effectively eliminating vehicle downtime due to dead batteries. Optional under and over-voltage protection safeguards both the battery and electrical loads, with the ability to extend this protection to 24/7 configured outputs.
The system's user-friendly features include LED indicators for on/off status, blown fuse alerts, and voltage/temperature abnormalities. Multiple control options are available, including ignition or V-Sense triggers, along with remote and local kill switch capabilities that can isolate all auxiliary loads, including 24/7 outputs when needed. EGIS backs their PDM with an industry-leading 4-year warranty.
COMING SOON BY ENOVATION! TO BE RELEASED IN EARLY 2025
HIGH CURRENT PDM MODULE FOR EXTREME APPLICATION ENVIRONMENTS
The High Current Power Distribution Module (HCPDM) enhances CAN bus control networks by simplifying connections for high-current loads and complex input devices.
Built to SAE J1939 standards, it features six configurable inputs and eight high-current (40A) outputs, with additional low-current outputs for applications such as relay controls. The module integrates overcurrent and short-circuit protection along with real-time diagnostics and current feedback, adding reliability in challenging environments.
Its sealed metal enclosure supports operation in extreme conditions, including high heat and vibration, and allows for easy mounting. With flexible input configurations (digital, resistive, and analog) and a configurable sensor power output (5V or 10V), the HCPDM streamlines system wiring, minimizes harness complexity, and provides robust, intelligent power distribution.

Enovation Controls IX3212 Intelligent Xpansion™
The Murphy IX3212 takes a different approach to power distribution, replacing traditional relay and fuse boxes with advanced solid-state switches. This CAN bus-enabled module excels in controlling various high-current applications, from work lights and wiper motors to cooling fans and directional DC motors.
The IX3212 offers impressive output capabilities, with 12 channels each capable of switching or proportionally controlling loads up to 15A in precise 2.5A increments. A notable feature is the ability to pair outputs for H-bridge direction control, enabling the management of up to six electric motors. Each output includes built-in over-current detection and shutdown protection.
The module's input capabilities are equally impressive, featuring 12 digital inputs for switched battery, ground, and floating inputs. It also includes six 0-5V analog inputs and two resistive inputs, complete with a 5V sensor supply. For applications not requiring CAN bus control, the system can operate independently, with inputs directly triggering outputs without needing a separate controller.

Whether you choose the EGIS PDM for its comprehensive protection features and expandability, or the Enovation Controls IX3212 for its advanced motor control and CAN bus capabilities, both solutions represent the cutting edge of power distribution technology.
