Notes on connection technology
| |
Risk of electric shock and damage of device! Bring the bus terminal system into a safe, powered down state before starting installation, disassembly or wiring of the bus terminals! |
The wires are plugged in directly; for solid wires no tools are required, i.e. after the insulation has been stripped, the wire is simply pushed into the contact point. The same applies for ferrules. Free stranded wire ends can also be connected in this way; in this case the wire clamping mechanism has to be opened by operating the pushing device.
Like in standard terminals, the wires are released via the contact release device, using a screwdriver or pushing device.
The cables must not be live or plugged/unplugged under load.
The permitted wire cross-sections and the strip length are shown in the following table.
Wire cross-section (solid wire) | 0.2 ... 1.5 mm2 |
Cable cross-section (stranded wire) | 0.2 ... 1.5 mm2 |
Cable cross-section (stranded wire) | 0.25 ... 0.75 mm2 (with ferrule with plastic collar) |
Cable cross-section (stranded wire) | 0.25 ... 1.5 mm2 (with ferrule without plastic collar) |
Current carrying capacity, continuous | 5 A |
Conductor (AWG) | 24 – 14 | 14: THHN, THWN |
Strip length | 8 ... 9 mm / 0.31 – 0.35-inch |
