Wire
Tightening
The
Terminal Block clamping parts when tightened within the torque range
ensure optimum performance as given below :
-
The
voltage drop (contact resistance) is well below specified limits
-
The wire gets clamped perfectly to form gas tight connection
-
The clamping
yoke does not get damaged
mechanically The tightening torque
according to
IEC 60947-7-1 table 4, is safe
limit of torque which
guarantees
successful clamping of the connected
wire.
Connectwell
Terminal Blocks tightening torque data is given in respective
Product pages.
All
Connectwell Terminal Blocks are designed to function with rated wire
size as per respective AWG (American Wire Gauge) or Metric
size/system.
The
terminal blocks are tested for Gauge Insertion test (as per VDE
0660)
