Product Information

Full details

The DEHN 610020 Connection Clamp is designed for professionals in electrical installation and grounding systems who need a robust and reliable connection for deep grounding applications. Its key benefit is the durable stainless steel V4A construction, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion, even in demanding environments. A potential consideration is its specific clamping ranges, which require careful matching with conductor and earth rod sizes to ensure optimal performance.

FAQs

What material is the DEHN 610020 clamp made from?

The clamp is made from high-quality stainless steel V4A (316).

What is the clamping range for round conductors?

The clamp is designed for round conductors with a diameter ranging from 7mm to 10mm.

Can this clamp be used with different types of earth rods?

This clamp is designed for earth rods with a diameter of 20mm to 30mm.

Does the clamp have any surface protection?

No, the clamp has no surface protection and is supplied untreated.

What is the maximum current this clamp can handle?

The clamp is designed to handle high currents up to 8 kA.

What standards does this connection clamp comply with?

It adheres to the DIN EN 62561-1 standard.

What types of conductors can be connected besides round ones?

It can also connect flat conductors (up to 40mm width) and cables (35-70mm²).

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not fit earth rod securely

Verify the earth rod diameter is within the 20-30mm range specified for this clamp. Ensure the clamp is correctly oriented.

Conductor is not held firmly

Confirm the conductor's dimensions (diameter for round, width for flat, or cross-sectional area for cable) are within the clamp's specified range. Ensure the M8 screws are tightened evenly and sufficiently.

Visible corrosion after installation

While V4A stainless steel is highly resistant, extreme conditions can still cause surface discoloration. Ensure proper tightening to maintain good electrical contact. For severe environmental concerns, consider alternative protective measures if recommended by local codes.

Difficulty tightening screws

Ensure the M8 screws are clean and free from debris. Use appropriate tools for tightening to avoid stripping the threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and corrosion-resistant V4A stainless steel build
  • Accommodates various conductor sizes and types
  • Suitable for deep grounding applications
  • High current carrying capacity (8 kA)
  • Meets DIN EN 62561-1 standards for reliability
  • Simple, direct connection without surface coatings

Cons

  • Requires precise matching of conductor and earth rod sizes
  • Untreated surface may require specific handling to prevent premature oxidation before installation
  • Primarily designed for specific earth rod diameters (20-30 mm)
  • May be over-engineered for very light-duty applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select Appropriate Conductors and Earth Rod: Ensure your round conductors, flat conductors, or cables, and your earth rod fall within the specified clamping ranges (round conductor 7-10mm, flat conductor up to 40mm, cable 35-70mm², earth rod 20-30mm diameter).
  2. Prepare Connections: Ensure all mating surfaces (conductor, earth rod, and clamp) are clean and free from dirt or grease.
  3. Position Clamp: Place the clamp onto the earth rod, aligning it for the conductor connection.
  4. Insert and Tighten Screws: Position the conductor(s) within the clamp and firmly tighten the four M8 screws. Ensure even pressure is applied.

Compatibility:

  • Earth Rods: Compatible with earth rods having a diameter of 20-30 mm.
  • Conductors: Suitable for round conductors (7-10mm diameter), flat conductors (up to 40mm width), and cables (35-70mm²).
  • Standards: Designed to meet DIN EN 62561-1 requirements.

Care:

  • Installation Environment: Install in an environment suitable for unprotected stainless steel.
  • Cleaning: If cleaning is necessary after installation, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the connection for any signs of damage or loosening, especially after extreme weather events or electrical surges.
