Troubleshooting
Wire will not insert into the terminal.
Ensure you are using a solid conductor wire. Check that the wire is stripped to the correct length and that no stray strands are obstructing the terminal. Verify the wire gauge does not exceed 4 mm².
Loose connection detected.
Carefully remove the wire and re-insert it, ensuring it is fully seated within the terminal. If the issue persists, inspect the wire end for damage or deformation. Consider using a new section of wire.
Terminal block does not fit the mounting rail.
Verify that your distribution board uses a standard mounting rail compatible with 105mm wide terminal blocks. Ensure no obstructions are present on the rail.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Quick and easy installation due to tool-free connection
Space-efficient design ideal for modern distribution boards
Clear labeling reduces potential for wiring mistakes
Robust construction ensures reliable grounding connections
High rated current capacity suitable for main earthing
Cons
Primarily designed for solid wires; stranded wires may require additional connectors
Limited to PE (protective earth) applications
Specific dimensions (105mm width) may impact fitting in very compact enclosures
Color coding is standard and may require reference for specific regional codes if deviations exist
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the distribution board has a suitable mounting rail for terminal blocks.
Identify the PE (green/yellow) connection points on your wiring.
For solid conductors up to 4 mm², strip the wire insulation to the appropriate length (refer to installation manual if available).
Insert the solid conductor directly into the designated terminal opening until it is securely seated.
Repeat for all required PE connections.
Compatibility:
Designed for use in standard European distribution boards.
Compatible with solid copper conductors up to 4 mm².
Rated for a maximum current of 63A.
Primarily intended for Protective Earth (PE) applications.
Care:
Keep the terminal block clean and free from dust and debris.
Periodically inspect connections for any signs of damage or corrosion (annual electrical inspection recommended).
Avoid exposing the terminal block to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals.
