Troubleshooting
Clamp does not fit busbar
Verify that the busbar thickness is exactly 10mm. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the busbar or clamp.
Conductor is loose in the clamp
Confirm that the conductor's cross-sectional area is within the 35-70mm² range. Check if the clamp mechanism is fully engaged and secured.
Corrosion observed on the clamp
While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to harsh environments may cause minor surface corrosion. Ensure the area is clean and dry. For severe corrosion, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the 10mm thick busbar where the clamp will be attached.
- Ensure the conductor (35-70mm²) is stripped to the appropriate length.
- Position the conductor into the clamp and align the clamp onto the busbar.
- Secure the clamp, typically by tightening screws (if provided separately) or ensuring a firm snap-fit onto the busbar, depending on the exact mounting mechanism.
- Connect the conductor to the clamp terminal if a separate connection point exists.
Compatibility:
- Busbar Thickness: Compatible only with busbars that are 10mm thick.
- Flexbar Dimensions: Compatible with 16.5x15mm flexbars.
- Conductor Cross-Section: Suitable for round conductors and laminated copper bars ranging from 35mm² to 70mm².
Care:
- The steel construction with passivation is designed for low maintenance.
- Keep the clamps clean and free from excessive dust or debris.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the zinc plating or passivation layer.
