Screw terminals DIN 15-6

Introduction Properties of the insulating materials The insulating body of our terminals is made of polyamide 66. Even if this polyamide is subjected to a constant temperature of 100°C, it fulfills the electrical, mechanical and chemical properties required in terminals. The typical features of polyamide 66 are hardness, rigidity, scuff resistance and thermal endurance. Fuse terminals and fuse plugs, where constant temperatures of over 100°C can occur, are made of polyamide 66 reinforced with fibreglass. Polyamide 66 is hardly combustible, self-extinguishing and halogen-free (when a fire breaks...

Earthing Subdivision of the PEN conductor in a distribution system If the cross-section of the neutral conductor is lower than or equal to 6 mm2, the neutral conductor and the protective conductor must run separately. If the cross-section of the neutral conductor is higher than or equal to 10 mm2, the PEN conductor can be used. 1 When the PEN conductor is divided into a neutral and an earth conductor, a disconnecting unit must be inserted into the neutral conductor. This disconnecting unit must fulfill the requirements of a neutral disconnecting terminal and be mounted correctly in the house...
