Rated connection cross-section
Solid, stranded or finely stranded copper wires can be used. 1 or 2 wires of the same
cross-section can be fitted under one terminal. Both wires must be made of the same
material. No preparation is necessary prior to connecting the wires.
Notice: Auxiliary contacts can be led out through the main contact terminals.
observe the cross-sections
note the terminal marking
Connect the cables with particular care.
Choose suitable cables and route them accordingly to ensure that the maximum
permissible conductor temperatures are not exceeded.
To ensure that creepage distances are maintained remove precisely 10, 17 or 21 mm of
insulation (see chapter “Rated connection cross-section“).
The conductor must not be damaged (scored) when stripping the insulation!
Only heat-resistant cables must be used, if connected directly.
When terminal sleeves are fitted, they must be applied with a suitable tool.
