Preparing contact areas

Use a steel brush to carefully brush the contact areas (cross-wise) of the busbars
until they are metallically bright and wipe off any residue using a clean cloth.

After cleaning, very lightly grease the bright contact areas with acid-free Vaseline
(e. g. Shell-Vaseline 8420) and screw together immediately.

Cleaning the contact areas of the busbars

 

Note

Clean silver spray-plated and copper spray-plated contact areas with a cloth, do
not brush.

Different connection materials (AI/CU) must not be cleaned with the same
cleaning tools.

Silver-plated parts must not be bolted to aluminium bars/rails.
