Connections of the Voltage Terminals
Fixing Elements
The fixing elements for the voltage transformer connection are part of the voltage terminal (housing side). They
have a stress-crack- and corrosion-resistant alloy. The head shape of the terminal screw allows for using a flat
screwdriver (4.0 mm x 0.8 mm / 0.16 in x 0.031 in) or a crosstip screwdriver (PZ1). PZ1 is recommended.
Cable Lugs and Wire Cross-sections
The connection mode available is the connection as single cable. As single cables, solid conductors as well as
stranded conductors with or without conductor sleeves can be used. We recommend using twin cable end
sleeves when connecting two single cables. We recommend the twin cable end sleeves of the series PN 966
144 from Tyco Electronics.
When connecting single cables, the following cross-sections are allowed:
With terminal points lying one below the other you may connect single conductors and jumpers (Order No.
C53207-A406-D194-1) together. Please make sure that neighboring jumpers are built in/connected alternately.
