Installation switch - Do you still need suitable switches to switch your lighting circuits? These should be of high quality, cheap and usable for different requirements? Then you've come to the right place in this eibabo® catalogue. We light up the darkness. Here you will find information about the different switch types, the areas of application and their special features with regard to the installation.What are installation switches?In electrical engineering, an installation switch is a component that disconnects or connects a circuit as part of a switching process or diverts it from one electrical conductor to another. An installation switch is typically constructed electromechanically and consists of one or more movable, current-conducting contact pairs. If a contact pair touches, the current can flow. If the contacts are separated, no current flows. The devices are differentiated according to their technical design, their switching type and their operation. Connection of the electrical conductors:Here in the shop you will find high-quality switches with screw connection terminals or plug-in terminals as well as installation switches for rigid or flexible electrical conductors. Types of switching are, for example, off switches and changeover switches, series switches, cross switches, multiple switches or group switches. If you look at the operation, then there are, for example, rocker switches, toggle switches, rotary switches, step switches, pushbutton switches, pull switches and switches that work with radio or cards.Where are installation switches used?In the low-voltage network, installation switches are mainly used to switch lighting circuits. The installation switches are available either as variants for surface-mounted installation, duct installation, switch panel installation or flush-mounted installation. For flush-mounted variants, there are suitable switch boxes for solid walls and lightweight walls.Which installation switch should I buy?Choosing the right installation switch depends on various factors. These include:What should be switched (light, blinds and so on)?How should the circuit be set up? Which switching conditions are desired?How should the switch be operated (remote control, time switch and so on)?Is the switch exposed to special conditions (humidity, temperature fluctuations)?and some more Below we give you a brief overview of the various switches and circuits. This should help you to be able to select the best switch for your application.How do the individual circuit types differ?At eibabo® we carry installation switches from the switch ranges of all well-known manufacturers. The installation switches are mostly offered as hand-operated switches for a fixed installation. Many technical differences lead to numerous possible applications and a wide selection. Using the example of switching lighting circuits, we distinguish:ON/OFF switchThis is the simplest of the switching types mentioned. Here, a lighting circuit is opened or closed via a switch. They switch one lamp or several lamps connected in series.toggle switchThe toggle switch works similar to the ON/OFF switch. The difference is that you can switch the light from two switching points. Each changeover switch has three terminals and the two switching points are connected to one another by two conductors. With each of the two switches you can connect to one or the other line. The opening or closing of the circuit thus takes place independently of the other changeover switch. Depending on the switch position, the current either flows through one of the two conductors or not at all. This type of switch is used, for example, in long corridors or between two floors.security at nightMany installation switches can be selected with or without a glow control lamp. Variants with orientation light or switch lighting are often possible.cross switchThe cross switch can be seen as an extension of the toggle switch. With the cross switch you can switch the light from more than two switching points. A cross switch is therefore equipped with four connections. In principle, the number of possible cross switches in the lighting circuit is not limited, but the wiring becomes more complex with each switch. As soon as more than three or four switching points are desired, the circuit is better made with a latching switch and buttons.series switchA series switch consists of more than just a rocker switch. With such double switches or multiple switches, you can switch the corresponding number of lighting circuits separately via one control element (e.g. the ceiling lighting and the ambient lighting in the living room).group switchThe group switch works similar to the series switch. This also switches more than one circuit - but according to the either-or principle. In other words, either one lamp or the other lamp lights up. Both circuits can therefore never be switched on at the same time.Installation switch with special equipmentSpecial versions of switches are suitable for all requirements that you place on your project or want to implement. At eibabo® you can choose from a large selection of high-quality installation switches for different purposes:Button for the installation remote controlelectronic switchesremote control switchesSwitches in combination with dimmers and time switchesand so forth Image: Jung 507 U cross rocker switchWhat do the symbols on the installation switches mean?If you look at the front and back of installation switches, you will notice a number of symbols. Some are used to display the current switching status, others provide information on correct installation. Often encountered are:~ - the wavy line (tilde) represents alternating currentN - the capital N denotes the neutral conductorL - the capital L stands for the outer conductor0 / O - the zero / the big O describe the off position1 / I - the one / the capital I symbolize the on position / ON position? / ? - Arrows in the direction of the connector represent inputs, opposite arrows are outputsK - stands for a 'corresponding' connection (to another toggle switch)NF - is the abbreviation for low frequency Depending on the manufacturer, the circuit diagram of the device as well as safety instructions such as the GS symbol or the ÖVE symbol can be shown on the back.What type of protection should I choose for my installation switch?The area of application of an installation switch is also determined by its IP protection class (ingress protection). This indicates how well the device is protected from foreign objects and moisture. Most indoor switches do not have a particularly high level of protection. You will often find the designation 'IP20' on the device. If you are looking for an installation switch for damp rooms or outdoors, please make sure that the device is suitable for the respective location. You can usually find this information in the product description.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Switch you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Blind controlCeiling fanCentral plateCloserControl switchDesign coverElectrical installationEnergy saving switchHeating controlHeating emergency switchKey switchNostalgia switchRadio fanRemovable fanReversing switchRocker control switchRocker switchShift knobShutter buttonShutter switchSwitchSwitch control switchSwitch insertSwitch rangeThermostatTitle blockTwilight switchVentilation unitfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Installation switch:BEGA GantenbrinkBerkerBusch JaegerElsoGiraHagerHeliosHHGHuber + Söhne WHDJungLegrand BticinoLegrand SEKOMaicoMertenOBOPehaSchabusSchneider ElectricSiemens
Heating actuator - A comfortably warm bath after getting up or a cool bedroom at night - automatically. Who does not want that? Modern building automation makes it possible. The interaction of room temperature controllers, heating actuators and valve drives offers almost unlimited possibilities. The setup can be set up in all rooms according to the needs of everyday life.What are heating actuators?If you want to regulate the temperature in the room, in the apartment or in the entire building automatically, heating actuators play a central role. In principle, these are switching actuators. However, these are not equipped with mechanical relays. Thermoelectric valves (low ohmic loads) work here, which use electronic circuits (Triac) to ensure closed hot water circuits or chilled water (chilled ceiling). As a result, these devices are noiseless and wear-free.How is room temperature controlled via a heating actuator?The control difference determined by a KNX room temperature controller, i.e. the difference between the setpoint temperature and the actual temperature, is converted into a command value telegram. It is sent to the corresponding channel of the heating actuator via the KNX bus. Connect the thermoelectric (conventional) actuator to the duct using a suitable cable (e.g. NYM-J 3x1.5). The heating actuator can switch directly (1 bit) or independently process a received 1-byte command value signal internally. With the latter, the KNX bus is relieved because there is no flood of control telegrams from the room temperature controller to the actuator. Only the calculated control difference is sent to the actuator as a 1-byte command value telegram (0-100%). This converts the information into switching signals (on/off) directly to the assigned heating channel. This is called pulse width modulation (PWM). TIP:Make sure there are enough control channels on the heating actuator, ideally at least one per room. This creates maximum flexibility when controlling. The following small example illustrates the rough functionality, not the actual, manufacturer-specific control algorithm:The current temperature (controlled variable) is 20 degrees Celsius. The desired room temperature is 25 degrees Celsius and represents the set value for the controlled variable (command variable). The difference between the desired room temperature (set value) and the current temperature (actual value) is the control difference. The control difference is 5 degrees Celsius and is used to determine the manipulated variable that influences the room temperature. Assuming the manipulated variable is 20%. This value is sent to the heating actuator in the form of a 1-byte telegram (0-255 = 0-100%). The value 51 is therefore transmitted to the actuator. The time for opening/closing the actuator is stored in the parameters of the actuator using ETS. You can find this time in the properties of the respective 230V AC or 24V DC thermoelectric actuator. For example, the actuator takes 2 minutes to fully open. With a command value specification of 20%, the actuator would switch on the valve drive for 24 seconds (20% of 2 min.) and switch it off for 96 seconds. This process is repeated until the room temperature controller calculates and sends another command value specification. Depending on the manufacturer of the actuator, you can integrate several actuators per channel.How do I find the right heating actuator?The selection of a suitable heating actuator is linked to certain requirements. Answering the following questions will help you make a decision:How many heating circuits does my system have?How many actuators do I have per heating circuit?Do I want to install the heating actuator centrally or directly in the heating circuit distributor?Do I want to protect the power supply of the device via a connection for auxiliary voltage?With what voltage do the actuators work?Which functions should the heating actuator have?Do I prefer a certain brand?and many more The range of functions of a heating actuator in particular can differ depending on the model. Things to keep in mind include the following:Is it controlled with 1bit (switching/PWM) and/or 8bit (continuous) control values?Is direct control with a temperature value possible via the KNX bus?Does the device have an integrated temperature controller?Are the setpoints saved in the event of a bus voltage failure?Is there an emergency operation if the cyclic command values fail?Are different operating modes available (comfort, night, frost protection, summer mode or winter mode)?Is there a short-circuit detection and a voltage failure detection?Does the device have a pump shut-off? High comfortDepending on the model, it is possible to set a minimum comfort temperature for the underfloor heating. An additional sensor measures the temperature of the floor and keeps it at your comfort level. This is very pleasant in barefoot zones such as a bath.Depending on what value you place on the individual properties, the range of products can be limited to just a few models.Can I connect a heating actuator directly to the actuators in my heating circuits?In the case of a decentralized installation, for example in the heating circuit distributor, models with L and N connections can be used for direct connection of the actuators.Are KNX actuators really bad?Thermoelectric actuators are not wear-free and should be replaced every year. That is why expensive KNX actuators, which combine the KNX actuator and actuator, have not caught on and are disappearing from the market.Image: Jung Triac 2336-REG-HZR-HE 6-fold KNX heating actuatorHow are thermoelectric actuators installed?Thermoelectric actuators (valve drives) are snapped or screwed directly onto the upper part of the valve used in the house. This connection with the valve spindle is usually made directly in the heating circuit distributor. You can use adapters made of PVC or metal to compensate for the manufacturer-specific distance differences between the drive and the upper part of the valve or the thread and the mount. In this way you ensure correct implementation of the manipulated variable.How do I prevent rapid wear and tear on my valve drives?The ETS parameter 'Flush' minimizes wear and tear on valves that are rarely used, for example in summer or in bedrooms. This function prevents rapid calcification of the heating valves. Good to knowWith actuators, a distinction is made between NC (normally closed) and NO (normally open). NC drives open when power is applied. In NO actuators, the current closes the valve. Please bear this in mind when planning your heating system, as it is ultimately your personal decision. In the event of a power failure or defect, NC drives close and you quickly notice a malfunction. These drives only consume electricity when heating. On the other hand, drives that open without current are more efficient during the heating period. In this case, switching off the pump by the heating actuator after the winter season would be advisable. Otherwise you would continuously use electricity to keep the heating closed by means of the NO actuators in the warm season.Who are the leading manufacturers of KNX heating actuators?The leading manufacturers of KNX heating actuators at eibabo® are, for example, ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, EIBMARKT, Elsner, Gira, Hager, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens and Theben. We have more than 25 years of experience in the field of building automation and have arranged the order of the products in this catalog accordingly.

Actuating drive - Do you want your heating systems to offer the desired living comfort while working efficiently? Then it should be equipped with durable and high-quality actuators that optimally control the flow of the heating medium. Find out more about actuators, their function and use here. Actuators are required to open and close the water circuit of a heating system or cooling ceiling. To do this, the drives are screwed or snapped onto a valve. Efficient heating of buildings has become a challenge. It is no longer just about warming the residents, but:adjust the temperature sensibly to the function of the roomusing as few resources as possibleto ensure a long service life of the systemto enable convenient operation All of these lead to money savings, environmental protection and a better quality of life, and depend in part on the heating system installed in the building. In this eibabo® catalog you will find conventional actuators for 24 volt systems or 230 volt systems. Depending on your needs, choose normally open or normally closed models and installation accessories.What are thermoelectric actuators?Thermoelectric actuators are general purpose actuators designed to provide on-off control of a variety of control valves. In private use, these are typically the valves of underfloor heating, but can also be used in industry for other heating systems, ventilation systems and cooling systems. The devices regulate the flow of the heating medium (e.g. hot water) in a circuit and thus ensure that the temperature in the building is controlled. Thermoelectric actuators can be used on the heater valves as well as in the heater manifolds and the floor manifolds.Please noteSome actuator models only suitable for certain valve inserts. Please read the product descriptions and pay particular attention to the dimensioning of the attachment on the valves and the type of power supply.Modern actuators work together with room thermostats and heating actuators and can be integrated into the building management system.Should I buy normally open or normally closed actuators?With actuators, we distinguish between NC (normally closed) and NO (normally open). Which variant you choose depends on your personal needs. NC drives are always closed and open when power is applied. In the case of normally open NO actuators, the current ensures that the valve closes. Please take this into account when planning your heating system. But what are the advantages or disadvantages? In the event of a power failure or defect, NC drives close. If it is a heating season, you will quickly notice the malfunction. It's getting cold in the house. NC drives therefore only consume electricity when they are being heated. On the other hand, drives that open without current are more efficient during the heating period. However, in the warm season you must keep the drives closed using electricity, otherwise you may heat your building unnecessarily. In such a case, switching off the pump by the heating actuator or manually after the winter season would be advisable.How are thermoelectric actuators installed?Thermoelectric actuators (valve drives) are snapped or screwed directly onto the upper part of the valve used in the house. This connection with the valve spindle is usually made directly in the heating circuit distributor. You can use adapters made of PVC or metal to compensate for the manufacturer-specific distance differences between the drive and the upper part of the valve or the thread and the mount. In this way you ensure correct implementation of the manipulated variable.Why are there no KNX actuators?With a decentralized installation, for example in the heating circuit distributor, you can use heating actuators with L and N connections for direct connection of the actuators. You can find more information in our 'Heating actuator' category. Contrary to widespread opinion, thermoelectric actuators are not wear-free and must be replaced every year. This is why earlier versions of expensive KNX actuators (i.e. devices that combine the KNX actuator and actuator) have not caught on and are increasingly disappearing from the market. It is therefore a question of long-term cost efficiency to separate the technology from the positioning drive and the actuator. The actuator is parameterized using the Engineering Tool Software ETS. TIPThe ETS parameter 'Flush' helps to minimize wear on rarely used valves. This function prevents the heating valves from calcifying too quickly. This KNX software is manufacturer-independent and is required to develop and configure individual controls for building automation. That means: The actuator opens and closes the actuators according to the programmed specifications.What should I look out for when buying an actuator?Reliable working actuators are the key to the correct and efficient operation of the entire heating system. When selecting thermoelectric actuators, you should pay attention to the following points:The drives must be compatible with the rest of the heating system. Check that these match the valves. An important parameter here is the so-called stroke, which is usually specified in millimeters. The stroke of the actuator must match the closing dimension of the valve. If the stroke is too small, the actuator will not fully open or close the valve (depending on the NO or NC variant).Decide on a normally open or normally closed variant.Pay attention to the power supply. Here we distinguish between 24 volts and 230 volts.The power consumption of the drive should be as low as possible and not exceed 5 watts.Opening and closing a valve takes time. High-quality equipment offers opening and closing times of less than 3 minutes.The actuator should have an easily recognizable status display so that the current status can be easily read. Image: ABB TSA/K 230.2 thermoelectric actuatorIn addition to thermoelectric actuators, we offer you the following products:radiator valve drivesActuators including binary inputselectromotive actuatorsRadiator control drivesWireless actuators with and without room temperature controllerRadiator thermostatsstraight valvesvalve adapterReceiver for heating actuatorsand many more Well-known brand manufacturers in our range include ABB, Busch-Jäger, Eaton, Gira, Hager, Heimeier, Issendorf, Lingg & Janke, Merten, MDT, Siemens, Somfy and Theben.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Actuating drive for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:ActuatorBattery poweredBus technologyContinuous controlControl valveEnergy efficientHeater driveHeating controlHeating controllerHeating technologyRadiator thermostatRetrofitRoom temperature controllerRoom thermostatTemperature controlTemperature controllerThermostatTime profileValve driveWax cartridge drivefrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Actuating drive:ABBAVM ComputersystemeBusch JaegerEberleEltakoFKRGiraHagerIssendorffJungMertenRademacherSiemensSomfyThebenWindowMaster
Meter cabinet - complete - Do you operate a solar system on an open space or on a rented roof? Do you need an electricity meter or a grid connection, which serves as a connection between your system and the public distribution grid? Then we recommend our high-quality meter connection columns and converter cabinets. Even if you are looking for an inexpensive complete meter cabinet, this section of our eibabo® shop is just right for you.What does complete meter cabinet mean?As a specialist center for electrical engineering, the eibabo® shop offers meter cabinets and control cabinets for individual installation. These are empty and can be equipped by you according to your own ideas, taking into account legal regulations. In addition to numerous individual components for your electrical installation, you will also receive inexpensive and high-quality items that are already preconfigured. These include, for example, our system cabinets or our universal complete meter cabinets. These are already wired to a certain extent, meter locations are provided and connection rooms with busbars and distributor rows are available. TIP:By deciding in favor of such a product, you save time during installation and receive a distribution center that is precisely tailored to your needs. The complete meter cabinets are suitable for surface mounting, flush mounting or partially recessed installation.What are meter connection columns?You will also find ready-made meter connection columns in this catalogue. Such a system is also called an open-air column. This is a stationary control cabinet, usually anchored in the ground or on a foundation, with an integrated electricity meter. The meter connection pillar often serves as a transfer point between the distribution network operator (VNB) and the private energy distribution network.On the one hand, we offer you basic models and, on the other hand, systems that have been set up according to the technical connection requirements of the distribution network operator. The details of the respective distribution network operator can be found in the product description. The basic models correspond to the current technical application rules VDE-AR-N 4101 and 4102. These can also be expanded to ready-to-connect meter connection columns from the relevant distribution network operator using additional components. Depending on the size of the system, a direct measurement or a 'semi-indirect' measurement as a transducer is possible.In a nutshellIn contrast to direct measurement, currents and voltages in large systems cannot be recorded directly by the meter. Then a converter measurement is carried out. With the 'semi-indirect' measurement in the low-voltage range, a current transformer reduces the measured variable proportionally and makes it measurable for the meter again. In the case of medium voltage, an 'indirect' measurement is carried out by using an additional voltage transformer.All meter connection columns are usually characterized by the following properties:Suitability for outdoor installation for connection to the low-voltage network of the DSORobust housing made of glass fiber reinforced polyester, some including a burial baseinterchangeable door hinges with detachable doorssecurely lockable via an integrated locking cylinder, often with a multi-point lockOption for additional locking cylinders (e.g. from VNB locking system)Ventilation via labyrinthine ventilation channels (prevents the ingress of foreign bodies)high IP protection Meter connection pillars are usually used at property boundaries or when the network operator cannot access the building. In some cases there is no building on the property. Meter connection columns are also installed here.Image: GSAB 25.W250.001 transducer measurementThe eibabo® customer serviceYour satisfaction is very important to us.

Earthed plug - Electricity is essential in all areas of daily life these days. Whether household appliances, entertainment or even driving a car - nothing works without electricity. But not only the use of electricity is important, the secure connection of the electrical devices is also crucial. SCHUKO plugs are used here. These plugs are reliable and guarantee a stable connection between the devices and the mains. SCHUKO is the abbreviation for protective contact and a system of plugs and sockets. The SCHUKO plug is part of this plug-in system, which can be plugged in and unplugged under electrical voltage or load.What is a SCHUKO plug?SCHUKO is a system of mains plugs and sockets of the CEE 7/4 standard. These are also known as Type F connectors. Type F plugs are used, for example, in Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Norway and many countries in Eastern Europe.Already knewThe grounded SCHUKO plug in its current form was patented in 1929 by Siemens-Schuckertwerke AG. This was preceded by a patent by Albert Büttner, who designed the basic shape of the plug and held all the necessary parts together with just a single screw.SCHUKO plugs and the associated sockets are usually equipped with a protective earth and are intended for use in 230-volt networks with a current of 16 amps. SCHUKO plugs and sockets are unpolarized. That means: outer conductor and neutral conductor are randomly connected. In addition to the outer conductor and the neutral conductor, the system has a green-yellow protective conductor, which takes over the protective earthing with two flat contacts at the top and bottom of the plug. When plugged into a socket, the SCHUKO plug closes the connection cavity of the socket and thus prevents contact with conductive components when making contact. First, a ground is established between the flat contacts of the plug and the grounding terminals located in the socket. Only then do the phase conductor connections and the neutral conductor connections come into contact with one another. And it is precisely this fact that is special about the SCHUKO system and gives it its name: the protective contact connection diverts dangerous voltages as soon as the electrical circuit is closed by the other two poles. This design with leading protective contact ensures that there are no dangerous voltages on accessible parts of the device.Additional lateral guide slots in the socket are required for reasons of stability. These enable the use of large and heavy SCHUKO plugs, for example with a built-in transformer or timer.Image: Mennekes 10837 Schuko plugBasic information on the typification of plugs and socketsThe plugs and sockets that exist worldwide are numerous and correspondingly different. Their design and structure is often historical and adapted to the conditions of the power grid in the respective region. Worldwide, we distinguish between two standards for wired AC transmission. On the one hand, this is the 230 volt standard with a frequency of 50 Hertz / 60 Hertz. On the other hand, it is the 110 volt technology with a frequency of 50 Hertz / 60 Hertz. Based on this, individual countries and manufacturing companies began to offer their own connectors. This led to a high degree of individualization. The introduction of a globally standardized plug system failed on the one hand because of political sensitivities, wars and conflicts and, of course, because of the two already established transmission standards. Because there would be a risk of devices being damaged or short circuits or fires occurring if a device were connected to a network with a voltage other than its nominal value. As a result, the development of adapters and transformers was accepted instead to achieve cross-system international compatibility.NoticeThere are currently 15 plug / socket standards worldwide, referred to as plug types A to O. Here in Central Europe, types C, E and F are used, some of which are also compatible with each other.The Type-C plug is an unearthed two-pronged plug that used to be standard in most European countries as well as in the countries of the former USSR. This type is considered the forerunner of today's French type E and the German type F. Type C plugs are still often found in the form of flat plugs on many devices such as fairy lights, floor lamps, razors, hair dryers and other small household appliances. In the international CEE system, this plug shape is referred to as the CEE 7/16 standard. Type C plugs fit perfectly into a Type F SCHUKO socket.With the French type E plug, there is a grounding contact for the protective conductor in the center above the pins for the phase conductor and neutral conductor. The counterpart to this is a pin that protrudes from the French Type E socket. Classic plugs of this type are usually round and do not fit into the Type F SCHUKO socket because the lateral guide grooves and the recess for the earthing contacts attached at the top and bottom are missing. However, these are only very rarely found and are increasingly being replaced by CEE 7/7 plugs, which fit both type E sockets and type F SCHUKO sockets.The German Type F SCHUKO plug is widely used throughout Europe, as well as in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. This is characterized by the grounding clamps at the top and bottom and by a guide groove on the right and left. In the international CEE system, this plug shape is referred to as the CEE 7/4 standard and is not compatible with the French Type E socket due to the lack of a recess for the grounding pin. This is why it is now considered obsolete. In the course of a homogenization of the European market, this plug is often replaced by the CEE 7/7 plug, which is a hybrid E/F plug. The CEE-7/7 SCHUKO plug is therefore the current, grounded and universal continental European standard:with grounding clips on both sides to match with Type F socketwith a socket contact to accept the ground pin of the Type E socket  by the wayThe socket of the SCHUKO socket is set back by 15 mm so that there is no risk of electric shock if the plug is partially inserted. Both the SCHUKO system and the French counterpart are designed for a nominal voltage of 230 volts at 50 hertz. All components are designed for 16 amps as standard. At 230 volts, this corresponds to an output of 3,680 watts.What is a contour plug?In connection with SCHUKO plugs, we often hear the term contour plug. A contoured plug is a two-pole (i.e. unearthed) plug that has the necessary recesses for the German grounding clamps, the guide grooves and an additional hole for the French protective conductor contact on the rounded edge of the plug. The plug thus fits into both systems, but does not use the protective contacts.At eibabo® you will find not only classic SCHUKO connectors, but also 2KT SCHUKO connectors (for difficult conditions), duroplastic connectors, flat connectors, flat cable connectors and flat connectors. Rubber plugs and PVC SCHUKO plugs as well as assembly plugs, angled plugs and wall plugs are also available for the SCHUKO system. In addition to the protective contact plugs of the SCHUKO system, we also carry protective contact plugs of the Swiss system and the English plug system. Please noteSCHUKO plug connections are not always compatible with other safety plug systems. SCHUKO plugs from all approved and well-known manufacturers are offered here in the shop, including ABL Sursum, Berker, Bachmann, Merten, Mennekes, Gira, Busch-Jaeger and Apsa.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Plug with protective contact you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Angle connectorBelgium clutchBelgium plugConnectorConnectorsDevice connectorElamide connectorEuropean plugFrance clutchFrance plugFrench plugHousehold plugProtective contactRubber plugSafety plugSchuko plugSocketsSolid rubber plugfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Earthed plug:ABLBachmannBalsBerkerBusch JaegerE+P ElektrikElsproGiraHartingHirschmannJungKleinhuisLegrand BticinoMennekesMertenMeyerSchulteWalther
Radio transmitter - Would you like to automate an existing electrical installation at low cost without having to open walls and lay many lines or cables? Do you want to retrofit or expand your smart home? Then both radio transmitters and radio receivers belong on your shopping list. Find out more here about the possibilities that radio transmitters and radio receivers offer you. Radio technology has become an integral part of our everyday life. Think of radio signals, television and mobile phones, the Internet and many other things.WLAN or Wi-Fi?WLAN is a wireless radio network limited to a local area. Wi-Fi is more of a brand name of a consortium of companies (Wi-Fi Alliance). For example, devices labeled 'Wireless Fidelity' receive WiFi.In the field of radio transmitters, there are numerous device types and standards, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and cellular.What are radio transmitters?A radio transmitter is an electronic device that generates radio waves. In the field of electrical engineering, the device mainly transmits control signals, switching signals, error messages and status messages. In telecommunications, radio transmitters are used to transmit or send data using an antenna. The transmitter converts the information into a high-frequency alternating current, which is radiated from an antenna as radio waves. Already knew?The Solt transmitter of the Hungarian 'Kossuth Rádió' is the most powerful radio transmitter in Europe. The program can be received in the USA and South Asia. Depending on the type of device, the radio waves are emitted in a specific band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The division into bands serves to fulfill a wide variety of communication tasks. This includes the transmission of voice, images or very general data. The transmitter uses the current of its power source to provide alternating current according to its bandwidth in the required wavelength. This is the frequency at which the alternating current changes direction per second. The electromagnetic waves or radio waves are radiated outwards as a weak signal via a carrier medium (e.g. the air) via the antenna. A corresponding receiver reverses this process and amplifies the incoming signal in order to be able to process the actual message or data. A transmitter can be a separate device or an electronic circuit in another device.Image: Eltako FSM61-UC wireless transmitter moduleHow is a radio transmitter structured?A radio transmitter requires an energy source that supplies the device with power and the energy for transmission. An electronic oscillator creates the radio waves and a modulator inserts the actual data into the radio wave. It does this through small variations in the properties of the carrier wave. A high-frequency amplifier increases the power of the signal. This increases the range. And finally, an antenna tuner matches the impedance of the transmitter to that of the antenna. This makes the energy transfer to the antenna efficient and prevents what is known as a 'standing wave' (reflection of the energy from the antenna back to the transmitter).How important are radio transmitters in building automation or the electrical installation?You use radio transmitters when there is no power line or bus line at a certain point in your installation. There you position a radio receiver, which receives the signals from the transmitter and takes over the desired tasks. These can be switching actions and control functions or the display of information. Radio transmitters are therefore an alternative when flexible installations are desired. Radio transmitters are also suitable if you want to retrofit existing analogue installations and device controls. Radio transmitters are a simple and inexpensive solution for home automation and are used to increase living comfort.You can get a large selection of radio transmitters in the eibabo® technology storefor flush mounting (radio transmitter modules, universal transmitter)for operation (radio buttons, KNX remote controls, hand-held transmitters)for control (wireless weather stations, multiple wall switches, room temperature controllers, wireless window contacts and other sensors) from all well-known manufacturers. These include top brands such as SOMFY, Rademacher, Warema Sonnen, Eltako, Schalk, Sommer and Jung. You will also receive devices and accessories from Hager, Eberle Controls, Berner Torantriebe and EVN Lichttechnik. We also offer elegant wall transmitters that are suitable for flexible installation on wallpaper, glass, mirrors, tiles or wood. Or you can select immediately functional wireless motion detectors, wireless switches or wireless sets from our range.What is the range of radio transmitters in electrical engineering?The range of radio transmitters can vary greatly. This depends both on the radio technology used and on the environmental conditions. Ranges between 20 meters and one kilometer are usually specified. The specifications in the product information about the maximum range are usually values under optimal conditions. These exist when there is a direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver without obstacles and the area is not affected by interference signals from the same or a neighboring frequency band. Please keep in mind that these conditions rarely apply and the range will therefore be lower in practice. TIP:When installing radio transmitters, allow for a range reserve of 25%. The reserve is not only used to compensate for a lower range due to current obstacles. If further obstacles are added later (e.g. additional walls or growing trees), the devices can still be used.What is an I/O radio module?I/O radio modules are so-called transceivers, a combination of transmitter and receiver. These therefore have signal inputs and signal outputs. This makes it possible to control or monitor systems with just one radio link. In addition to digital interfaces, some models also offer analog inputs for transmitting sensor values and limit values.What do I have to consider when buying radio transmitters?If you want to use radio transmitters, you need additional receivers that pick up the signals, process them and react accordingly. This can be, for example, switching actuators, universal displays or radio-controlled sockets. To ensure that communication between transmitter and receiver works, all components are parameterized using the standardized 'Engineering Tool Software (ETS)'. In this way, each device knows under which conditions it should send or receive commands and how it has to react to changes. The ETS software is available from www.knx.org and is a tool that you need to commission and link KNX devices. Don't worry: programming skills are not required. The ETS is also suitable for laypersons who are interested in the logic of the KNX. Please make sure that your radio transmitter can take over the transmission tasks you want and carry them out correctly. We therefore recommend that you carefully check the parameters and functions for the ETS provided by the manufacturer before purchasing.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Optical and acoustic signalling equipment > Radio transmitter you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Access controlAdjustment toolAwning radio sensorBlind controlBuilt-in transmitterButton inputCall forwardingControl unitExternal controlFour-channel hand-held transmitterInterval transmitterMicrohand transmitterRadio remote controlRadio transmitterRain sensorReed contactRemote controlSecuritySetting aidShutter buttonSingle-channel hand-held transmitterSun protectionTransceiversUniversal transmitterWind automaticWindow contactWireless technologyWireless wall buttonfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Radio transmitter:Berner TorantriebeBusch JaegerEberleEltakoEthermaEVNGiraGlen DimplexGrotheHagerHamaJungNovarPhoenixRademacherSchabusSchalkSchneider ElectricSiemensSomfySommerWAGO
Through terminal - Which feed-through terminals should you use for your control cabinet? Are terminal blocks the same as feed-through blocks? Find out here what the differences are between feed-through terminals and what they are used for. In the eibabo® technology store you can get feed-through terminal blocks from all well-known manufacturers such as ABB, Eaton, Eberle, Hager, Metz, Phoenix, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Spelsberg, TE Connectivity, WAGO, Weidmüller, Wieland and Wöhner at great prices and in large quantities. We deliver our range worldwide.Feed-through terminals fulfill several functions and are among the most important components within a control cabinet. It is mounted on the DIN rail. Feed-through terminals are connecting elements between the incoming cables and lines of an installation and the actual control cabinet installation.What is the difference between feed-through terminals and terminal blocks?Feed-through terminals are terminal blocks. 'Terminal block' is a generic term that also includes other types of terminals. These include, for example, fuse terminals and relay terminals. Other terms describe the way a terminal is constructed or its ability to connect the conductors. In these contexts, one often hears about one-tier terminals, three-tier terminals, spring-loaded terminals, push-in terminals or screw terminals. We would like to briefly discuss some of these types in the following sections.Why are feed-through terminals indispensable components in the control cabinet?Feed-through terminals offer the necessary flexibility in the control cabinet to connect rigid incoming cables and lines to the relevant fuses, actuators or other devices. A direct connection without feed-through terminals does not make sense. A clear installation would not be possible. First, the cables and lines are clearly laid out on the terminal blocks. They then lead them from there to the devices in the control cabinet. As a result, the entire installation remains flexible because there are connection points and nodes for checking and changing the system structure.Image: Phoenix PT 2.5-3L feed-through terminalEach connection that is made takes on a function previously defined in the circuit diagram. The installation of the system and the function of individual connections remains traceable. This makes later additions, repairs and maintenance easier. If you want to make changes, these can be done by reconnecting individual wires. The rigid supply lines remain unaffected.And there are other advantages: For example, you can only connect two wires to many modular installation devices. The feed-through terminal blocks offer further advantages here. An example: A fuse is intended to protect several lines. However, you can only connect the cores of one line. In order to also integrate the other lines, you can create clear bridge connections on the feed-through terminals. The electrician can also carry out insulation measurements and other control work directly on the terminal blocks. Troubleshooting is made much easier and faster.What different feed-through terminals are there?Each manufacturer builds the feed-through terminals slightly differently. However, the principle is the same. There are single-level terminals and multi-level terminals. While you can only connect one line in the single-level terminal, several incoming and outgoing lines can be installed in multi-level terminals. Use a three-tier terminal for a three-wire cable. The is designed for connecting the protective conductor, the L conductor and the N conductor. This arrangement saves an enormous amount of space in the control cabinet. Three-tier terminals are mainly found in the control cabinets of private households and in smart home installations. TIP:On some models, the protective conductor has no connection point for the outgoing line. The protective earth contact is made directly by the clamp connection with the DIN rail. Another feature that distinguishes feed-through terminals is the way the wires are fastened. The screw terminal fixes the respective wire with a screw connection. This method takes a comparatively long time, especially when the plant is complex. A spring-loaded terminal makes electrical contact with a mechanical spring. This consists of a bent, flat copper contact. The wire must be inserted through a hole in the copper contact. This is only possible if the contact is clamped with a pointed tool. When the clamping tool is removed, the spring pulls back and the wire is jammed. The connection is released in the same way. The push-in connection is another fastening variant, similar to the spring-loaded terminal. Here, too, a spring presses against the wire. In contrast to the spring-cage connection, installation is tool-free and therefore even faster. The wire is inserted into the spring shaft of the feed-through terminal and the spring locks automatically. If you want to loosen the connection, you need a pointed tool. A small screwdriver is usually sufficient, which bends the retaining spring to the side and loosens the wire. This method saves a lot of time with cores with solid conductors. Wires with flexible conductors can also be attached using wire end sleeves using this method.Solid and flexible veinsYou can connect cables with solid cores and flexible strands in feed-through terminals. Both variants and combinations are permitted. Flexible cores can easily fan out. The use of ferrules makes handling easier with spring connections.The attachment of the wire using cutting terminals is rather rare. Use this variant if your veins are particularly thin. Here, the contact is made through a small cut in the insulation.Depending on the function and area of application, cables and wires with different cross-sections are used in the electrical installation. This affects the feed-through terminals. Appropriate feed-through terminals are available for all common cable cross-sections. Whether a clamp can be used for a specific cross-section is indicated on the clamp. It is usually possible to bridge the L conductor and the N conductor using several feed-through terminals, sometimes on several levels. Suitable cable bridges are available here in the shop.markLabeling the lines helps with orientation, especially when a new employee or another electrical company takes over the system. Some terminals have labeling fields. We recommend using this option and labeling all devices and connections in a meaningful way.The design of the neutral conductor contact is another distinguishing feature. In addition to models for classic wiring, there are feed-through terminals with which an N busbar can be used. The neutral contact on these terminals is designed accordingly so that the connection can be made with one hand. When using a busbar, you need an additional terminal for feeding. To securely fix the rail, use suitable support blocks or the fastening levers on the end clamps at the beginning and end of the row. Longer rails are additionally fixed every 20 cm. To be able to use cables with five cores, use multi-level terminals to connect the outer conductors.How to use feed-through terminals in the KNX area?In addition to the classic feed-through terminals, you can get special terminal blocks for low-voltage or KNX use. These have a different color and can therefore immediately be distinguished from other terminal blocks. This also contributes to order and clarity in the control cabinet. In terms of function, these terminal blocks hardly differ from conventional terminal blocks. You can connect cables with a cross-section of up to 1.5 mm2 to these terminals.Why are feed-through terminals not closed on one side?The available space in the control cabinet is specified in modular widths (HP). These provide information about the capacity of a control cabinet. Feed-through terminals are not manufactured according to this pitch, but as narrow as possible. The narrower a terminal, the more terminals can be installed on a specific area of the DIN rail. Good to know:Feed-through terminals are not closed on one side. The missing cover saves a little space. In relation to the length of a top-hat rail, more terminals can be mounted. Since feed-through terminals are mounted directly next to each other on the DIN rail, there is no danger of touching the contacts on the open sides. Without a side cover, a terminal is narrower. A cover is only attached to the last terminal in a row.Which installation aids and which accessories are available for feed-through terminal blocks?For the construction of a control cabinet, you receive numerous well thought-out components that simplify your work. For feed-through terminals, for example, the cross-bridges and busbars already mentioned are available. In addition, you will receive separator plates and end plates, covers, feeds or end blocks as well as test plugs, fuses, labeling fields and other components.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Terminal blocks > Feed-through terminal block you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Base clampBolt clampChangeover relayCompartment clampConnecting combsConnection moduleConnection technologyDistribution blockFeed terminalFour-level clampLightning arrowMarshalling boxMini clampMotor connection terminalMotor output terminalMulti-level clampMulti-wire terminalNeutral terminalPotential clampRelay terminalSocketSpring clampsSpring clipSwitching relayTerminal block connectorThermal voltage terminal blockThrough terminalUniversal clampfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Through terminal:ABBEatonEberleHagerMetzPhoenixSchneider ElectricSiemensSpelsbergTE ConnectivityWAGOWeidmüllerWielandWöhner
Multi-level installation terminal - Which multilevel installation terminals are there and what functions do they have in the control cabinet? Are multi-level installation terminals the same as feed-through terminals? What's the difference? How is the assembly done? Here you will find answers to many questions. In the eibabo® technology store you can get multi-level installation terminals from all well-known manufacturers such as ABB, Hager, Phoenix, Siemens, WAGO, Weidmüller and Wieland at top conditions and in large quantities. Delivery is worldwide, fast and safe.Installation multi-level terminals are among the most important components within a control cabinet and fulfill several functions. The terminals represent connecting elements between the incoming cables and lines of an installation and the actual control cabinet installation. The assembly is carried out on the DIN rail.What are installation multi-level terminals?Installation multi-level terminals are multi-pole terminal blocks. The term 'terminal block' not only includes multi-level installation terminals, but also, for example, feed-through terminals, fuse terminals and relay terminals. Surely you have already heard or read about single-level clamps and triple-level clamps. These are other common names for feed-through terminals and tier terminals. When it comes to spring-loaded terminals, push-in terminals or screw terminals, the focus is on the type of wire attachment. But these terminals can also be counted among the multi-level installation terminals. The main feature of the installation multi-level terminals is the potential entries arranged one above the other.What is the difference to a feed-through terminal?The differences between feed-through terminals and multi-level terminals are small and mainly lie in the number and arrangement of the potential entries. A simple feed-through terminal usually only has one potential, while tier terminals can have several potentials. This saves space compared to feed-through terminals, since the feed-through terminals are arranged next to each other as individual terminals. A clear assignment of the different cores is guaranteed by the colored conductor entry openings in multi-level terminal blocks. Tier terminals are therefore more complex feed-through terminals and are often equipped with special functions for building installation, for example with N disconnect terminals, equipotential bonding terminals or distribution feed terminals.How important are multi-level installation terminals for control cabinet construction?With multi-level installation terminals, you achieve enormous flexibility in control cabinet construction. Rigid incoming cables and lines are clearly laid out on the terminals. You thus create flexible connection points to connect the actuators, fuses or other devices in the control cabinet with individual wires. This keeps the entire installation flexible, as there are nodes for testing and changing the entire system. A direct connection without installation multi-level terminals would not be clear and would lead to considerable effort in the event of changes.Image: WAGO 2003-7641 Multi-level installation terminalWith the implementation of a well-structured circuit diagram, each link created in this way takes on a comprehensible function. The installation of the system remains clear. Additions, repairs and maintenance in the future are made easier. Changes to the system are always possible by reconnecting individual wires. The rigid supply lines remain untouched.For a better overviewYou can attach labeling fields to some tier terminals. We recommend using this. Label all devices and connections sensibly. Matching labeling fields are available here in the shop.But this structure offers other advantages. During maintenance work, the electrician can carry out his insulation measurements and other control work directly on the tier terminals. This saves time and money when troubleshooting. For example, many DIN rail mounted devices (REG) only have two contact points for connecting the cables. With the use of installation clamps, you can expand this if necessary. An example: You want to protect several lines with one fuse. Unfortunately, you can only connect the wires from one line directly to the fuse. What can you do? In order to link further lines, establish clear jumper connections on the installation multi-level terminals.How can the cables be attached to the installation multi-level clamps?Each manufacturer builds the multi-level installation terminal blocks slightly differently. However, the principle is the same. While single-level terminals connect only one line as simple feed-through terminals, the installation of several incoming and outgoing lines is possible in multi-level terminals / tier terminals. A three-tier terminal block is designed for the connection of the protective conductor, the N line and the L line. The arrangement in tiers saves a lot of space in the control cabinet. Multi-level terminal blocks are used very frequently, especially in the smaller switch cabinets in private households and in smart home installations. TIP:If a terminal block does not have a connection point for the outgoing protective conductor, snapping it onto the DIN rail ensures 100 percent contact with the protective conductor contact foot. The types of attachment for the cables represent a special distinguishing feature. There are screw terminals, spring-loaded terminals and push-in terminals.With the screw terminal, a screw fixes the respective wire. This method is comparatively time-consuming, especially when dealing with a large system with many connections. Fastening with a screw must be done carefully so as not to damage the solid or flexible cable too much.With the spring-loaded terminal, the electrical contact is made with a mechanical metal spring. The spring is in the form of a curved flat contact with a hole. The wire must be put through the hole to connect. This is only possible if the spring is stretched with a pointed tool. The line will bind as soon as the tool is removed and the spring relaxes. The connection is released in the same way.The push-in connection is a variant of the spring-loaded terminal. Here, too, a spring-loaded metal contact presses against the wire. Installation is tool-free. The wire is inserted into the spring shaft of the multi-level terminal block and the contact is locked directly by the spring force. You need a tool to loosen the connection. Using a small screwdriver, bend the spring contact to the side and the wire will come loose. These connections save a lot of time with cables with solid conductors. Wires with flexible strands can also be fixed using this method, but they should be stabilized with a ferrule.The attachment of the cores using insulation displacement terminals is rare and is only used if your cable is particularly thin. With this method, the conductive contact is made by cutting the wire insulation.Special features of the neutral conductor contactIn addition to models with screw attachment and spring clamps, there are multi-level terminals where you can use an N busbar. With these terminals, the neutral conductor contact is designed in such a way that a busbar can be connected with a flick of the wrist. In this case you need an additional terminal for feeding. To ensure that the rail is held securely, use suitable trestles at the beginning and end of the row. Some clamps also offer mounting levers. Please also fix longer rails every 20 centimetres.Are there different tier terminals for the different cable cross-sections?Cables and lines with different cross-sections are used in electrical installations. This affects the tier terminals. Appropriate terminals are available for all common cable cross-sections. The suitability for certain cross-sections is indicated on the terminals. In addition, there is the option of bridging the N lines and the L lines via several tier terminals, sometimes on several levels. Suitable cable bridges are available here in the shop.Why are multi-level installation terminals open on one side?As you may know, the space available in the control cabinet is specified in modular widths (TE). The specification of the pitch units provides information about the capacity of a control cabinet and helps with the purchase decision. Installation multi-level terminals do not correspond to this grid dimension, but are manufactured as narrow as possible. So the narrower the individual terminal is, the more terminals you can install on a certain area of the DIN rail. Good to know:A pitch unit is 18 millimeters according to DIN 43880:1988-12. The installation width of the devices is 17.5 millimeters (deviation plus 0.5 millimeters) and its multiples. Installation multi-level terminals are typically mounted directly next to each other on the mounting rail. There is therefore no risk of touching the contacts on the open sides. This saves material in production and some space. Without a side cover, a terminal is slightly narrower. Only the last terminal in a row is covered.What are N disconnect terminals?Electrical systems must be checked regularly. The insulation measurement (e.g. between neutral conductor and protective conductor) is an essential part of such a test. As a result, possible insulation faults, which can cause fires and the associated damage to persons or property, are detected at an early stage. To do this, the neutral wire of each circuit must be disconnected. The use of neutral conductor disconnect terminals is therefore necessary in this country in public facilities, workplaces in trade and industry and in fire-endangered premises.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Terminal blocks > Multi level installation terminal block you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Cage clampDouble clampFeed blockFeed-through terminal blockFuse plugGround terminalInsta clampInstallation clampMulti-level clampPhase terminal blockSingle clampSpring clampSpring clipSpring terminalTerminal blockThree-wire terminalTier clampTripod clampUniversal clampfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Multi-level installation terminal:ABBHagerPhoenixSiemensWAGOWeidmüllerWieland
Fuse terminal - Are you looking for high-quality and space-saving fuse terminals for your control cabinet? Are terminal blocks the same as fuse blocks? Here you can find out for which use the different fuse terminals are suitable. In the eibabo® technology store, you can obtain fuse clamps inexpensively and in large quantities from all well-known manufacturers. Shipping is worldwide. Fuse terminals are among the most important components in a control cabinet and have several functions. The terminals are snapped onto the top-hat rail of the control cabinet and form the connection between the distribution level and the installation level.What is the difference between fuse terminals and terminal blocks?The terminal block is a feed-through connection for one or more cables in the control cabinet. Depending on the application, it may be beneficial to protect a pass-through connection with a fuse. Fuse terminals consist of a base that takes on the function of the classic terminal block. A fuse is used in an additional fuse link carrier. The fuses may vary depending on the model and use case. Some variants have permanently installed circuit breakers. A fuse terminal block is therefore a terminal block with a separate fuse.Why are fuse terminals one of the most important components in the control cabinet?A large number of cables and lines arrive in a control cabinet. Depending on the complexity of the system, this can be several hundred pieces. These cables and lines are often very rigid and have a large cross-section. A direct connection to the respective fuses, actuators or other devices would therefore be very difficult. At this point, terminal blocks with and without fuses are used. The cables and lines arriving in the control cabinet are first clearly laid out on the terminals. The individual flexible wires can now be routed from the terminals to the respective devices in the control cabinet. This flexibility offers advantages during installation.Image: Wago 281-611 fuse terminalEach connection now established has a specific function. This function is usually defined in a circuit diagram. Even after the control cabinet has been installed, the individual functions must remain traceable. A good overview of the system should be ensured for later extensions, change requests and maintenance work. If you would like to make changes after a while, these can now be done very easily by changing the individual wires. The handling of the rigid supply lines is therefore no longer necessary.You can only connect two wires to many modular installation devices. Here, too, the clamps play to their advantage. If, for example, you have planned several cables for a modular installation device, you can provide these with clear jumpers on the fuse terminals. Control work and measurements can also be carried out very conveniently directly on the terminals. Relocating lines and troubleshooting are made much easier.The safety clamps in detailFuse clamps can be constructed somewhat differently depending on the manufacturer. It is divided into single-level terminals and multi-level terminals. You can only connect one incoming and one outgoing line in the single-deck terminal. Several lines can be connected in multi-level terminals. For example, use a three-tier terminal for a cable with three wires. In this way you connect the protective conductor as well as the L line and the N line. This saves a lot of space and is mainly used in the private environment and in the smart home area. It is usual for the protective conductor contact to be made directly by the clamp connection with the top-hat rail. Other models have a connection point for a protective conductor.Another distinguishing feature is the different ways of attaching a cable. With a screw terminal, the respective wire is attached to the terminal using a classic screw connection. That's safe, but more time consuming. A spring-loaded terminal makes the electrical contact using a mechanical spring. The spring consists of a bent copper contact with a hole. The contact is clamped with a pointed tool and the conductor can be inserted. If you remove the clamping tool, the spring is relieved and the conductor gets stuck.Good to knowFuse clamps are suitable for fastening solid conductors and flexible strands. Both variants are permitted. The use of ferrules makes handling flexible wires easier, as they do not accidentally fan out.There is usually a pressure point for releasing this clamping connection, which can be pressed with a screwdriver or another narrow object. If you use particularly thin wires, insulation displacement terminals can be used. With these, contact is made through a small cut through the insulation.Cables and wires are selected in different cross-sections depending on their function and area of application. This affects the selection of the appropriate fuse terminal. There are suitable fuse terminals for the common cable cross-sections. Which cross-sections are suitable in each case is indicated directly on the terminal. Fuse terminals typically offer the option of bridging the L conductor and the N conductor using several terminal blocks, sometimes on different levels. The matching cross bridges are also available here in the shop. well thought outSome terminals offer fields for labeling. Use this option to keep track of the installation at all times. In addition, a distinction is made between fuse terminals in the design of the neutral conductor contact. Models marked 'NT' have special contacts for connection to an N busbar. When using a busbar, you need a clamp for the infeed as well as support blocks for secure fixing at the beginning and end of the busbar. When using 5-wire cables, you can also use multi-level terminals to connect the phase conductors.What does push-in connection mean for a fuse terminal block?A distinction is currently made between fuse terminals with three connection variants. These are the screw connection, the spring-cage connection and the push-in connection. Which connection variant you choose depends on the area of application, the costs and the expected time savings during installation. The push-in connection is the latest of these three variants. This is similar to the tension spring connection. As with the tension spring, a spring presses against the insulated conductor. The connection is therefore vibration-proof and maintenance-free. In contrast to the tension spring connection, the advantage is the tool-free installation. The wire is simply inserted into the terminal and a spring automatically locks. A standard screwdriver is sufficient to loosen the connection. This means that wiring can be carried out in a significantly shorter time. This applies in particular to cores with solid conductors. Wires with flexible conductors can also be fixed with this method using wire end sleeves. TIP:Please use square crimped ferrules for this. These offer more surface area for the spring to open. Front crimping pliers with square crimping are particularly suitable for working in hard-to-reach places and tight spaces. Small gauge conductors may not be strong enough to open the spring. Here the support of the spring opening with a screwdriver is necessary.Are there other accessories for fuse terminals?Additional accessories are available for most fuse terminals. These include the cross-bridges and busbars already mentioned, test plugs, fuses, separator plates, end plates, feeds or end blocks.Why are fuse terminals open on one side?The available space in the control cabinet is specified in modular widths (HP). These provide information about the capacity of a control cabinet. Fuse clamps are not manufactured according to this grid dimension, but as narrow as possible. The narrower a terminal, the more terminals can be installed on a specific area of the DIN rail. Since fuse terminals are typically mounted directly next to each other on the DIN rail, there is no risk of touching the contacts on the open sides. Without a side cover, a terminal is narrower. A cover is only attached to the last terminal in a row.Are there fuse terminals with a defect indicator?Some models show defects. For example, some fuse terminals have an integrated LED, which is powered by the current present. If there is a defect, the LED does not light up and the installer can quickly localize the problem.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Terminal blocks > Fuse terminal block you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:AC circuit breakerActive power meterBlade fuse terminalConnection clampControl circuit breakerDevice circuit breakerDirect current machineElectricity meterEnergy meterFour-wire meterFuse clipFuse terminal blockGlass fuse clipGround terminalGuard clampMulti-level clampPlug-in circuit breakerProtective terminal blockReactive power meterScrew cap clampSpring clipSpring terminalTerminal blockTerminal blocksTerminal stripThree-phase meterTransducer counterTransfer blocksfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Fuse terminal:HagerPhoenixSiemensWAGOWeidmüllerWieland
