IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION:
The powerCON system is certified as connector without breaking capacity according IEC 61984 / VDE 0627.
In this standard the term connector (without breaking capacity) refers to components which in normal use are not to
be engaged or disengaged when under load or live.
Connector Combination & Keyways:
With the two non-interchangeable types of connectors (A type and B type) it is impossible to produce a short circuit.
Mating connectors (combination) are identified by mechanical keyways and by color.
