Conductor cross-sections for screw-type connection systems 
Conductor cross-sections for screw-type connection systems 
The following tables define the permissible conductor cross-sections for main terminals and 
auxiliary conductor connections in sizes S00, S0 and S2 for screw-type connection systems. 
 
 
If two different conductor cross-sections are connected to one clamping point, both cross-
sections must be located in the range specified.
