IMPORTANT: When connecting conductors:
Strip the wire so that the insulation covers the wire up to the terminal.
Make sure that all wires are connected to the correct terminals.
8.1 P04 bar for solid or stranded wire 16-10 AWG
One or two conductors can be terminated as shown. When connecting two conductors
under the same terminal, it is mandatory that both conductors be identical. They must
both be solid or stranded, and must be the same size and type. It is important to torque
all terminal screws, including unused ones to 18 lb-in.
8.2 Jumpers on terminals
It is good practice to allow only one conductor on either side of the terminal. Should more
termination points be required the terminals need to be jumpered with appropriate
jumpers from the same manufacturer as the terminals. Jumper connections are inserted
into the center recessed areas of the appropriate terminal blocks and fastened to the
current bar.
Partitions provide visual separation between groups of terminal blocks in an assembly.
Partitions are also required to provide electrical separation between adjacent jumper
connections. An end plate can also be used to provide the electrical separation at
jumper connections.
End Plates. The open side of each terminal block must be completely covered by an
end plate or a partition.
8.3 Closing the enclosure cover
Before closing the cover, ensure that:
The cover, gasket and mating surface is clear of debris.
The cover is oriented correctly.
Place the cover on the enclosure and then tighten all screws to 40 lb-in (4.5 Nm) torque.
