30、t Protective conductor terminal blocks for copper conductors 1 General 1.1 Scope This part of IEC 60947 specifies requirements for protective conductor terminal blocks with PE function up to 120 mm2(250 kcmil) and for protective conductor terminal blocks with PEN function equal to and above 10 mm2(A
31、WG 8) with screw-type or screwless-type clamping units, primarily intended for industrial applications. NOTE AWG is the abbreviation of “American Wire Gage” Gage (US) = Gauge (UK) kcmil = 1 000 cmil 1 cmil = 1 circular mil = surface of a circle having a diameter of 1 mil 1 mil = 1/1 000 inch Protect
32、ive conductor terminal blocks are used to form the electrical and mechanical connection between copper conductors and the fixing support. lt is applicable to protective conductor terminal blocks for the connection of round copper conductors with or without special preparation having a cross-section
33、between 0,2 mm2and 120 mm2(AWG 24 and 250 kcmil), intended to be used in circuits of a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. up to 1 000 Hz or 1 500 V d.c., most commonly in conjunction with terminal blocks according to IEC 60947-7-1. This standard may be used as guide for protective conductor te
34、rminal blocks requiring the fixing of special devices to the conductors, for example quick connect terminations or wrapped connections, etc.; protective conductor terminal blocks providing direct contact to the conductors by means of edges or points penetrating the insulation, for example insulation
35、 displacement connections, etc. Where applicable in this standard, the term “clamping unit” has been used instead of the term “terminal”. This is taken into account in case of reference to IEC 60947-1. 1.2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application
36、of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

40、example, mounting rails, sheet metal cut-outs, mounting plates, etc. NOTE 2 A protective conductor terminal block can be either partially insulated or not at all. lt does not require any functional insulation. 2.2 partially insulated protective conductor terminal block device which is only insulated
41、 against live parts of other devices but not against the support itself 2.3 PEN conductor earthed conductor combining the functions of both protective conductor and neutral conductor NOTE The acronym PEN results from the combination of both symbols PE for the protective conductor and N for the neutr
