35、EC:2009 LOW-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROLGEAR Part 7-1: Ancillary equipment Terminal blocks for copper conductors 1 General 1.1 Scope This part of IEC 60947 specifies requirements for terminal blocks with screw-type or screw-less-type clamping units primarily intended for industrial or similar use
36、and to be fixed to a support to provide electrical and mechanical connection between copper conductors. lt applies to terminal blocks intended to connect round copper conductors, with or without special preparation, having a cross-section between 0,2 mm2and 300 mm2(AWG 24/600 kcmil), intended to be
37、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. 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 This standard m
38、ay be used as a guide for terminal blocks requiring the fixing of special devices to the conductors, for example quick connect terminations or wrapped connections, etc.; terminal blocks providing direct contact to the conductors by means of edges or points penetrating the insulation, for example ins
39、ulation displacement connections, etc.; special types of terminal blocks, for example with diodes or varistors or similar component holders, 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
40、to IEC 60947-1. 1.2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
