Terminal Blocks

Elmex Controls Pvt Ltd has added a disconnect type of Terminal Block – OAT 6T, to its OAT series of terminal blocks. The company has a wide range of test disconnect terminal blocks for applications in areas such as CT secondary wiring, relay panels, SCADA applications, etc. OAT 6T is suitable for conductor size from 0.5 to 6 sq mm and it employs disconnect operation by means of a sliding link. Construction features of OAT 6T are same as those of OAT 2.5 and OAT 6 with an additional feature of disconnect facility. OAT series of terminal blocks are provided with hinged covers within which nuts remain captive. When the covers are opened up carrying the captive nuts, the threaded bolts of the terminals are ready to receive the conductor prepared using ring/fork type lugs crimped with the conductor. When the covers are closed, the captive nut positions itself on the threaded bolt. The nuts are then tightened up, with a screwdriver to establish the connection. The covers fully shroud the live metal parts as well as the insulated lug in the conductor clamping area, thus ensuring safety against electric shock hazard. As described above, since the nuts are captive in the hinged covers, (i.e., no need to open them up), this type of construction facilities quick and convenient way of making connections.
