Simplifying potential equalisation over distance with Weidmuller’s new terminal blocks. Weidmüller has launched its new JB 25–50 and EBB 25–50/16 potential equalisation blocks for decentralised potential equalisation. These allow a ring line of 25 mm2 to 50 mm² to be installed, which merges all the potentials present in production lines. Branch lines of 16 mm² can be produced from the ring line.
The easy-to-install terminal blocks reliably equalise differences in potential. In production lines, three-part lightning conductor terminals are usually used but assembly can take a great deal of time of effort. The new potential can be installed with ease and are a low-cost solution for reliably equalising potential, for example in the automotive industry, with its long production lines.
The potential equalisation blocks prevent undefined currents, which may cause errors and faults. Compared with star wiring, the decentralised potential equalisation offers huge potential savings. It doesn’t require long conductor lengths to be routed from the individual field components to the busbar, just short branch lines to the terminal block on the ring line.
Features and benefits:
Less space is taken up in the cable conduit (height of just 24mm to leave space for data and power lines)
Wiring times are reduced considerably
Ergonomic design and a clever construction
Quick, inexpensive installation in the assembly duct with ease
Use of light coloured screws stand out clearly in dark environments
