Termate offers free samples of shielded neutral links

(10/09/2009)

With Termate's new Shielded Neutral Links, making provision for the safe and convenient disconnection of neutral conductors in switchboards and power distribution installations – as required by the IEE Wiring Regulations and other safety-oriented standards – is a straightforward task.

Confident that once they have had the opportunity to examine one of its new shielded neutral links potential users will readily appreciate the safety and convenience benefits it provides, Termate is offering a limited quantity of samples, free of charge, to readers who contact Mark Guest on 0115 9784652. The sample links are rated at 125 A, and are supplied complete with an insulating shroud.

Fully tested in line with both IEC 60439 and IEC 61439, Termate’s competitively priced Neutral Links are designed for fast, easy installation and, with safety in mind, they are offered with an optional insulating shroud that provides IP2X protection against accidental direct or indirect contact. The shroud can be easily adapted to allow disconnection and reconnection of the neutral conductor while it remains in place.

Termate’s new Neutral Links completely eliminate the need for fabricated makeshift solutions for neutral conductor disconnection in power installations, and are available in six sizes from 125 A to 1,000 A. They incorporate a sliding link that allows positive and easily visible disconnection of the neutral conductor, and feature bolted terminations that will accommodate cable lugs or direct connections to copper busbars.

All types have a working voltage of 660 V and a rated insulation voltage of 690 V. They are fully rated thermally and have an impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV, making them suitable for use in even the most demanding of applications. Type test certificates that are suitable for incorporation in equipment construction files and for other similar purposes are available on request.

Termate Shielded Neutral Links with ratings up to 250 A and their associated shrouds are supplied in boxes of ten, while the 400 A and 630 A products are offered in boxes of five. Larger units in the range and their shrouds are sold individually.
