The new generation of patented measuring transducer disconnect terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact is distinguished by its compact construction and its ease and safety of use. The terminal blocks are available in UTME screw, STME spring cage, and DTME push-in connection technology with a cable connection capacity of up to 10 mm².
The lengthwise circuit breaker is contacted and securely fixed in the appropriate switching mode. Printed switching symbols make the setup easier to understand. The optional switching lock is effective at preventing accidental switching. The universal, triple bridge shafts on both sides of the lengthwise circuit breaker allow individual use of the bridges, as well as of testing and switching accessories. The plug-in bridges allow current converter short circuits to be implemented quickly and safely. Two-pin and four-pin screw switching bridges fixed to the bridge shaft are provided to enable easy converter short circuits.
Feed-through and especially PE terminal blocks of the same shape complete the product line. Together with standard plug-in bridges from the Clipline terminal block system, they enable star point formation directly in the terminal strip.
