Introduction

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks, like the one numbered 0387007325, are used to connect two or more electrical circuits, ensure the integrity of those circuits and provide insulation. In industrial applications, terminal blocks are used to connect large machines, production lines and other electrical systems.

Application Field

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks come in a range of sizes and types, designed for specific applications. These may include 10A or even higher current ratings, right up to 800V and even up to 50A earth wire connection. They are also designed for certain types of applications, such as industrial control, machine control, heavy machinery control, distribution boards, lighting and building automation systems. In many applications, Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks are designed to be used with a protector, such as a Spike Protection Device or a Surge Protection Device to protect the system from voltage spikes. They are also designed for use in hazardous areas, and can be used with intrinsically safe devices.

Working Principle

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks consist of two parts: the first part is an insulated screw-in connector which connects the power source, the second part is a cable connector which attaches to the electrical circuit. The two parts are connected by means of a stud bolt and locking of the cable into the connector. The locking action forces the contact surface of the screw-in connector to mesh securely with the detector cable. This arrangement ensures that the electrical connection is made securely and is maintained even under constant strain. The connection between the two parts is then electrically insulated, so that the power source is safely isolated from the electrical circuit.

Conclusion

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks are used to connect two or more electrical circuits, ensure the integrity of those circuits and provide insulation. They come in a range of sizes and types, designed for specific applications. They are also designed for certain types of applications, such as industrial control, machine control, heavy machinery control, distribution boards, lighting and building automation systems. The two parts of the terminals blocks are connected by means of a stud bolt and are then electrically insulated so that the power source is safely isolated from the electrical circuit.
