Barrier blocks form a part of a group of commonly used electrical terminal blocks known as spring clamp terminal blocks. These are designed to provide secure connections and easier maintenance and reconfiguration of electrical circuits. Also known as spring clamps, these terminal blocks allow easy interchange of wires into different electrical circuits and can be used to connect high voltage, low voltage, and high current applications. Spring clamps feature spring-loaded terminals that open automatically when releasing a lever, allowing the user to simply insert the wire into the contact area and then close the lever by compressing the terminals. This makes the maintenance, repairing, and reconfiguring of electrical circuits easy and efficient.

The 2011-ST application field and working principle of barrier blocks involves the use of a two-pole terminal block to create a single Barrier Block. This terminal block is then installed in between the load and the power supply and then connected to the main circuit by means of electrical wires. The wire is then connected to the Barrier Block, which acts as a switch of sorts. It has two poles, the first one being used to switch the load directly to the ground and the second being used to switch the power supply directly to the load. The Barrier Block then has an in-built switch on the bottom side, which can be used to lock the two poles and prevent accidental switching. When the switch is in the open position, the load is connected directly to the ground and the power supply connected to the load.

Barrier blocks are also known as terminal strips and are typically used in high voltage installations and applications where the wires and terminals need to be connected multiple times. The Barrier Block is then placed between the power supply and the load and connected to the main circuit by means of wire connections. The two poles on the Barrier Block are used to connect the load directly to the power supply, thereby providing a reliable and secure connection. Additionally, the in-built switch on the bottom side of the Barrier Block can be used to prevent unintentional disconnection of wires and terminals.

The 2011-ST application field and working principle of barrier blocks is also useful in applications where power is transferred from one power source to another. In this case, the Barrier Block can be used to create a continuous connection between the power sources so the electrical energy can flow from one source to another. This is beneficial in applications such as transfer switches, where power from one generator is transferred to another generator in the event of a power outage.

Barrier blocks are cost effective, simple, and reliable pieces of equipment and can be used in many different industrial and commercial applications. Their ease of use, maintenance and configurability make them the ideal choice for all sorts of different applications and tasks.
