Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

Barrier blocks, such as the 6WWV-20-008 model, are an essential part of all electrical installations, helping to simplify and secure the wiring layout, whilse also providing a safe and reliable connection. Terminal blocks are the devices used to connect current carrying and controlling wires together and also to the electrical appliances. Barrier blocks make it easier to manage the cables, keeping them organised and preventing tangling, protecting them from moisture, dust and short circuits.

Application Field

Barrier blocks are used to join electrical circuits of various voltage levels, and are particularly suited to the connection of several wires of different gauges. The 6WWV-20-008 model is designed for use in the machine building, automotive and other industries, and is particularly helpful when there are different voltage levels in the circuit, as it can provide separation and insulation. It is also very durable, with a robust design and vibration and heat resistance.

Working Principle

Barrier blocks work by separating the current carrying wires from the control wires, so that the same potential is applied to all current carrying wires. This allows the operator to set up the system using a single point of entry, reducing the effort and time required for setting up the system. It also prevents unwanted interference between the two types of wires, and can help to improve system performance and reduce energy costs.

The 6WWV-20-008 barrier block works by inserting the incoming wires into the entry hole, and then clamping the block tight to secure them in place. This ensures secure electrical connections that can be easily removed, and the specialised construction of the barrier blocks allows for a tight grip and can accommodate different wire sizes. The barrier blocks also come with a nameplate that helps to identify the different wires and make wiring even easier.

Conclusion

Barrier blocks, such as the 6WWV-20-008 model, are an important part of electrical systems, helping to provide secure and reliable connections. They work by separating the control and current carrying wires, allowing for a safe and efficient connection and preventing interference between the two types of wires. The 6WWV-20-008 model is particularly suitable for use in the machine building, automotive and other industries, thanks to its robust design and vibration and heat resistance.
