KU12-WC-MT

Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks are crucial components of any control system. The KU12-WC-MT model belongs to this sub-category of a terminal block, and is often used for a variety of applications. This article will address the applications and working principles of the KU12-WC-MT model.

Applications

The KU12-WC-MT model is typically used for secure field disconnection in hazardous or extreme environments. The product is well known for its superior shock and vibration endurance, high contact reliability, lightweightedness and sealed construction. It is a reliable and cost effective solution for disconnecting power in industrial automation, process control, electronics, datacom, telecom, and/or transportation applications.

It can also be used as a means of disconnecting a wire from a busbar, or any other low voltage application that requires reliable and quick connection, such as electrical wiring. Furthermore, it is often used in automated systems that utilize mechanical actuators for movement, and requires a quick and simple disconnect and reconnection to the motor or actuator. Examples include conveyor systems, robotic arms, and automated cranes.

Working Principle

The KU12-WC-MT model is designed for the powering of terminals from a distance. It uses a single-wire connection with a spring-loaded lever, which makes the device simple to use, and easy to install. The device has a built-in interlock, which prevents contact degradation over time. This is achieved by preventing contact oxidation and arc-over.

The KU12-WC-MT model is made up of several components that work in tandem. The electrical connection is made by a contact block which is then connected to a strain relief device. This is necessary as it helps reduce the tension on the wire when connections are being made or disconnected. The unit also includes a ground terminal which helps to ensure maximum safety while using the terminal block.

The device works by using a single-wire connection with a lever. The lever is used to connect and disconnect the terminals, and it is spring-loaded, making the process easier. Once the lever is lifted, the connection is made, and the power is transferred to the terminals. To disconnect, the lever simply needs to be pushed down, which breaks the connection.

In addition, the KU12-WC-MT model comes with a built-in thermal protection system. This system helps to ensure the longevity and safety of the device by protecting it against overheating due to excessive current. The protection system also helps ensure that the device is not overloaded, which may cause it to fail.

The KU12-WC-MT model is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a range of applications where disconnection is required. The product is well known for its superior shock and vibration endurance, high contact reliability, light weight, and sealed construction. It is also simple to use, and easy to install.
