Terminal Blocks - Barrier Blocks

T38412-22-0 terminal blocks are mainly used in electrical safety applications. This terminal block serves as an effective electrical protection barrier to help reduce the possibility of an arc flash and electric shock hazard. The T38412-22-0 is a UL listed device and is designed for multi-conductor power control, distribution, and signal connections. Designed to meet both UL and CSA safety approvals, these product offerings reduce costly wiring time, eliminate wasted components, and minimize field disputes.

Application Field

The variety of applications for T38412-22-0 terminal blocks span the wide range of industries from heavy production processes to public creations like airports and bus and train facilities. The uses for these terminal blocks are found in applications where an electrical connection is needed between two components. Some of these applications include, but are not limited to, the control of conveyors, motor washers, tanks, pipes, cooling towers, and valves. These applications require both the reliable electrical isolation and high current ratings of the T38412-22-0.

Working Principle

The T38412-22-0 incorporates a variety of mechanisms to ensure safe operation. The rugged construction and solid one-piece design provide the high current rating of the device. Depending on the application, the terminals can accept either one screw or stranded wire with a variety of insulation varieties. In addition, the terminals can be configured as either a single or multi-circuit unit with the addition of a pluggable spacer block.

The mechanism used for the T38412-22-0 is a barrier block design. This barrier blocks the flow of current from one terminal to the other which increases safety and prevents cross-wiring. The barrier also allows for a secure locking mechanism and rapid connection of the terminals. This allows for reliable and worry-free use in harsh environments as the locks are field-adjustable and can be tested to ensure the connection is sufficiently sealed. This helps prevent vibration or thermal expansion from loosening the connection.

Conclusion

T38412-22-0 terminal blocks are versatile, solid, and durable products for a multitude of applications that require reliable electrical isolation and high current rating. Ideal applications for these devices include, but are not limited to, the control of conveyors, motor washers, tanks, pipes, cooling towers, and valves. The benefit of the T38412-22-0 terminal block is the one piece design and the barrier feature, which allows for safe operation as the current flow is blocked from one terminal to the other. Additionally, the locks on the terminal block are adjustable and can be tested to ensure the connection is sufficiently sealed, granting further peace of mind. The T38412-22-0 terminal block is a UL listed device and is designed for multi-conductor power control, distribution, and signal connections.
