Rail-mounting universal supply saves panel space
Only 22.5mm wide, the new rail-mounting Mini-PS power supply from Phoenix Contact offers big savings in valuable panel space.
As the connectors use Phoenix Contact's innovative Quickon insulation-displacement technology, the main distribution cable does not need to be cut during installation, which saves time and money, while ensuring that the integrity of the ring circuit is maintained.
Equally, no stripping, other than the removal of the outer sheath, is required for connection of the branch circuit cable.
Featuring rugged construction, which allows them to be mounted directly onto any walls, trunking covers and similar surfaces, the new T distributors have an IP54 protection rating, which means that, in standard commercial and industrial applications, they can be installed without using terminal boxes or other forms of additional protection.
Phoenix Contact's Quickon T distributors are designed for use with cables of between 2.5 and 4.0mm2 cross-sectional area.
The units have a nominal current rating of 32A, and can be used in systems operating at up to 600V.
A category III surge voltage rating means that the units are suitable for use in building installations of all kinds. Request a free brochure from Phoenix Contact ...
