Hager KJ10Z release handle for meter socket terminal content_copy

The Hager KJ10Z is a release handle, specifically designed for the universZ 63 A meter socket terminal in a 3-phase system (3~). It serves as a mounting aid for meter pins and enables a secure and efficient installation in meter enclosures. The product is part of the Hager product family for meter socket terminals and supports the correct fastening of meter pins, ensuring a stable electrical connection. The use of the release handle reduces mechanical stress when inserting meter pins and facilitates installation in metering systems according to DIN VDE 0603/1 and DIN 43 870.

Applications

The KJ10Z is used in meter enclosures, particularly during the installation of meter socket terminals with a rated current of 63 A in a three-phase system. It is intended for mounting meter pins that are inserted into meter socket terminals and supports correct alignment and fastening. The application is in electrical distribution systems executed in accordance with VDE-AR-N 4100:2019-04, especially in residential and commercial buildings with a maximum current of 63 A. The mounting aid is compatible with meter socket terminals designed for electronic household meters (eHZ) or meters with 3-point mounting (3HZ).

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The release handle KJ10Z is designed as a universal aid for meter pin mounting. It enables precise and secure insertion of meter pins into the socket terminal, minimizing the risk of incorrect installation or mechanical damage. The construction is tailored to the specific dimensions of the 63 A meter socket terminal and ensures an optimal fit. The mounting aid is directly attached to the socket terminal and serves as a guide for the meter pins.

Technology Explained Simply

The KJ10Z consists of a robust plastic housing in black (RAL 9011), designed for use in electrical distribution systems. The dimensions are 108 mm width, 26 mm height, and 69 mm depth, enabling compact and space-saving integration into meter enclosures. The material is halogen-free and complies with the requirements of the REACh-SVHC regulation and the RoHS directive, emphasizing the environmental compatibility and safety of the product. The black color (RAL 9011) ensures visual harmony with other components in the meter enclosure.

Compatibility and Accessories

The release handle KJ10Z is specifically designed for the universZ 63 A meter socket terminal and is used in combination with it. Suitable accessories include the meter socket terminal KJ30S (63 A, 3-phase, AC, lockable) and the cover KJ05Z, which is sealable and suitable for all KJ30 socket terminals. These components complement the mounting and security functions in the meter enclosure and support compliance with standards and regulations.

Mounting and Installation

The installation of the KJ10Z is carried out directly on the meter socket terminal, where the mounting aid serves as a guide for the meter pins. The installation is tool-free and is part of the standard mounting process for meter socket terminals. The use of the release handle is particularly advantageous when mounting meter pins in tight or hard-to-reach areas, as it increases the precision and safety of the connection.

Operational Advantages

The use of the KJ10Z improves mounting accuracy and reduces installation time when installing meter pins. The mechanical relief provided by the release handle extends the service life of the socket terminal and prevents damage caused by excessive pressure. Compatibility with standards DIN VDE 0603/1 and DIN 43 870, as well as compliance with environmental standards (RoHS, REACh-SVHC), ensures reliability and safety in operation. The clear color coding (black, RAL 9011) supports visual clarity in the meter enclosure.
