The WAGO 284-607 is a 2-conductor protective earth terminal block, specifically designed for use in industrial electrical installations. It enables secure and reliable connection of protective earth conductors with a cross-section of 0.2 to 10 mm². The terminal block is finished in green-yellow, corresponding to the international identification for protective earth conductors. It features side labeling slots that allow for clear identification of connected conductors. The terminal block is designed for mounting on support rails with dimensions 35 x 15 mm and 35 x 7.5 mm, ensuring universal use in various enclosures and distributions.
Applications
This terminal block is suitable for use in enclosures, distributions, and other electrical installations where a secure and durable connection of protective earth conductors is required. It is commonly used in industrial electrical engineering, machine construction installations, and building automation, where high reliability and ease of maintenance are required. The use of green-yellow marked terminal blocks supports compliance with VDE and DIN standards for electrical safety.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The terminal block operates on the CAGE CLAMP® principle, where the conductor is securely clamped by a special clamp without requiring an additional screw or special tool. This enables quick and secure installation. The side labeling slots allow the insertion of labeling plates to clearly identify the function or assignment of the conductors. The terminal block is designed for conductor cross-sections from 0.2 to 10 mm², covering a wide range of applications, from small control conductors to larger protective earth conductors in high-performance systems.
Technology Explained Simply
The CAGE CLAMP® system ensures that the conductor is held by an elastic clamp that automatically adapts to the conductor’s cross-section. This prevents loosening of the connection due to vibrations or thermal stress. The green-yellow color coding is required by international standards (e.g. DIN VDE 0100) for protective earth conductors to ensure clear identification. The side labeling slots are designed to be compatible with standard labeling systems such as the WMB system, simplifying documentation and maintenance of the installation.
Compatibility and Accessories
The terminal block is suitable for support rails with dimensions 35 x 15 mm and 35 x 7.5 mm, ensuring high compatibility with common enclosure and distribution systems. As accessories, various labeling systems are available, including unprinted WMB multilabels in different colors (e.g. white, red, blue, orange, violet, light green) and inline labels in various sizes. Additionally, partition panels (e.g. 284-327, 284-337) and support rails (e.g. 210-505, 210-113, 210-115, 210-508) can be used to optimize installation. Wire end ferrules (e.g. 216-266, 216-267), test adapters (e.g. 209-170), and actuation tools (e.g. 210-721) complement the system and support installation and maintenance.
Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by simply snapping the terminal block onto the support rail. Connection of conductors is achieved by inserting the conductor into the clamp and then tightening it with an appropriate tool, such as the actuation tool 210-721. After mounting, the side labeling slots can be filled with labeling plates to clearly identify the conductors. The terminal block is designed for use in enclosed enclosures, where environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) must meet the requirements of the specific application.
Operational Advantages
The terminal block offers high mechanical stability and electrical reliability, even under dynamic loads. The CAGE CLAMP® technology ensures a durable connection without wear from frequent tightening. The green-yellow identification supports compliance with safety regulations and simplifies maintenance. The side labeling slots allow for clear and permanent identification, accelerating fault diagnosis and maintenance. Compatibility with various support rails and accessories increases flexibility in planning and installing electrical systems.
