ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • 15 Phoenix Contact Compact T-distributors for simple power distribution T he QPD installation system from Phoenix Contact enables you to connect cables quickly and easily. The 4-pos. T-distributors up to 2.5 mm² are new. They allow a flexible branch line to be created for consumers in the power distribution system. The T-distributors are reliable thanks to robust housings with IP66, IP 69 (2 m, 24 h) and IP69K degrees of protection. The electronics are thoroughly protected as the housings do not need to be opened, even when connecting the power supply. Assembly is done via IDC (insulation displacement connection) without special tools, which saves 80 percent of time. Furthermore, the product range for the installation system includes panel feed-throughs, cable ties, connectors and H-distributors. Multi-level terminal blocks for building installation save space T he installation terminal blocks from Phoenix Contact impress by their low and compact design. Using them, building installations can be set up in a quick and space-saving way. The new UTI 6 multi-level terminal blocks are suitable for conductors up to 10 mm². Double function shafts on each level ensure a time-saving three- phase distribution in the terminal strip. Every terminal point can be clearly marked and seen in every terminal block mounting position. All neutral conductor disconnect terminal blocks are fitted with a robust, screwless disconnect slide for easy and secure N disconnection. It latches in the end positions. The UTI installation terminal blocks with screw connection are compatible with the installation system of Phoenix Contact and have the same system features as the Clipline complete terminal block system.
