Distribution Blocks and Terminals: The Foundation of a Safe Installation
Ensuring Order and Safety in the Switchgear
At the heart of every modern electrical installation – be it in industry, automation, or residential construction – lies the switchgear. Its proper functioning depends on many elements, and distribution blocks and terminals constitute one of the most important pillars. Their main task is not only to ensure the effective distribution of electrical energy but, above all, to maintain order in the wiring and maximize the safety of use. They enable safe and precise connection of conductors powered from a single source, eliminating the need to connect several cables under one screw terminal, which is a potential source of failure.
Structure and Types of Distribution Blocks
A distribution block is a modular electrical accessory that consists of insulators, conductors (busbars), and terminals. They are most often mounted on a DIN rail (TH35) or on a mounting plate, which facilitates installation, servicing, and possible expansion. Depending on the needs and specifics of the installation, several types of blocks are distinguished:
- Modular blocks – multi-pole, dedicated mainly for mounting on a DIN rail, ideal for expanded systems.
- Compact blocks – most often single-pole, used for connecting conductors of different diameters.
- Feed-through blocks – allowing the connection of copper and aluminum conductors in one place.
They are available in various configurations, e.g., 1-pole, 4-pole, or dedicated N + PE (neutral and protective) strips, which ensure a reliable and separate grounding connection.
Terminals: Screw vs. Spring (Push-in) Connections
The method of fastening conductors in distribution blocks and terminal strips is crucial for durability and speed of assembly. Two basic types of terminals are most commonly used:
- Screw terminals (e.g., V-clamp type): They provide a high contact pressure, which translates into safety and low voltage drop. They require the tightening of a clamping screw, which ensures great connection durability. However, they are more time-consuming to install and require periodic checking for tightening, as the screw connection may loosen.
- Spring terminals (e.g., Push-in): Considered a future-proof solution due to a significant reduction in working time (up to 60-80%). The spring presses the conductor with the same force throughout the entire operation, which makes them resistant to vibrations and the problem of loosening. In the case of Push-in technology, installation is very quick and does not require the use of specialized tools, which is an advantage in control cabinets and domestic switchgear.
Key Advantages of Using Blocks and Terminals
Investing in high-quality distribution blocks and appropriate terminals brings tangible benefits:
- Installation organization: Elimination of tangled wires and aesthetic execution of the switchgear, which facilitates maintenance and possible expansions.
- Greater safety: Protection against accidental contact with live elements thanks to protective covers and the elimination of weak points (such as multiple terminals under one screw or wire ferrules as a source of failure).
- Ease of diagnostics: Organized wire infrastructure means that any faults are detected and removed more quickly.
- Modularity and flexibility: The ability to adapt to different conductor cross-sections and ease of expansion.
The correct selection of the distribution block, taking into account the current carrying capacity and the number of terminals, is crucial for the reliable and long-term operation of the entire electrical installation. Appropriate accessories guarantee the highest standards of safety and efficiency.
