Electrical Terminations

Post terminals

(B)
Terminal box (G)
Stainless steel braided leads (E)
Armor cable (H)
European style straight plug (K00)
European style 90° plug (K90)

 

G Style - Terminal box: A practical way to protect screw terminals from damage and exposure.

H Style - Straight armor cable: Provides protection against abrasion and contamination

K90 Style - European connector: Used when there is not enough clearance above a heater to use the K00 style European connectorSelection tips
  • The current amperage limitation for lead wire exiting directly from a heater is 10 amps.
  • For Higher than 10 amp applications, lead wires should be combined with a terminal box.
  • European plugs are adequate for 16 amps.
  • To have a balanced internal winding, it is recommended to locate the terminals at 180° with respect to the gap.
  • Ceramic covers could be added to provide safety to exposed terminals.

B Style - Post terminals: The most commonly used termination style. Recommended for high amperage applications

E Style - Stainless steel braid: Highly flexible. Protects the lead wire from abrasion

K00 Style - European connector: Ideal termination style when the power leads are frequently removed from the heater. An easy electrical connection when the heater fails.
