Space-saving wiring up to 10 mm² Wire conductors up to 10 mm² in a confined space with the new UT 6-3L three-level terminal block.Thanks to the function shaft on each level, up to three potentials can be distributed in one terminal housing. The conductors are connected using the maintenance-free screw connection principle from Phoenix Contact . All terminal points can be marked individually, thereby ensuring very clear arrangement of the wired terminal strip. Power ratings of up to 1 000V and 50 A can be wired with the new three-level terminal block. Since this terminal block also has all the system features of the CLIPLINE complete terminal block system, standard sys- tem accessories can be used. This reduces the logistics costs for the user.
