Power feed-in

In control cabinets, a growing number of components have to be accommodated in a very confined space. As a result, the connection of conductors for power feed-in is becoming more and more demanding – especially with large cross-sections. Our wide range of connection solutions enables convenient wiring even under difficult environmental conditions. The compact design and a combination of many practical details for convenient handling make power feed-in in switchgear and control panels simple, efficient, and space-saving.

For fast and safe wiring of big cross-section

In the context of industrial manufacturing, efficient switchgear cabinet construction is of utmost interest to the plant operator. Constant change and numerous international standards increase the demands on the switchgear and its components. In power supply and distribution, large conductor cross-sections are safely laid and connected to the components under harsh conditions and in the tightest of spaces. Our wide range of connection solutions enables convenient wiring even under difficult environmental conditions. Thanks to the compact design and the combination of many practical handling advantages, you realize the supply of power in switchgear and cabinets easily, efficiently and in a space-saving manner.

Power Distribution

Many applications require a high technological density in a confined space. In addition, copper cables are frequently replaced by low-cost aluminium, which requires connection types that match each other. WPD power feed terminals enable the simple and safe connection of aluminium and copper conductors in the smallest space – either directly or on top-hat rails. Due to the good ergonomics, even large cross-sections can be connected effortlessly. Even different cross-sections can be connected easily. Branching of main lines or feeders can be realised just as easily with WPD feeder terminals as a power supply or monitoring connection.

Klippon® Connect WPD 104 - WPD 113 power distribution terminal blocks

For an easy and fast connection of aluminium wires

The power and zero potentials that are fed into machines and plants often need to be distributed even further to supply other consumers such as motors. Those extensions need to be as safe, efficient and space-saving as possible. WPD distribution blocks have a unique echelon form and screw heads in an offset position. The latter ensure at every echelon level a safe and comfortable connection in systems and housings, even in confined spaces.

Control voltage distribution

When supplying devices in the control cabinet, there is an increased risk of faulty connections due to the large number of conductors and the increasingly limited busbar space. With our customised potential distribution terminals, you can set up compact control voltage distributions quickly and easily – with or without fuses. The considerable space saving and low wiring effort makes control cabinet construction particularly efficient.

Klippon® Connect AAP terminal blocks for control voltage distribution

Klippon® Connect potential distribution terminal blocks AAP support the compact design of control voltage distributions and ensure effective control voltage supply for the equipment in the control cabinet. The unique modular concept can be tailored to every type of machine. The potential distribution terminal blocks AAP are successful thanks to their uniform design with two possible constructions – alternating or grouped. Cross-connection options save space and avoid miswiring.

Signal wiring and marshalling

In an energy control cabinet, many digital and analogue signals are connected to the field. They must be marshalled space saving in individual platforms to enable an error-free connection to the downstream processor for diagnostics and control. In conjunction with the AAP series, the PRV/PPV high-density connectivity platform system enables unrivalled signal density in a single slice. The double clamping unit allows signal multiplication on up to 16 isolated levels.

Klippon® Connect PRV terminal blocks for signal wiring and marshalling

An unique design for plenty of space

Space for wiring is scarce and expensive – so as many signalsas possible must be transmitted, secured and separatedin as small a space as possible. This saves valuable space,installationtime and helps create order. These requirements are met by Weidmüller’s new PRV/PPV marshalling terminal blocks.
