Full details

This guide is for electricians and technicians working with Schneider Electric Compact NSX 100/160/250 and Easypact CVS 100/160/250 circuit breakers. The key benefit is secure and versatile termination for both copper and aluminium cables up to 120mm². A caveat to consider is that these are sold as a set of 4 and are specifically designed for these breaker series. These connectors facilitate the connection of two cables per terminal, offering a robust solution for power distribution.

FAQs

What is the maximum number of cables that can be connected to one terminal?

Each connector terminal is designed to accommodate two cables.

Can these connectors be used with single-core wires?

Yes, they can be used with single-core copper or aluminium cables within the specified size range of 50mm² to 120mm².

Are these connectors suitable for outdoor use?

These connectors are typically used within electrical enclosures. Ensure appropriate environmental protection is in place if used in exposed conditions.

What does 'bare cable connectors' mean?

It means the connectors are designed to terminate the uninsulated (bare) end of electrical cables directly.

How are these connectors sold?

They are sold as a set of 4 parts, meaning you receive four individual terminals in a package.

Are these connectors universal for all circuit breakers?

No, these connectors are specifically designed for use with Schneider Electric Compact NSX 100/160/250 and Easypact CVS 100/160/250 circuit breakers.

Troubleshooting

Connection is loose

Re-tighten the screw to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Verify the correct cable size is used.

Connector does not fit terminal

Confirm that the circuit breaker is a compatible Schneider Electric model (Compact NSX or Easypact CVS series). Ensure no debris is obstructing the terminal.

Overheating at the connection point

Check if the cable size is within the specified range (50-120mm²). Ensure both cables are properly inserted and the connector is securely tightened. If problems persist, the circuit breaker or cable may need inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the circuit breaker (Compact NSX 100/160/250 or Easypact CVS 100/160/250) is de-energized and isolated.
  2. Prepare the cable ends by stripping the appropriate length of insulation, following standard electrical practices.
  3. Insert the conductor ends of up to two cables (50mm² to 120mm²) into the terminal openings.
  4. Screw the connectors directly onto the device terminals or right-angle terminal extensions. Use appropriate tools to tighten securely, ensuring good electrical contact without over-tightening.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Compatibility: Schneider Electric Compact NSX 100/160/250 circuit breakers.
  • Secondary Compatibility: Schneider Electric Easypact CVS 100/160/250 circuit breakers.
  • Cable Types: Copper or Aluminium.
