Troubleshooting
Comb rail not making contact with device terminals.
Ensure the comb rail is fully inserted into the device terminals. Check for any obstructions or debris on the pins or terminals. Verify the device is designed for pin-type comb rails.
Overheating at connection points.
Verify the total current load does not exceed the 63A rating. Ensure connections are tight and secure. Check if the cross-section of the connected wires is appropriate.
Device not receiving power.
Check that the incoming power supply to the comb rail is active. Ensure the comb rail is correctly connected to the incoming power source and the device.
Damage to insulation.
If insulation is cracked or damaged, the comb rail should be replaced immediately to prevent electrical hazards. Ensure proper handling during installation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Streamlines wiring for single-pole devices.
- Insulated design enhances user safety.
- Compact and efficient use of space within distribution boards.
- Robust 63A current rating suitable for many applications.
- Easy to install with pin-type connectors.
Cons
- Limited to single-phase applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the power to the distribution board is completely isolated.
- Mount the comb rail vertically or horizontally within the distribution board, aligning it with the connection terminals of the devices.
- Connect the incoming power supply to the designated terminals on the comb rail.
- Push the pin-type connectors of the comb rail into the corresponding input terminals of the single-pole devices (e.g., MCBs).
- Ensure all connections are secure and fully seated.
Compatibility:
- Designed for single-phase (1P) systems.
- Suitable for devices with pin-type connection requirements.
- Compatible with distribution boards designed to accommodate 13 modules (19mm divider size).
- Cross-section of 10mm² is suitable for standard wiring.
Care:
- Keep the comb rail clean and free from dust and debris.
- Periodically inspect for signs of wear or damage.
- Ensure proper ventilation within the distribution board.
- Cleaning should be done with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners as they can compromise insulation.
