Product Information
Full details
The Schneider Electric Cable Connector (LV432482) is designed for electricians and maintenance professionals working with Compact NSX 400/630 and Easy Pact CVS 400/630 circuit breakers. Its key benefit is providing secure and reliable connections for both copper and aluminum cables, ensuring system integrity. A minor consideration is that it's sold as a set of 4, which may be more than needed for single-pole applications. This product offers essential connectivity accessories, supporting a wide range of cable sizes and compatible with specific Schneider Electric circuit breaker models, while also being environmentally conscious by being free from toxic heavy metals and mercury.

FAQs
What type of cables can be used with this connector?
This connector is designed for use with both copper and aluminum bare cables ranging in size from 35mm² to 240mm².
Which circuit breakers are compatible with this connector?
It is compatible with Schneider Electric Compact NSX 400/630 and Easy Pact CVS 400/630 circuit breakers, as well as INS320...630, INSJ400, and INV320...630 series.
How many connectors are included in a set?
The connectors are sold as a set of 4 parts.
Can this connector be used with insulated cables?
While the connector is designed for bare cables, insulated cables can be used if the insulation is stripped back to expose the bare conductor for termination.
What is the maximum current rating?
The rated operating current for these connectors is up to 630 A.
Are these connectors suitable for outdoor use?
The product information does not specify outdoor rating. Ensure installation complies with local electrical codes and environmental protection requirements for outdoor applications.
Why is it described as 'Toxic heavy metal free' and 'Mercury free'?
This indicates that the materials used in the manufacturing of these connectors do not contain harmful substances like lead, cadmium, or mercury, making them a more environmentally responsible choice.
Troubleshooting
Connection appears loose
Re-tighten the terminal screws. Ensure the cable end is properly seated and stripped to the correct length. Verify the cable size is within the specified range (35-240mm²).
Overheating at connection point
Immediately de-energize the circuit. Check for proper torque, clean the connection surfaces, and ensure the cable is fully inserted. If the issue persists, replace the connector and inspect the cable for damage.
Difficulty inserting cable
Ensure the cable end is clean, round, and free of burrs. Verify that the connector is correctly aligned with the terminal. The cable size should match the connector's capacity.
