The testing of our busbar plugs was carried out inline with IEC 61439-2, Edition 2, 2011. Please contact us for additional technical queries.

* The unenclosed ratings were tested based on an ambient of 35 °C with test conditions as declared in IEC 61439 with temperature rise as shown.

** This figure is based on an assessment of multiple devices peak let through current. The specific peak let through current for the selected SCPD should be confirmed not to exceed the Ipk declared.

Termate recommends that any cutting made after the finish has been applied, should be treated to ensure compliance with IEC 61439-1 section 10.2.2 (resistance to corrosion).

Care should be taken to ensure that the mounting plate exhibits sufficient mechanical strength consistent with the Busbar Plugs being inserted and withdrawn multiple times. Experience, judgement and good engineering practice should always be applied.

  • Moving assemblies are inspected within every 200 operations or immediately after any form of short circuit
  • Unplug or withdraw the moving assembly
  • Visually inspect all components for damage or signs of arcing, damaged or worn components should be further inspected or replaced as required
  • Clean and re-grease any moving electrical contacts with a suitable electrical grade lubricant
  • Clean and re-grease any moving mechanical parts with a suitable lubricant
  • Check tightness of any fixings
