Modern distribution box terminal block

Orcave DB580/1F6

When building the infrastructure of cities, one of the weakest points is the old (traditional) terminal blocks at the foot of the poles, which are only suitable for connecting power cables. But intelligent infrastructure is primarily a network of controlled appliances, which requires "a lot of holes" to power everything possible. Distribution box type terminal blocks are the answer to these needs.

Design

Each distribution module accommodates up to 3 wires with a cross-section of 16 mm2. In addition to the classic connection of cables between 2 light points, it can also create a T branch. The wire is pulled through a worm with a nimbus lock.
For connecting consumers, there are up to 4 terminals on each module for wires from 1.5 to 4 mm2. Fixation again through the nimbus. The design allows handling even when the cover is closed thanks to the through holes. The number of distribution boxes can be easily changed. The assembly is protected by a green-yellow grounding clamp, which ensures protection against contact with its mechanism.
The upper part of the DIN rail is used for fixing control elements (e.g. Orcave 303-111, 313-112, etc.) using a facet.

Function

The terminal box places greater demands on the preparation of power conductors, which must be shaped appropriately before fixation. Considering that the power cables are no longer used for the lifetime of the light, it pays to do it well. The reward is easy handling of other cables that are in the column.
For example, in the case of a SMART solution, not only the power supply, but also the control phase is connected. If the pole will be fitted with a PowerCon connector, public address system, radar, cameras, etc., then the additional terminals offered by the terminal block will be used with advantage.
Fuse boxes can be easily added to the DIN rail, so unlocking other appliances is clearly in one place.
