Ergom KM 240/16 Copper Ring Terminal

The Ergom KM 240/16 copper ring terminal is a professional-grade electrical component engineered to provide secure and efficient connections for heavy-duty power applications. Designed specifically for cables with a cross-section of 240 mm², this terminal features a robust construction that ensures excellent electrical conductivity and long-term mechanical stability. Its precise design facilitates reliable termination in demanding environments, making it a trusted choice for electrical engineers and installers who prioritize safety and performance in power distribution systems.

Advantages

This copper ring terminal offers superior performance due to its high-purity copper material, which minimizes resistance and prevents overheating during high-current operations. The design is optimized for durability, providing a strong mechanical bond that resists vibration and environmental stress. By ensuring a consistent contact surface, the terminal helps maintain the integrity of electrical circuits, reducing the risk of connection failures and maintenance requirements in critical infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Power distribution cabinets and switchgear
• Industrial electrical installations
• Heavy machinery and equipment wiring
• Renewable energy systems and battery banks

When it may not be suitable

This terminal is not intended for use with cables that do not match the specified 240 mm² cross-section, as improper sizing can lead to poor electrical contact and potential overheating. It is also not suitable for applications requiring specialized corrosion-resistant coatings if the environment involves extreme chemical exposure beyond standard industrial conditions.

Key specifications

• Cable cross-section: 240 mm²
• Stud hole diameter: 16 mm
• Material: High-conductivity copper
• Connection type: Ring terminal

How to use

To install the Ergom KM 240/16, first strip the insulation from the end of the 240 mm² cable to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor fully into the barrel of the terminal. Use a professional-grade hydraulic crimping tool compatible with this terminal size to perform a secure crimp, ensuring the connection is mechanically sound and electrically tight. Once crimped, place the ring over the corresponding 16 mm stud and secure it firmly with a nut and washer to ensure optimal contact.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section is exactly 240 mm²
• Ensure the mounting stud diameter is 16 mm
• Confirm that you have access to a hydraulic crimping tool suitable for this terminal size

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the crimping tool is properly calibrated for the terminal size to achieve a gas-tight connection. Regularly inspect connections in high-vibration environments to ensure that the fastening hardware remains tight.
