When it may not be suitable

This terminal is specifically designed for 5mm thick busbars and may not be compatible with busbars of different thicknesses. It is also not intended for use with conductors outside the specified cross-section range of 1.5mm2 to 16mm2.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 180A
• Rated voltage: 690V
• Busbar thickness compatibility: 5mm
• Conductor cross-section range: 1.5mm2 to 16mm2

How to use

To install the Simet BKS1605, ensure the power supply is disconnected to maintain safety. Position the terminal onto the 5mm busbar and tighten the mounting mechanism securely. Insert the prepared conductor, stripped to the appropriate length, into the terminal opening. Use a suitable tool to tighten the screw connection, ensuring the wire is firmly held in place without damaging the strands. Verify the connection stability before restoring power to the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your existing busbar system
• Check that your conductor size falls within the 1.5mm2 to 16mm2 range
• Ensure the electrical load does not exceed the 180A rating
• Confirm compatibility with your specific panel layout

Usage recommendations

Always follow local electrical regulations and safety standards during installation. Periodically inspect terminal connections in high-vibration environments to ensure they remain tight and secure over time.
