How to use

To install the Wago 285-197, ensure the electrical system is de-energized. Mount the terminal block onto a compatible DIN rail within your enclosure. Insert the stripped protective earth conductor into the conductor entry point and secure it according to the manufacturer's torque specifications to ensure a firm, low-resistance connection. Verify that the connection is tight and that the terminal block is correctly identified as a grounding point.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the physical dimensions to ensure compatibility with your existing DIN rail space.
• Ensure the conductor cross-section matches the terminal block capacity.
• Confirm that the application requires a dedicated protective earth grounding terminal.

Usage recommendations

Always adhere to local electrical codes and safety regulations when installing grounding components. Regularly inspect connections for signs of wear or loosening to maintain optimal system safety.
