DIN-rail screwless spring terminals
IMO Precision Controls recently launched its new range of DIN-rail screwless spring terminals which guarantee safe connection in all low voltage installations
The breakers conform to IEC 60947-1, 60947-2, 60947-4-1 and VDE 0660 standards and with UL approval the range offers short circuit breaking capacity up to 100kA Icu without the need for back up fuses.
Four different frame sizes offer the user current ranges from 0.16A to 100A and auxiliary contacts can either be fitted within the foot print of the unit or side mounted.
Incorporated into the design are a range of enclosures which enable motor starters to be used on small, purpose built machines.
This gives direct motor control and protection from external pushbuttons.
Door coupling rotary operating mechanisms are available with red/yellow or black handles.
The new C3 range fully compliments the comprehensive range of motor control equipment available from IMO.
