Premium Housing Material
The housing of Morek’s OTL Universal Terminals is crafted from self-extinguishing UL 94 V-0 class plastic material. This material is not only flame-resistant but also exceptionally durable, ensuring that your electrical connections remain secure in all conditions.
Look for CE and Class A Markings
When selecting a safe and reliable connector, it’s essential to check for specific markings. Always ensure that the terminal is equipped with the CE mark and the Class A designation, accompanied by the symbol of the certifying institute, such as FI -mark. These markings are your assurance of quality and safety.
Meeting Stringent Standards
When it comes to electrical components, adhering to international standards is non-negotiable. Morek’s Universal Terminals OTL goes above and beyond by being tested and certified by the following standards:
EN 60947-7-1:2009
Low-voltage switchgear and control gear – Part 7-1: Ancillary equipment – Terminal blocks for copper conductors
This standard guarantees that the terminals are not just functional but also compliant with safety regulations.
EN 61238-1:2003
Compression and mechanical connectors for power cables for rated voltages up to 30 kV (Um = 36 kV) – Part 1: Test methods and requirements
This certification ensures that these terminals can handle high-voltage applications with ease.
Critical for Switchgear and More
It’s crucial to note that all connectors used inside switchgears or similar appliances must meet these stringent requirements. Morek’s commitment to compliance ensures that their products can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of electrical systems
Class A vs. Class B Connectors
EN 61238-1:2003 classifies connectors for copper and aluminium cables into two categories: Class A and Class B. Understanding the distinction is vital for choosing the right connector for your specific application.
Class A Connectors (Heat Cycle and Short-Circuit Tested)
Class A connectors are designed to withstand short-circuits of relatively high intensity and duration. They are the go-to choice for electricity distribution and industrial networks where short-circuit events may occur. Morek’s OTL Universal Terminals proudly belong to this category, making them suitable for a broad spectrum of applications.
Class B Connectors (Heat Cycle Tests Only, Not Short-Circuit Tested)
Class B connectors are intended for networks in which overloads or short-circuits are rapidly cleared by protective devices like fast-acting fuses. While they have their place, Class A connectors like Morek’s OTL terminals offer a higher level of reliability and safety in demanding scenarios.
When it comes to your electrical projects, trust Morek’s OTL Universal Terminals to deliver unmatched performance and peace of mind. Say goodbye to compatibility issues and subpar connectors—opt for Morek’s Universal Terminal Blocks, the gold standard in the industry.
