Over the coming months, the terminal connectors supplied with a number of Electrical Accessories will be changing. These changes are:
- The screw type in the connector will suit either a No. 2 Philips Drive or a No 1 Square Drive screwdriver.
- Terminal connectors will now be square wrapper design, ensuring reliable connection.
- All connectors will now be supplied with single screw. This is fully compliant with AS/NZS3000:2007 as per clause (d) below from sub-section 2.9.4. for active, neutral and earth connections.
(d) a neutral conductor used as a combined protective earthing and neutral (PEN) conductor for protective earthing of any portion of an electrical installation, the terminal shall be of a type having—
- two screws; or
- one screw with an outside diameter not less than 80% of the tunnel diameter.
The terminal connectors being supplied have a screw diameter in excess of 80% of the tunnel diameter which means the single screw connectors can be used for
active, neutral and earth connections.
