Insulation testing
PE power contacts
inserted into the terminal without any force. The terminal closes
automatically when the pressure is released, holding the wire securely and
permanently.
The connection between the bus terminal controller and the bus terminals
is automatically realised by pushing the components together. The transfer
of the data and the supply voltage for the intelligent electronics in the bus
terminals is performed by the terminal bus. The supply of the field
electronics is performed through the power contacts. Plugging together the
power contacts creates a supply rail. Since some bus terminals (e.g.
analogue bus terminals or 4-channel digital bus terminals) are not looped
through these power contacts (or not completely) the bus terminal contact
assignments must be considered. The potential feed terminals interrupt the
power contacts, and represent the start of a new supply rail. The bus
terminal controller can also be made use of to feed the power contacts.
The power contact labelled “PE” can be used as a protective earth. For
safety reasons this contact mates first when plugging together, and can
ground short-circuit currents of up to 125 A. It should be noted that, for
reasons of electromagnetic compatibility, the PE contacts are
capacitatively coupled to the mounting rail. This can both lead to
misleading results and to damaging the terminal during insulation testing
(e.g. breakdown of the insulation from a 230 V power consuming device to
the PE conductor). The PE conductor to the bus terminal controller must be
disconnected for the insulation testing. In order to uncouple further feed
locations for the purposes of testing, the feed terminals can be pulled at
least 10 mm out from the connected group of other terminals. In that case,
the PE conductors do not have to be disconnected.
The “PE” power contact must not be used for other potentials.
