Terminating a Ground Cable with an OT Terminal
Strip the ground cable.
A: OT terminal
B: ground cable
C: exposed cable conductor
L1: length of the exposed cable
When you are skillful, you can determine L1
based on the length of the OT terminal lug.
When striping off the insulation layer of the
ground cable, take care not to damage or nick
the metal conductor of the cable.
Terminating an Indoor PI Power Cable with an EPC4 Connector
Components of an EPC4 (Easy Power Connector)
(1) EPC4 (Easy Power Connector)
(2) Scale
(3) Sliding block
(4) Hole for the conductor
Push back the sliding blocks until
they are in position. Then, check
whether the conductors are secure
by gently pulling the cables. If the
conductor slides outward or the
wire of the conductor is exposed
outside the hole for the conductor,
remove the conductor, cut the split
wires, and then strip the jacket and
install the conductor again.

Ensure that the cable conductor does not
protrude more than 2 mm from the OT terminal.
Use a screwdriver to push the sliding block until
the in-position mark is completely exposed.
Wrong:
The conductor is not perpendicular
to the hole
Wrong:
The conductor is deviated from the
center of the hole
