Connections of Current Terminals

Fasteners
The fasteners for the transformer connection are part of the current terminal (housing side). They are made of
a stress-crack and corrosion-free alloy. The head shape of the clamping screw allows the use of a DIN 5.5 x 1.0
screwdriver or a PZ2 screwdriver. Siemens recommends a PZ2 screwdriver.
Connection Elements and Conductor Cross-Sections
The following connection types are possible:
•
Stranded-wire conductor with ring-type lug
•
Stranded-wire conductor with bootlace ferrule
•
Solid conductor
Siemens recommends the use of ring-type lugs with the dimensions shown in the following figure. Use copper
cables only.

In order to maintain the insulation route, you must use insulated cable lugs or you must insulate the crimping
zone (for example, by using heat-shrink tube insulation)
Siemens recommends ring-type lugs of the PIDG series made by Tyco Electronics.
Use copper conductors only, at least certified for a temperature of +105 °C. Use prepared solid conductors
intended for single or multi-wiring connection, maximum 2 wires per pole, and for usage of ferrules, crimped-
on pressure wire connectors (ring-type and pin-type).
2 terminal lugs can be installed for each connection.
