9.1.6
Connection cross sections
Connectable cable cross-sections depend on the motor starter's connection system.
Connection system
Screw connection
Push-in spring-type terminals
Hybrid connection method
Control circuit realized as push-in spring-loaded
terminal and main circuit as screw terminal
The table below contains the suitable conductor cross-sections for the control circuit and
signaling contacts (= auxiliary contacts) and for the main circuit (= main contacts).
Type of the connectable
conductor cross-section
for main contacts
•
–
solid
–
finely stranded
–
with conductor end
processing
–
without conductor final
cutting
for auxiliary contacts
