Where the Mounting plate 95-240 is used

The plate suits modular board installations that use 95-240 mm² cable lug connectors. It works as the base of the connector.

In practice, the plate holds the connector in place and at the right distance from the busbar. Without it, the connector does not sit correctly in the board.

You need one plate for each connector. Therefore, size the number of plates by the number of connectors.

Always choose the plate by connector size. If you order the connector and the plate separately, check that they are the same size class. Otherwise the installation stops on site.

Part of a modular distribution board

Modules attach to the rail system of the board. As a result, you can change the configuration as the site progresses, without rewiring.

The foundation phase needs different power than the interior phase. Therefore, you swap modules instead of buying a new board. In a rental fleet, the same frame also moves from site to site.

See the full range of modular distribution boards and modules. Ready boards with plug supply are in the plug-on sub-distribution boards group.

Mounting plate 95-240 – installation and maintenance

A qualified electrician carries out the installation and any changes. First, make the board dead before you add or replace modules, and verify this by measurement.

The plate goes on the front panel of the board at the module slot. Do not leave unused module slots open, because live parts would then be within reach.

A poor joint does not show from the outside. However, it heats up under load, and the heat damages first the insulation and then the busbar.

Check the joint after the first day under load and regularly after that. An aluminium conductor needs more frequent checks than copper, because aluminium creeps under tightening.

Safety

Site electrical installations must meet the same requirements as fixed ones, and some are stricter. For this reason, inspect the board at commissioning and regularly during use.

The inspection covers the enclosure, the joints and the protective devices. It also confirms that nobody can reach live parts.

Do not repair a damaged part on site. Instead, replace a burnt connector or a cracked enclosure, because a temporary repair on site almost always becomes permanent.

The requirements for electrical work are explained on the Tukes website.
