Hawke AI324 | HPB Terminal Block Installation guide

  • Hello! I have analyzed the provided document, which is the Assembly Instructions for the Hawke HPB Terminal. This document covers key aspects such as tightening torque, operating temperature range, terminal resistance, and various conductor size limits and combinations and installation guidelines for the terminals. I'm prepared to answer your questions about this product and the instructions contained within.
  • What is the recommended tightening torque for the terminal cap?
    What is the operating temperature range for the HPB Terminal?
    What is the maximum stripping length for leads connected to the terminals?
    What is the terminal resistance for each pillar?
    Can different sizes of conductors be inserted into the same terminal?
1) Leads connected to the terminals shall have insulation
extending to within 3mm of the terminal throat and the bare
end of each lead shall not extend more than 3mm beyond the
other side of the slot and shall remain straight. Maximum
stripping length 16mm.
2) The terminal cap of each terminal, used and unused, shall be
fully tightened down by the end user. The tightening torque is 1
to 2Nm.
3) Conductors of dierent sizes and congurations shall not be
inserted into the same terminal throat/slot except for the
specic combinations listed in Tables 1 & 3. Even distribution of
conductors required to ensure all conductors are under
compression.
4) When installed in an enclosure the creepage and clearance
distances between the terminals, adjacent equipment and
enclosure walls must comply with the requirements of IEC/EN
60079-7. When the Hawke Terminal Link to Drg. 9476 is tted, it
may aect clearance distances.
5) When installed in plastic enclosures, there shall be at least 3mm
clearance between the inside of the removable cover/lid of the
enclosure and the terminal screws after the connections have
been made and the terminal screws and cover/lid have been
fully tightened down.
6) For conductor sizes less than 1mm² but not less than 0.5mm²,
the maximum current rating shall not exceed 1 amp.
7) The service temperature range must not exceed -60°C to +75°C.
