Product Information

Full details

The Spelsberg RK 4/18 KSL-18x4q terminal enclosure is designed for electricians and system integrators needing a robust and organized solution for electrical connections in industrial and commercial settings. Its primary benefit is providing safe, IP66-rated housing for up to 18 terminals, protecting them from dust and water ingress. A potential consideration is its fixed terminal configuration, which may require specific planning for wiring layouts.

FAQs

What is the maximum conductor cross-section supported by the terminals?

The integrated terminals support a maximum conductor cross-section of 4 sqmm.

What does IP66 protection mean?

IP66 means the enclosure is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. It is suitable for harsh environments.

How many cable entry points are available?

The enclosure has 12 potential cable entry points with various thread sizes (M20, M25, M32) and associated sealing ranges.

Is the enclosure suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, with its IP66 rating and wide operating temperature range, it is well-suited for outdoor applications, provided that cable entries are properly sealed.

Can I add more terminals to this enclosure?

This specific model comes with 18 integrated terminals. Adding more would require using a different enclosure model or external terminal solutions.

What material is the enclosure made from?

The enclosure is made from grey, halogen-free polystyrene, similar to RAL 7035.

What is the operating temperature range?

The working temperature range for this enclosure is from -40°C to 70°C.

Troubleshooting

Enclosure cover does not seal properly

Ensure the sealing gasket is clean, correctly seated, and free from damage. Verify that all cover screws are tightened evenly and securely.

Water ingress detected inside the enclosure

Check all cable entries and cover seals for proper fit and integrity. Ensure the correct size cable glands are used and tightened. Inspect the enclosure body for any cracks or damage. Replace any faulty components.

Difficulty inserting wires into screwless terminals

Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length and the conductor is not frayed. Push the wire firmly and straight into the terminal opening until it is securely held. Refer to the terminal manufacturer's specifications if needed.

Enclosure feels brittle or cracks easily

Verify that the ambient temperature is within the specified operating range (-40°C to 70°C). Avoid dropping or subjecting the enclosure to excessive impact, especially at lower temperatures.
