FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the DEHN 365250 clamp?
It is used to integrate mounting systems, such as those for PV installations, into equipotential bonding or earthing and lightning protection systems, ensuring a secure and corrosion-resistant connection.
What types of conductors can be connected?
The clamp can connect copper, aluminum, steel, and stainless steel round conductors with a diameter between 8mm and 10mm.
What is the clamping range for mounting profiles?
The clamp is designed for profiles with a thickness ranging from 0.7mm to 8mm.
Does this clamp prevent corrosion?
Yes, it features a stainless steel contact plate specifically designed to prevent contact corrosion when connecting different conductor materials.
Is this clamp suitable for any mounting system?
It is designed for systems requiring integration into equipotential bonding or earthing and lightning protection. Always ensure compatibility with your specific mounting profile and conductor requirements.
What standards does this clamp comply with?
It is compliant with EN 62561-1 and IEC/EN 62305-3 standards.
What is included with the DEHN 365250 clamp?
The clamp typically includes the main clamp body, an M8 hammer-head bolt, and a self-locking nut.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not securely hold the conductor or profile.
Verify that the conductor diameter is within the 8-10mm range and the profile thickness is within the 0.7-8mm range. Ensure the M8 bolt is tightened to the correct torque specification and the self-locking nut is fully engaged.
Signs of corrosion at the connection point.
The stainless steel contact plate is designed to minimize this. If corrosion is observed, it may indicate environmental factors or improper installation. Disassemble, clean all contact surfaces thoroughly, and reassemble, ensuring proper torque and contact pressure.
Difficulty inserting the conductor.
Confirm the conductor is round and within the specified diameter. Ensure the conductor is straight and free of kinks or damage. The clamp channel should be clean.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Ensures corrosion-free connections between dissimilar conductor materials.
Compliant with critical international safety standards (EN 62561-1, IEC/EN 62305-3).
Provides a secure and stable mounting solution for PV and other systems.
Facilitates efficient feed-through wiring of mounting profiles.
Durable construction with stainless steel components.
Cons
Limited to round conductors between 8-10mm.
Clamping range for profiles is specific (0.7-8mm), check compatibility.
Requires proper installation to maintain grounding integrity.
Not designed for direct connection to mains electrical systems.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the DEHN 365250 clamp is suitable for the conductor size (8-10mm round) and the profile thickness (0.7-8mm).
Clean the conductor and the mounting profile surface where the clamp will make contact.
Place the clamp onto the profile, ensuring the hammer-head bolt is correctly positioned.
Insert the round conductor into the designated channel of the clamp.
Tighten the self-locking nut onto the M8 hammer-head bolt to secure both the conductor and the profile. Use appropriate torque settings as per installation guidelines.
