Vibration- and Shock-Proof –Maintenance-Free

The vibration-proof properties ofCAGE CLAMP® connections have beentested and verified in a vibration test toIEC/EN 60068-2-6. In this test, a fre-quency band up to 2000Hz, at differentaccelerations up to 20g and differentamplitudes up to 20mm, is passedcontinuously in three axes. Additionally,international authorities have placedextremely demanding requirements onelectrical installations. Railway authori-

ties have applied testing for electricalinstallations in rolling stock (IEC/EN61373); multiple marine agencies(e.g., GL, LR and DNV) have also heldCAGE CLAMP® to their lofty approvalstandards. Each rigorous test was suc-cessfully passed.

In the Impact Test (IEC/EN 60068-2-27) or for railway applications (IEC/EN61373), test specimens were exposedto instant shock stresses, instead of

permanent vibrations. Stresses up to100g on the x-, y- and z-axis were eas-ily passed.

Maintenance-free operation resultsfrom excellent long-term consistency ofthe electrical and mechanical propertiesof the clamping connection – or moreprecisely, the clamping unit. The Volt-age Drop Test evaluates clamping unitquality under stresses such as vibrations,temperature changes and corrosiveinfluences, in order to verify that thecontact point is gas-tight. The long-termconsistency of CAGE CLAMP® technolo-gy has been demonstrated both throughlaboratory testing by internationalapproval agencies and from worldwideapplications.The resulting maintenance-free opera-tion reduces service costs, leading togreater equipment availability andreliability.

A number of VDE directives mandateor recommend that only one conduc-tor should or must be connected perclamping unit (e.g., DIN VDE 0611,Part 4, 02.91, Section 3.1.9).WAGO complies with this safetyrequirement, as expressed in the cor-responding directives.

Technical and economical benefitsfor the users:

•Each conductor is clamped indepen-dently.

•Any combination of conductor crosssection can be reliably connectedper potential.

•Where re-wiring is required, only theconductor to be changed is removedfrom the clamping unit, all other con-ductors remain safely clamped.

•The arrangement of more than two

clamping units on one current barpermits potential multiplication, with-out jumpers or additional terminalblocks.

CAGE CLAMP® and CAGE CLAMP®Sclamp all copper conductors from0.08 mm2 to 35 mm2 (28 - 2 AWG)(95 mm2 (4/0 AWG)), or from0.25 mm2 to 25 mm2 (22 - 4 AWG).Splice protection is not required, butpossible.

The conductor is pressed againstthe current bar in the predefinedcontact area, without damage. Theclamping force adjusts automaticallyto the conductor size. Dynamic contactcompensates for changes/movementof the conductor to eliminate the risk ofa loose connection.

CAGE CLAMP® clamps one conductor per clamping unit.

Gastight Clamping Units –Measurable Contact Quality

Long-term consistency for the low con-tact resistance of both CAGE CLAMP® and CAGE CLAMP®S results fromgastight clamping units. The springclamp (acid- and saltwater-proofCrNi spring steel) presses the connectedconductor against the current bar (elec-trolyte copper with lead-free, pure tincoating) within a defined contact zone.The conductor is embedded into thesoft tin layer with high contact pressure,securing it against corrosive infiltration.

The contact pressure

exerted by CAGE CLAMP® terminationsis similar to screw-style terminals.

The Temperature-Rise Test examines the clamping unit, includingthe surrounding insulation, at rated

current, over-current and short-circuitcurrent levels.

The following test proceduresare ideal for evaluating clampingunit quality:

The Voltage Drop Test evaluatesclamping unit quality under stressessuch as vibrations, temperature changes

and corrosive influences.

Climatic chambers simulate standardatmospheres that could impact long-term constancy of clamping units.All WAGO products meet requirementsfor the following environmental tests:

•Temperature Cycling Test toIEC/EN 60947-7-1,IEC/EN 60998-2-2

•Industrial Atmospheres toEN ISO 6988,IEC/EN 60068-2-42,IEC/EN 60068-2-60
