Comb Type Shorting Links (UFSL & SLC):-
Interconnecting links/ Shorting
links:-
Interconnecting links or shorting links are used to interconnect
two or more
terminal blocks of same type and at the same potential. it is recommended that factory made
shorting
links which are designed considering the rated current of the terminal block and its pitch
are used for
interconnection purpose rather than looping by wire which is not a reliable
practice.
elmex offers following types
of shorting
links:-
Permanent Cross
Connection Link
Assembly (CCLA):-
Removable shorting links are used to interconnect two
adjacent
terminal blocks temporarily and make switchable cross connection. The links are fitted onto the
terminal
blocks with long studs and screws. As the links rest above the top surface of the terminal
blocks, they can
be readily opened up.
For a pair of terminal blocks to be shorted, one removable link
and two
studs are required. Further, since the links rest above the top surface of the terminal block,
it is
recommended to mount a barrier plate/ partition plate between two adjacent pairs of shorted
terminal
blocks.
Removable Shorting Link
(RSL):-
In two types
of shorting links as described above, interconnection is made using screws/ studs through a
tapped hole
in current bar. For certain types of terminal designs, viz. stud type terminal blocks, such
interconnection is not possible. As a solution to this problem, shorting links are designed
to
interconnect adjacent terminal blocks through termination points (where wire is connected)
like stud and
nut assemblies or clamping units from sides between adjacent terminal blocks. These links
are generally
available in 2,3,4,5 and 10 ways.
Push-in Type Shorting Links (DSL/MSL/SSL):-
These types of links are designed for screwless type terminal blocks and are available in two ways. A stack of terminal blocks of the same type can be shorted using two-way shorting links. These shorting links are push-in type.
Current bars in these terminals have provision to accept two shorting links which can be inserted from top. Thus we can short two terminal blocks with one shorting link, three terminals with two shorting links, four terminals with three shorting links and so on.
