Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies requirements for terminal blocks with screw-type or screwless-type clamping units primarily intended for industrial or similar use and to be fixed to a support to provide electrical and mechanical connection between copper conductors. lt applies to terminal blocks intended to connect round copper conductors, with or without special preparation, having a cross-section between 0,2 mm2 and 300 mm2 (AWG 24/600 kcmil), intended to be used in circuits of a rated voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. up to 1 000 Hz or 1 500 V d.c. (This Uganda Standard cancels and replaces US EAS 378-7-1:2005, Low-voltage switchgear and control gear - Part 7-1: Ancillary equipment - Terminal blocks for copper conductors, which has been technically revised).
