Wago’s / conductor preparation

Baldyhugh
Hi


I find myself using the lever 221 wago’s more and more now mainly for lighting circuits but have a question regarding conductor preparation prior to insertion in the wago once the required amount of insulation is stripped off. A solid conductor seems to just go straight in but do you twist a stranded cable and a flexible cable or put them in untwisted? I can’t find any guidance on the box or on the wago website. What do other users of these great little inventions do with them?


Thanks

    I was just going to mention that I don't remember seeing spring-loaded connectors above about 30 A, when I saw mapj1's comment and picture. Impressive. 

     


    Just for interest, I know Weidmuller also do a range of screwless terminals eg ZDU range that goes up to 35mm2 (125A) and includes a wide set of approvals including IECEx & ATEX.
