Wylex REC2SPD

Will Elec
Hi all,


I bought one of these for the first time today for a job I have coming up. I was suprised when I opened it up to find the SPD linked to the isolator by just 2.5mm wires, as these are the factory connection I guess this is the norm but I was suprised all the same! Why so small? I was expecting a copper busbar!


Thanks,

Will

    Have you considered that the SPD conductors in the photo are the wrong way around if they have a ferrule on the other end or just the bare conductor?


    The fork crimps in the balcony slots on the main switch outputs and the ferrules or bare conductors in the cage clamps of the SPD.


    If you watch German YouTube videos of SPD installation you will see they put bare conductors into cage clamps as they are not damaged by the screws, whereas they use ferrules in screw terminals to avoid the screws damaging the conductors.
