Benefits of WAGO Technology

One Conductor per Clamping Unit

Several of VDE directives mandate or recommend that only one conductor should or must be connected per clamping unit (e.g., DIN VDE 0611, Part 4, 02.91, Section 3.1.9). WAGO complies with this safety requirement, as expressed in the corresponding directives.

The technical and economic benefits of this for users include the following:

• Each conductor is clamped independently.

• Any conductor size combination per potential can be safely connected.

• Where re-wiring is required, only the conductor to be changed is removed from the clamping point – all other conductors remain safely clamped.

• The arrangement of more than two clamping units on one current bar permits potential multiplication, without jumpers or additional terminal block

CAGE CLAMP® and Push-in CAGE CLAMP® terminate all copper conductors from 28 to 2 AWG (0.08–35mm2) (350 kcmil/185 mm2), or from 22 to 4 AWG (0.25–25 mm2). Splice protection is not required, but is possible.

The conductor is pressed against the current bar in the predefined contact area, without damage. The clamping force adjusts automatically to the conductor size. The clamp dynamically compensates for changes/movement of the conductor to eliminate the risk of a loose connection.
