Switching from terminals to push in and lever wire connectors could make your job easier! `IDEAL wire connectors – for a fast, easy and safe installation`. Electrical cable terminations are traditionally done using a terminal strip. They’re not difficult to use, but even the simplest of traditional techniques can be improved upon and, in this case, the use of lever or push-in connectors can save time, make the job easier, and help electricians achieve a more consistent and compliant installation. +44 (0)1925 444 446 | eur.sales@idealindustries.comA-5 The KeyBenefits There are a host of benefits for using push in and lever wire connectors over traditional connectors. Below are a list of some of those benefits to help you achieve a more efficient connection: > FASTER INSTALLATIONS The old adage ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ is a mantra often quoted by those content to remain permanently within their comfort zone. The problem is, without trying new tools and techniques, we don’t find out whether the job can be done faster, better and with a greater level of consistency. > IMPROVED QUALITY Often, keeping to the same routines can mean missing an opportunity to save time and improve quality, both of which can deliver commercial advantages for electrical installers. > REDUCED CALL BACKS Even small time savings on a single task can add up to a significant time and cost saving over the length of a full installation. What’s more, consistent quality not only reduces the risk of snagging and call backs; it could also enhance the success rate of bids for repeat work > AVOID ARCING + LOOSE SCREWS When using traditional terminal strips the screws can loosen over time, causing arcing in the connector. This presents a potential fire risk and is just one of the reasons why push-in and lever connectors are being more widely used instead of terminal blocks in numerous applications. > COMPLIANT INSTALLATIONS The 18 th Edition requires that traditional terminal strip connections should be accessible for annual inspections in compliance with BS EN 60670-22 which makes it difficult to select a suitable location for terminal strip connections, leading to non-compliance for many projects. Lever and push-in connectors are classified as ‘maintenance-free’ when used in conjunction with an approved enclosure box, so can be part of a compliant installation anywhere within the property. www.idealind.comNext >
