In Omnielectric, we share information about the new XTVMEA 6 measurement terminals from Phoenix Contact, which incorporate the advanced Push-X connection technology. These terminals are noteworthy for their feature of automatic transformer short-circuit advance, ensuring safe operation during maintenance and test tasks. This “make before break” function ensures the current transformer operates without interruptions or risks.
Characteristics and Advantages of Push-X Technology
The connection technology Push-X requires no force or tools, positioning itself as one of the fastest and most flexible solutions on the market. Compatible with all types of conductors, with or without tips, it enables an easy and quick lateral connection, facilitating the identification and handling of the terminals thanks to its large and easy-to-read connection marks.
Applications in the Energy Sector
The XTVMEA 6 measurement terminals are ideal for measurement and protection applications in the energy sector. They are fully compatible with Phoenix Contact’s ME 6 terminal block series, facilitating their integration into existing systems. Its ergonomic design and the inclusion of two times three bridged slots allow for more efficient installation and operation.
Accessories and Compatibility
The XTVMEA 6 series is also compatible with the CLIPLINE complete system accessories, providing great versatility and ease of use. New additional accessories, such as the C-MEA actuation lever and the plug-in multi-pole bridges SB-MEA, enable simultaneous actuation and short-circuiting of several terminals, thus optimizing maintenance and operation processes. In addition, the series includes through terminals and earth terminals with the same contour, offering a complete and homogeneous solution for various applications.
Design and Safety Innovation
The ergonomic design of the XTVMEA 6 terminals not only eases handling but also improves safety and efficiency in use. The advanced make-before-break short-circuiting of the current transformer ensures that any maintenance or test task is performed without risk of damage or service interruption.
