Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of terminal block technology, specifically to a high-current busbar terminal block. Background Technology

[0002] Busbar terminals are a type of terminal block. Their core function is to establish a reliable electrical connection. By tightening screws to crimp wires, the connection is reliable and suitable for high-current scenarios, such as power distribution cabinets and motor control.

[0003] In power distribution cabinets, bus terminals play multiple roles in the power system. Their primary function is as a current transmission hub, connecting the busbar and branch lines to ensure stable power distribution. With increasing reliability requirements in some applications, it is necessary to independently install dual-power transfer switches in the power distribution cabinet to ensure the continuity of power supply to critical loads. When the main power supply fails, it automatically switches to the backup power supply; when the main power supply is restored, it can automatically or manually switch back to the main power supply. With the inclusion of dual-power transfer switches within the power distribution cabinet, the internal wiring also needs adjustment, requiring additional bus terminals for power distribution wiring. Furthermore, some power distribution applications require multiple outputs, further increasing the number of bus terminals. This undoubtedly increases the cost of power configuration, the number of power distribution cabinets installed, and also hinders the integration of electrical components within the power distribution cabinet.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need to design a high-current bus terminal block to cope with the changing power distribution needs of current power distribution cabinets. Summary of the Invention
