[0002] Terminal blocks are insulating components that support multiple or more sets of mutually insulated terminal assemblies and are used for fixing and supporting parts. The function of terminal blocks is to connect the wiring of equipment inside and outside the panel, facilitating signal (current and voltage) transmission. Terminal blocks make wiring neater, easier to maintain, and provide reliable connections between long-distance lines, simplifying construction and maintenance. However, existing cables are connected to terminal blocks via copper plates, resulting in insufficient creepage distance between the terminals, reducing the safety factor. Furthermore, the leads of the current transformer are led out relative to the cable direction, making wiring inconvenient. Utility Model Content
