FAQs
The DK earth rail is designed to fit 25 mm DIN pitch patterns and 19” mounting angles, making it compatible with VX, VX IT, and TS enclosure families up to 1,000 mm in height. It includes 15x 6 mm² earthing leads and 16 clamps for 2.5–16 mm² cables, ensuring straightforward, plug-and-play installation in existing layouts.
The earth rail provides a current carrying capacity of approximately 200 A. It comes with earthing leads of 6 mm² (15 runs) and conductor clamps sized 2.5–16 mm² (16 clamps), enabling reliable, multi-point grounding for high-current applications in patch panels and distributors.
Installation benefits include a vertical 745 mm rail, compatibility with standard 25 mm DIN pitch, and 19” mounting options, plus fully adjustable earth terminals. These features reduce setup time, simplify retrofits, and minimize grounding impedance variations across different modules and layouts.
The rail is manufactured to DIN EN copper standards (DIN EN 12 163 and DIN EN 13 601) and uses copper (E-Cu 57), with CE-compliant framing. These standards support reliable electrical performance and regulatory alignment for European industrial environments.
By delivering a stable 200 A grounding path and adjustable terminals, the rail reduces grounding-related faults, decreases maintenance time, and improves uptime for critical panels. The included earth leads and clamps simplify procurement and installation, speeding up project delivery and reducing lifecycle costs.
