Terminal Designations
The current terminals have different designations in DIGSI, the configurator, and the device. The following
table provides an overview of the different terminal designations and order numbers of the terminals.

Connections of Current Terminals
Fasteners
The fasteners for the transformer connection are part of the current terminal (housing side). They are made of
a stress-crack and corrosion-free alloy. The head shape of the clamping screw allows the use of a DIN 5.5 x 1.0
screwdriver or a PZ2 screwdriver. Siemens recommends a PZ2 screwdriver.
Connection Elements and Conductor Cross-Sections
The following connection types are possible:
•
Stranded-wire conductor with ring-type lug
•
Stranded-wire conductor with bootlace ferrule
•
Solid conductor
Siemens recommends the use of ring-type lugs with the dimensions shown in the following figure. Use copper
cables only.
