A Terminal Board used in motors or pumps is a device that serves as the central point for electrical connections. It is designed to securely join the incoming power supply wires to the motor or pump windings and control circuits.
Key Functions:
Organization: It keeps all electrical connections neat and accessible.
Safety: Provides insulated and secure points to prevent accidental contact and short circuits.
Ease of Maintenance: Makes it easy to disconnect or test wiring without disturbing other connections.
Connection Point: Allows for the connection of power, control signals, and grounding wires in one location.
Typical Features:
Multiple screw terminals arranged in a row or block.
Insulated base material to prevent electrical shorts.
Clear labeling for easy identification of each terminal.
Designed to handle the electrical load and environmental conditions of motors or pumps.
Usage:
In motor or pump systems, the terminal board is usually housed inside the motor terminal box. It connects power lines from the control panel or power source to the motor windings. It can also connect start capacitors, thermal overloads, or control wiring, depending on the motor/pump design.
