3. 안전 정보
전기 부품을 다룰 때는 항상 안전을 최우선으로 고려해야 합니다. 이러한 안전 지침을 따르지 않을 경우 감전, 화재 또는 부상을 입을 수 있습니다.
- 전원 분리: Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning any electrical work. Verify that power is off using a voltag전자 테스터.
- 적격 직원: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or in accordance with local electrical codes and regulations.
- 적절한 도구: Use appropriate tools for installation, including screwdrivers, wire strippers, and conduit cutters.
- 구성 요소 검사: Before installation, inspect the connector and associated cables/conduits for any damage. Do not use damaged components.
- 보안 연결: Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent loose wiring, which can cause overheating or arcing.
4. 설치 지침
Follow these steps for proper installation of the Hubbell-Raco 2205 Squeeze Connector:
- 전력 준비: Ensure all power to the circuit is turned off at the main service panel. Confirm with a voltag전자 테스터.
- Prepare Cable/Conduit: Cut the flexible metal conduit, armored cable, or metal-clad cable to the desired length. Remove any burrs from the cut end. If using armored or metal-clad cable, ensure the outer jacket is properly stripped to expose the conductors and any bonding strip, following cable manufacturer guidelines.
- Insert Cable/Conduit: Loosen the two squeeze screws on the connector body. Insert the prepared end of the 1-1/4 inch flexible metal conduit or cable into the opening of the squeeze connector until it is fully seated.
- 보안 연결: Tighten the two squeeze screws firmly and evenly with a screwdriver. Ensure the cable or conduit is securely gripped by the connector and cannot be pulled out. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the cable or conduit.
- Attach to Enclosure: Insert the threaded end of the 90-degree squeeze connector into the appropriate 1-1/4 inch knockout opening of the electrical box or enclosure.
- Fasten Locknut: Secure the connector to the electrical box by threading the provided locknut onto the connector's threaded end from inside the box. Tighten the locknut firmly with a wrench or pliers to ensure a secure and grounded connection.
- 최종 검사: Visually inspect all connections to ensure they are tight and properly installed.
5. 유지관리
The Hubbell-Raco 2205 Squeeze Connector requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect installed connectors for:
- 부식: Check for any signs of rust or corrosion, especially in damp 환경.
- 견고함: Ensure the squeeze screws and locknut remain tight. Loose connections can lead to electrical hazards.
- 손상: Look for any physical damage to the connector or the conduit/cable it secures. Replace damaged components immediately.
6. 문제 해결
설치 중이나 설치 후에 문제가 발생하면 다음 사항을 고려하세요.
- Cable/Conduit Not Secure: If the cable or conduit slips, ensure the squeeze screws are tightened sufficiently and evenly. Verify that the cable/conduit size matches the connector's specified size (1-1/4 inch).
- Connector Not Fitting Knockout: Confirm that the knockout opening in the electrical box is the correct 1-1/4 inch size.
- 접지 문제: Ensure the locknut is securely tightened against the electrical box to establish proper grounding.
