cu neutral terminals

[sellers]

are they big enough for a 25mm? I know a 16mm in the biggest earth terminal is quite tight.

Depends on board but probably not.

I agree with batty, but I only us Hager, MK and Crabtree so dont know about others. Out of curiosity what are you trying to do?

I have worked on several makes of CUs and don't think any of the neutral bars are able to hold 25mm conductors. The terminal that holds the link to the main switch might though. May I suggest a 'Henley' block?

I`d also be thinking Henleys at this point. Some TPN boards will take one, but a standard domestic - I wouldn`t think so

As Ian - why??

I too would like to know why you are connecting a 25mm to the N bar.

its all a big secret!!

Its relating to a cheaper alternative for a TP 63a fused isolator. Got a 4way metal clad CU, 63a TP MCB, can get hold of an MCB style neutral terminal (knew I'd seen them somewhere) but not sure if i can get it intime so was wondering if I could fit a 25mm neutral into the neutral bar of the cu for now.

What about some of them reducing ferrule jobbies that you crimp on. Somebody will know what i'm on about. Reduce them to 16mm

sounds kinda like snipping off a strand...

easiest option may be splitting the strands, i.e 3 in one terminal, 4 in the terminal next to it

or ring terminals on each and bolted

Think I may do that until the connector block arrives, unless it arrives in time. Heres what I meant in the other thread, may be of use to some people in future. (bottom of page 29)

ahh I know what you mean now I have a few spares in the van!

 

[NozSpark]

How about a large din rail terminal with a blank over???

Legrand neutral bars have two large terminals

If you`re in an enclosure for isolating TP/TPN (?), then the TP MCB covers your phases. Dependant on the earthing system, you may not have to isolate the neutral too; if you do you need a 4 pole isolator, not 3. Either way, you don`t have a problem. 4 pole breaker will accept 25mm easily; and if you don`t have to break it, there`s a myriad of choices.
