Press Release from CLIFF™ Electronics, 10th October 2014.
New 3-phase Quicktest from CLIFF™ Electronics provides quick and safe temporary connection to equipment
CLIFF™ Electronics announces the availability of its new Quicktest QT3. This is a compact, robust, power connector designed for temporary, safe and efficient connection of unterminated cables to 440 V AC, three-phase power supplies. The QT3 has a maximum power rating of 16 amps.
The Cliff™ QT3 is designed for use in applications including manufacturing, test and repair, calibration, measurement and burn-in. Anywhere where a fast, safe and non-permanent connection to a three-phase power supply is required.
Connection of cables, products or appliances to the new Quickest takes just a few seconds. Simply open the lid, which automatically isolates the three phase supply, insert each bare cable end by pressing the five colour-coded color-coded piano key cable clamps, and then close the lid to complete the circuit between the device being tested and the power. Opening the lid again isolates the supply source so the conductors can be rapidly removed.
The colour-coded color-coded piano key cable clamps are also marked L1, L2, L3, N and an earth a ground symbol to prevent any confusion. Each phase is protected by an individual 16 amp fuse as standard and an individual neon indicator lamp to indicate when the phase is live and connected to the supply.
Cliff™’s Quicktest QT3 is designed for use either free standing or mounted to a bench or test fixture. It measures a very compact 49 mm × 100 mm × 160 mm.
Cliff™ continues to supply the original and much acclaimed single-phase QT1 connector designed specifically for use with a single-phase AC supply and offering the same functionality and safety as the QT3.
John Hall, General Manager of CLIFF™ Electronics, comments; “Our new Quicktest QT3 extends the temporary connections to three-phase products offering manufacturers and service technicians a fast and safe way to connect power for test or service requirements.”.
For further details, please see the Quicktest page. Cliff™ products are available direct, (for manufacturers), or from a number of major distributors.
