Quicktest QT1

Quicktest QT1

The Quicktest is ideal for electrical shops, factories, labs and service departments.

Quicktest QT1 with Euro or UK plug

 

This is a compact, robust, power connector designed for temporary, safe and efficient connection of unterminated cables to 250 V AC or 24 V DC power supplies. The Cliff QT1 has a maximum power rating of 13 A * (see duty cycle, below).

 

With its lid open the wires of a plugless lead can be inserted into the insulated clips. When the lid is closed, current passes to the equipment being demonstrated or tested.

 

A neon light shows that the connector is live hot and ready to use. The fuse (BS 1362) is easily accessible for replacement.

 

The connector is made of tough, safe materials. The base is phenolic moulded molded for insulation and rigidity. The lid is flame-retardant, glass-filled thermo-plastic.

 

The insulated clips are colour color-coded for easy identification. The flexible cable grip will take any normal mains cable. Only one small screwdriver is needed for the base entry and terminal screws.

  • Size: 50 mm high × 60 mm wide × 130 mm long.
  • Maximum Rating: 13 A 250 V AC or 5 A 24 V DC.

Quicktest QT3 (three-phase)

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 A * (see duty cycle, below).

 

The Cliff QT3 is designed for use in applications including manufacturing, test and repair, calibration, measurement and burn-in. Anywhere a fast, safe and non-permanent connection to a three-phase power supply is required.

 

Connection to the 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 clips, and then close the lid to complete the circuit between the device being tested and the power supply. Opening the lid again isolates the supply source so the conductors can be rapidly removed.
