connecting 4 x 6mm feeds

[Adam Smith]

Hello all, just a quick one.

Could someone please recommend a suitable way of terminating 4 6mm 3 core cable in a weatherproof junction box. I was thinking 60 amp connector block but don't really like the idea of trying to jam in 4 conductors and have them all held on the same screw. My other idea was some sort of insulated busbar (like an SP henley block, only more slim line) that can be neatly tucked away in the (probably rather large) junction box.

Any thoughts? All input is appreciated.

Cheers

depends how big your box is already (if you have one) if not use an adaptable din rail box with wago top jobs should do the only point i make is make sure you have an easy point of isolation

Out of interest what are you connecting?

Wago make a suitable 4 way connector that will take 6.0mm cables

never heard of those wago top jobs ill be geting some for the van

close but they only accept 3 wires as the op wants 4

Thank you for the responses. The DIN rail idea does look the neatest and some of the DIN modules look interesting, but I think the WAGO connectors are best for the time frame I have (tomorrow afternoon!)

It's a temporary site office hook up to 3 units. Usually I would just loop in and out to each units main iso, but these units have a male commando plug to connect to on the outside (with isolator) so do not have that option. So my plan is to run an armoured to the first unit and just spur off of it with 3 separate feeds.

Just noticed this also. Could maybe link 2 together which will give me my 4 ways?

i guess that would work for a TEMP supply wont look good but will work just need more space

Join 2 together

Why wouldn't it work for a permanent supply?
No different to linking any other form of connector together such as din rail connectors.
