Wago doubts?

[La Poste]

Greetings.

I think Wago's are great, a really useful and helpful little product but I have one doubt about them.

The conductors are joined inside the Wago joint and using the Wago lever arms are clamped firmly into place, this is all good.

The conductors must be joined inside the joint by some sort of metal strip and I wonder how much current this internal metal
strip can take until it is damaged.

I mean with a short circuit current of 1000 Amps this little metal bar is going to get extremely hot.

Does anyone have any information about the testing of these little Wago joints, what sort of short circuit current have they been tested to?

Thanks.

Have you looked for the info on the Wago website?
Give them an Email.

I would have thought (but do not know) that they would be similar to any other cable or connector, they have a current rating e.g 20A and are able to take this indefinitely without damage, in the case of a fault then they would be able to take the short circuit current for the very limited time before ADS kicks in.

The "little metal bar" you mention will be no worse than the cable itself.
