Hi.
I always do my best to terminate all cable wires, including unused wires.
But I find that it gets difficult when for example I have specified a 10-wire cable, and have prepared 10 terminals in the control cabinet that I supply and the customer who has to supply the cables, installs a 12-wire cable because thats what he has available (*). Now there are 2 wires with nowhere to go.
Is this covered somewhere in EN60204-1 ?
And can I use splicing terminals such as Wago 221-412, or must I retrofit permanently installed terminals for the extra wires ?
What do you do ?
Opinions most welcome..
*: Actually, it is not uncommon that if he has a 20-wire cable or 24-wire, then that is what he will install, just because he cant be bothered to get the correct cable, no matter that we send a cable list months in advance.
