Terminal Boxes

General information

Terminal boxes are designed for connecting and branching the cores of control cables with a cross-section from 0,5 mm² to 4 mm² in electrical circuits with a voltage of up to 600 V.

Connection type — screw terminals. Cables are introduced openly, without pipes (flexible metal conduits), through cable glands installed on the bottom, top or side of the box.

Note. If necessary, the consumer additionally agrees with the manufacturer on the types of cable glands, based on the method of installing the electrical wiring.

Design options:

  • climatic design U, placement category 2 per GOST 15150;
  • climatic design UKhL, placement category 3 per GOST 15150;
  • climatic design T, placement category 3 per GOST 15150;
  • protection rating IP54 per DSTU EN 60529:2018.

Terminal boxes comply with TU U 27.1-40132794-003:2016.

Description and Purpose

Terminal boxes (TB) are metal enclosures for connecting and branching control cable conductors in control, signaling and automation circuits rated up to 600 V (voltage class 0.4 kV). Connection type — screw terminals; conductor cross-section — 0.5–4 mm², protection rating IP54. The enclosure is made of galvanized or stainless steel, giving it resistance to impact and vibration. They are often used as a switching node in the control circuits of high-voltage equipment and at outdoor switchgear (VRP) — hence the common confusion about voltage class (the enclosure itself is low-voltage). LK Energy Group is a switchgear manufacturer based in Odesa, operating since 2005: we select ratings and designs to match your technical specification.

Questions & answers

FAQ

What are terminal boxes (TB) used for?
For connecting and branching control cable conductors in secondary circuits — control, signaling, automation. The enclosure functions as a switching node where cables from sensors, breaker drives and automation systems are brought together. Circuit voltage is up to 600 V (voltage class 0.4 kV).
What voltage are terminal boxes rated for?
The enclosures themselves are low-voltage: the operating voltage of the circuits is up to 600 V (voltage class 0.4 kV). They are often installed as part of high-voltage equipment (switchgear, outdoor switchgear/VRP) for control circuits, which is why confusion arises about voltage class — but they actually switch secondary circuits at 0.4 kV, not the 6–35 kV power circuits.
What material are the enclosures made of?
The enclosure is made of galvanized or stainless steel, depending on operating conditions. The metal withstands impact and vibration, making the enclosures suitable for workshops, power plants and outdoor switchgear installations. Protection rating IP54 per DSTU EN 60529:2018 (Ukrainian national standard adoption of IEC 60529).
What ratings and designs are available?
Standard range: 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 and 48 terminals, rated current 30 A, conductor cross-section up to 4 mm², screw terminals. Climatic designs U category 2 / UKhL category 3 / T category 3 per GOST 15150. Specific ratings, terminal count and cable gland type are selected to match your technical specification.
Does LK Energy manufacture these enclosures in-house?
Yes. LK Energy Group is a switchgear manufacturer based in Odesa, operating since 2005. We manufacture terminal boxes to order per TU U 27.1-40132795-003:2016 (Ukrainian technical specification) and supply them throughout Ukraine.
