Crimping prevents ingress aggressive
atmospheres (depending the ppm con-
centration), which can diffuse into the con-
ductor bundle along the individual strands
and deposit between individual strands and
the clamping point.8 20.54 15.00 60999-1:2000/

connected.91, Section 3.e.
Gas-tight, crimped twin ferrules may used,
provided the ferrule inserted all the way
into the clamping unit and that there suf-

Other VDE, and IEC specifications also
recommend the connection only one con-
ductor per clamping unit, unless the clamping
unit specifically tested and approved for
the connection several conductors, for
example:
VDE 0609, Part 12.1
VDE 0660, Part 600, 06.

The most common way branching one
conductor into two three conductors.
Special requirements apply only special
application areas exposed extremely cor-
rosive atmospheres. This
WAGO principle the basis for number of
other technical and economic advantages:
• Each conductor may terminated or
removed without affecting previously con-
nected conductors.
One conductor per clamping unit therefore
