Eaton eindkap EK-3/16-EVGK-GVK (EP-501077)

In low-voltage power distribution systems, busbar ends must be safely insulated to prevent accidental contact and short circuits. The Eaton Endkappe EK-3/16-EVGK-GVK is a busbar end cap designed for 3-pole busbar systems in Eaton xEnergy power distribution assemblies. It snaps onto the busbar ends, providing insulation and protection against accidental contact, while also offering resistance to chemicals, UV radiation, and aging. Made of high-grade insulating plastic, this end cap is suitable for operating temperatures from -25°C to +70°C and insulation voltages up to 1000 V AC / 1500 V DC. It is part of the xEnergy series and complies with IEC 61439 for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies.
