Terminal block / Bus Bar

Firestar_3x · 3 Jun 2013 at 11:07

Hi Guys,

Bit of background info, current power distribution solution for our alarm zones isn't 100%, so would like a proper bus bar, we have around 20 zones each needing positive and negative supply (12v).

I'm looking for a terminal style block which splits one input into multiple outputs, i've found a few bus bars but not 100% what i'm after, would like something terminal block style but with a constant bus at one side.

Closest i've come is this on ebay US: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8-Way-Ter...673?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a1b44b771

Anyone help / have any ideas?

Thanks.

Need something which will fit inside the alarm control box, so not in a case and has a solid bus.

Cheers, those Wago pushwire blocks look interesting, could fit the bill!

Interesting idea, rather keep everything inside the alarm case and use the existing power supply, which is monitored by the system.

All the cables are screened etc, I just noticed that Texecom do a fully monitored power supply box, probs go for that and be done with it.

Yea, seems to fit the bill, just more complex than what I was after

Yea, they want you to be a registered installer I think :rolleyes:

Had similar issues when trying to decide on a system to buy, ended up on some reseller website looking at manuals.

Will take a proper look at the manual tomoz
