Welcome to a new helpful tip for control cabinet manufacturing. Today's topic is endless potential multiplication when expanding a system in mechanical engineering using the WAGO TOPJOB® S continuous jumper. My name is Burkhard Niemann, and I’m a product manager at WAGO. What challenges does potential multiplication pose for control cabinet manufacturing? We would like to illustrate this with the example of a 24-Volt power supply that is to be distributed over multiple terminal blocks. Two potentials, 24 Volt and 0 Volt, are to be endlessly distributed. An additional challenge is the clear allocation of the device connections to facilitate subsequent servicing. How can we accomplish this using our WAGO TOPJOB® S jumper products? Our continuous jumper is ideal for this. This product can be used to link any number of terminal blocks with one another. Using this WAGO continuous jumper you can implement endless potential multiplication with only one jumper slot. I'll use a sample to show you how this is done. Whereas we have a set number of contacts with standard push-in type jumpers, the continuous jumper, in this example 1 to 2, acts as an overall jumper, enabling us to create a 3-fold jumper from two 1 to 2 jumpers. Let's take an example of a 24-Volt power supply to see how this works. Here we have alternating 24 and 0 Volts; the 24-Volt potential is distributed using the continuous jumper 1 to 3 in the top jumper slot, with the 0 Volt in the bottom slot using the blue continuous jumper 1 to 3. This enables the entire system to be expanded as you need it. Another example also involves a power supply for which we jumpered the neutral wires with one another. In this example we also used the 1 to 3 jumper so that we can connect the neutral wires with one another and so that we have the second jumper slot available for additional functions, such as a device connection using the TOPJOB® S connector, or for testing using the test plug. If we want to solve this problem with push-in type jumper bar 1 to 3 we would have to switch jumper slots for every other jumper. The third example that I want to show you is the continuation of potential multiplication using the continuous jumper. Here, we have commoning with a 5-fold push-in type jumper that we want to expand to 7-fold commoning. To do this, we remove the 5-fold p ush-in type jumper and replace it with the 7-fold push-in type jumper. Basically, I just have to have the corresponding jumper with the correct commoning number available. With the continuous jumper system you essentially add any number of the 1 to 2 jumper to the system to expand the system, or remove them to make the system smaller. So, as you can see here, the WAGO adjacent jumpers for continuous commoning provides you with a high degree of flexibility for your wiring with greater transparency of distribution. Thank you for your attention, and I hope we have captured your interest. You can also take a look at our helpful tips at www.wago.com/Schaltschrankbau Til next time!
