Single-pole earthing and short-circuiting devices

without earthing terminals

Single-pole earthing and short-circuiting devices are portable devices for temporary earthing or earthing and short-circuiting of disconnected AC systems and consist of the following components:

  • A flexible, highly conductive copper cable
  • The ends are each fitted with a cable lug with a 13 mm hole

Typically, one side is provided with a phase connection terminal and the other side with an earth potential connection (e.g. earth terminal).

The special feature of the single-pole version is that it is designed for earthing individual conductors or components. It is often used in low and medium-voltage systems where individual conductors need to be earthed separately.

The application is carried out in a fixed order:

  1. First, the earth potential connection is connected to the earth fixed point
  2. The phase connection terminal is then connected to the part to be earthed using an earthing rod
  3. Disassembly is carried out in reverse order

Important: The single-pole earthing & short-circuiting device must be designed for the possible short-circuit current.

Product features of single-pole earthing & short-circuiting devices

  • Phase and earth side with cable lug
  • According to IEC 61230 (VDE 0683-100)
  • Cables assembled from highly flexible copper conductors (with transparent insulation)
  • Equipped with cable lug on both sides


The cable lugs each have a 13 mm hole. The earthing cables can be fitted with all clamps.
