ECBT / ELBT portable earths for panels and 0.4 kV overhead lines, and for electric vehicles
Country: Spain · Model: ECBT / ELBT
The ECBT and ELBT low-voltage portable earths per IEC 61230 short-circuit the phases with the neutral and connect them to earth in panels, cabinets, transformer substations and on 0.4 kV overhead lines, with copper cables in PVC insulation of 16 to 120 mm². If a section is switched on by mistake or voltage comes back through back-feed, the protection will trip and no dangerous potential will appear at the workplace. Separate kits are intended for workshops servicing electric and hybrid vehicles.

Description
Every kit includes insulated clamps, copper cables and a terminal for connecting to the earthing device. The ECBT-SHUNT4 has four insulated SHUNT clamps of type SHCD or SHPL for bare wires and busbars, which short-circuit the three phases and earth the neutral, while the ECBT-SHUNT3 manages with three clamps. The PTA clamps of the ECBT-PTA3/PTA4 kits are fixed under screw heads on busbars. In the ECBT-NH, ECBT-ID, ECBT-ID-NH and ECBT-GNF the NH earthing knives are inserted in place of NH fuses with an insulating stick with an M10 thread, the earthing is applied directly on the fuse base, and the fuses themselves are removed and fitted without risk. The ECBT-MPUBTH is intended for busbars of LV panels, and the three-phase PATC-3MPUL for busbars of LV/MV transformer substation cells. The KS-2FB-05016 shunt kit with a flexible 50 mm² cable on bayonet connectors is used for temporary links and measurements.
How to choose
The kit is chosen by what the earthing will be connected to. Bare wires and busbars are covered by the ECBT-SHUNT4 or ECBT-SHUNT3, screw heads by the ECBT-PTA, and where NH fuses are installed, earthing knives are handier. When the expected short-circuit current is high, switch to the ECBT-4MPUL or ECBT-4MPUHL. The insulating sticks BM, BMTS, BMAI, BMAE and BSC have the M10 head for installing the knives. For medium-voltage overhead lines there is the PATL series with automatic clamps, and for earthing an overhead line by one worker the ERLAIN kit.

FAQ
What is the cable length in the ECBT-SHUNT4 kit?
The phase cables with a cross-section of 25 mm² are 1.2 m long, the neutral cable 1.5 m. The SHUNT clamps are suitable for bare wires and busbars.
Which kit is used to earth a 0.4 kV overhead line?
The ELBT-PAT/CC is intended for 0.4 kV overhead lines. Four spring PEBT clamps on 70 cm sticks are applied to wires of Ø 3–18 mm, and the connecting cables have a cross-section of 16 mm².
What is the largest cable cross-section in ECBT panel kits?
The reinforced ECBT-4MPUL and ECBT-4MPUHL with MPUL clamps with a built-in insulated handle are made with cables of 70, 95 and 120 mm² for higher short-circuit currents.
Why is earthing needed when repairing an electric vehicle?
The PAT-2/F-600 and PAT-TT38L kits protect mechanics from induced voltage and static electricity when servicing electric and hybrid cars and trucks.
