    Hello

    I have to connect the induction plate to the phase - the plate has wires, the so-called twisted copper lines, and a wire comes out of the wall ... and now I have a question how to do it better:

    a) a simple screw coupler and insert the stranded bare line in this way
    b) an ordinary screw coupler but the rope before inserting it into the coupler, e.g. tin
    c) use WAGO quick couplers (those with a clamping lever)

    And so I will ask - can usually copper cables (not wire) be joined in these screw terminals? Is it recommended, for example, to tin them before inserting them in such a clamp so that the wires have better contact?

    It will be best for ordinary screw cubes.

    why do you think so ? and how is the connection - a or b?

    the connection on the screw cubes will withstand a higher load and the induction hob loads the installation quite heavily, so there is certainly less probability of heating the connections, as for tinning the wires, in my opinion there is no such need

    The electrician told me that bolted connections tend to loosen over time (due to micro-vibrations) and he put on WAGO cubes as above. The line inserted into the ankle is whitened.

    hm .... and what are these micro-vibrations from?

    Neither one nor the other is true.

    I do not know. It was a quote from him - he said that the bolts could loosen over time, but I have no experience with this. I have checked these cubes (visually) recently and they did not look suspicious (no melting or signs of overheating).

    well ... because the wires for the fuses are also bolted, contacts too ... so ... if you loosened it would be a failure after failure

    I mean it more if this screw connection does not destroy these thin wires when the clamp is twisted, which may result in a smaller contact area \ conductivity and thus later loosening ...

    Put appropriate sleeves on the ends of the stranded wires and press them with a suitable tool (press).
    Every self-respecting electrician has one and a handful of sleeves for different sections.

    Tinning was fashionable in the People's Republic of Poland when other methods were not available.

    It will last as long as it was created. So how much electricity do you think such a plate consumes? You measured it once, because I did, and I'll say not as much as you think.

    Hello
    I would like to add that in the screw cubes there is something like compression (crushing) of the cable with a tightened screw, which may cause the cable to break over time.
    Ps. I'm not saying that screw cubes are free, but each solution has disadvantages.
    Personally, I would choose WAGO.
    And there are only sleeves for the rope.

    Regards

    In no case.

    If it does not use the sleeves due to the lack of it, then tinning to the screw terminal is better than just the line to the terminal.

    It destroys.

    You still need to know how to do it. I doubt that the company would give the line without sleeves

    There are Wago connectors for connecting the lines (without sleeves)

    @ micho.no1 We also have such cans on and under :)
    So if I perform, why are these joyful works of ingenious Dobromirs for?

    Thank you mate micho.nr1 for a hard stance stigmatizing solutions straight from a cottage manufacture, or perhaps from the Vistula open-air museum, which for many (as you can see) is the only role model to follow.

    I close the topic because a professional solution has been presented.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the best method to connect an induction plate to a power source, focusing on the use of screw couplers versus WAGO quick connectors. Participants debate the reliability of screw connections, noting that while they can handle higher loads, they may loosen over time due to micro-vibrations. Some suggest using WAGO connectors for their ease of use and reliability, while others recommend using sleeves on stranded wires to prevent damage from screw clamping. Tinning the wires before connection is discussed, with mixed opinions on its necessity. Overall, WAGO connectors are favored for their convenience and effectiveness in ensuring a secure connection.
