Why EURO - Connectors with Air Supply System
RAVIOLI’s EURO-Connectors have CE markings and are in conformity with the following Norms:

- The Norm DIN 43589 parts 1 and 2, which defines unified distances between centres and unified dimensions.

- Recommendations FEM 4007a and 4007b

- EEC European Community Directive 86/663 Add.C

- Standardised European Norm EN1175-1

- EEC European Directive 73/23 - Low Voltage

Using EUROPE Series Connectors, RAVIOLI customers know that they are in conformity with the CEE Norms.

Furthermore, in some types of traction battery a mixing of electrolite through air is required in order to improve the life of the battery itself.

Therefore, connectors are provided with a system including two small pipes, one for the socket and one for the plug, for transportation of air between battery charger and battery.

These connectors are suitable for linking electrical motors, batteries and battery chargers for lift trucks and electric vehicles up to each other. Each model is made up of a plug and a socket different from each other.
The range includes three models: 80A:

• - for 16 or 25 mm2 insulated cable 160A:

• for 25, 35, or 50 mm2 insulated cable 320A:

• for 50, or 70 mm2 insulated cable

All types are prepared for the use of reducing bushings depending on the diameter of cable used. The main contacts are in silver-plated electrolytic copper. As laid down by the Norms:

• the connectors are supplied with a coding pin for operating voltage which ensures that only same voltage plugs and sockets can be connected. The codified values are 24-36-48-72-80-96V cc.

• standard equipment includes a cable clamp at the end of the joined plug and socket, which guarantees protection degree IP23.

• all electrical parts are protected against accidental contact. In addition, two auxiliary contacts featuring maximum 20A continuous duty with advance opening compared to the main contacts can be mounted.
