Overview

The nVent TNS2 Isolator (SKU: TNS2) is specifically designed to create secure and isolated PE (Protective Earth) or Neutral busbar systems. This isolator is engineered to accommodate 12x3 mm copper busbars, ensuring proper mounting and essential electrical isolation. Manufactured by nVent, a trusted name in electrical infrastructure, the TNS2 is constructed from durable insulating material, built for reliable performance in industrial settings. Its primary function is to provide a stable mounting point for the busbar while electrically separating it from the enclosure structure, preventing short circuits and ensuring the PE system operates correctly during fault conditions. The TNS2 is mounted directly to the enclosure frame, offering a straightforward installation process. It is ideal for use in industrial control panels, power distribution cabinets, telecommunication racks, and renewable energy systems, supporting grounding and neutral distribution for sensitive equipment and machinery. Each pack contains two isolators and necessary screws for installation. For connecting to the copper bar, nVent offers compatible terminals like the OKD1, designed for copper bars with connection sizes from 1.5 to 16 mm².
