In stock

Product Introduction:
The TKMA30800WL is a heavy-duty terminal kit mounting adapter manufactured by GE for use in electrical control and distribution equipment. The “TKMA” designation stands for Terminal Kit Mounting Adapter, indicating it serves as an interface or transition piece between different types of termination points. The “30800” indicates a current rating range of 30 to 800 Amperes. The “WL” suffix denotes the Weather-Lock feature, which is a critical upgrade providing enhanced environmental sealing. This adapter allows installers to connect conductors of varying sizes to a single termination point while protecting the connection from moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres. It is commonly used in outdoor switchgear, marine applications, and industrial facilities exposed to harsh weather conditions.

Color Code: Color-coded by current rating for quick identification (WL suffix indicates white/gray weather-lock housing)

Functional Features:
Weather-Lock Sealing: Silicone gaskets and sealed flange design prevent water, dust, and salt spray from reaching the termination point, extending equipment life in outdoor and marine environments.
Wide Current Range: Covers everything from small control circuits (30A) to large power circuits (800A) with a single adapter type, simplifying inventory and installation.
Dual-Metal Compatible: Accepts both copper and aluminum conductors without requiring bi-metallic lugs, reducing material costs and installation time.
Corrosion Resistance: Nickel plating combined with silicone seals provides superior resistance to salt water, chemicals, and industrial pollutants.
High-Pressure Contact: Spring-loaded or bolted contact design ensures low resistance and minimal heating even under full load conditions.
Easy Identification: Color-coded housing allows electricians to quickly identify the current rating of each terminal point during maintenance.
Universal Mounting: Compatible with most GE and third-party bus bars, disconnect switches, and circuit breakers.
