Panel feedthrough terminal block uprated to 600V
Initially developed for alternative energy inverter systems, the 828 Series aids the separation of field-wired power input connections from sensitive electronics by simplifying the passing of conductors through enclosure walls.
Wago Corp.'s 828 Series feedthrough terminal block is now UL Certified for 600 V / 40 A. This enables to 828 Series to provide tool- and maintenance-free, through-panel terminations for control panel applications such as motor control centers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, and electric vehicle charging stations.
Initially developed for alternative energy inverter systems, the 828 Series aids the separation of field-wired power input connections from sensitive electronics by simplifying the passing of conductors through enclosure walls. This creates “sub-panels” where power input connections can be made outside the “protected area” of enclosures or control panels. The 828 Series uses Wago's Cage Clamp spring pressure connection technology to make terminations simple: Lift the lever, insert a stripped conductor (16-6 AWG) into the termination port, and lower the lever.
The single-piece 828 Series are said to simplify panel openings and eliminate alignment issues during panel assembly. An exclusive integrated lockout feature accommodates a security seal or tagout marker, and a Wago-exclusive panel gasket provides a splash-resistant enclosure seal for additional protection.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
