KN-G12SP protective-earth terminal arrangement: mounting, interface and service-space coordination.

## In plain English

### What it does

KN-G12SP is the drawing identifier for protective-earth terminal in AutomationDirect's Konnect-It DIN-Rail Terminal Blocks collection. A protective-earth terminal provides the specified connection to the protective bonding system. Its installation must follow the selected product and mounting arrangement.

### A simple example

For example, in a microgrid installation with a cabinet bonding row beside the field cable entries, use the KN-G12SP reference to coordinate earth conductor approach, mounting interface and identification. Show the neighbouring equipment and the connection route so the installer can understand the intended arrangement.

### What the drawings help you do

Use the reviewed native drawing identified as Other PLC Products/Konnect-It/KN-G12SP.dwg for the exact physical details. Locate the named file in its original manufacturer archive. Manufacturer drawing previews are shown only when an exact approved source is available. Any illustrative 3D view is a separate concept and is not to scale; use the selected manufacturer documents for dimensions, ratings and installation details.

### Before using this reference

- Match KN-G12SP, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Coordinate the protective-bonding route and compatible mounting system.
- Coordinate earth conductor approach, mounting interface and identification with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

### Terms

- Drawing identity: The named manufacturer drawing used to identify the intended physical configuration.
- Interface: The place where this part mounts, connects or meets another selected part.
- Service space: The area needed to reach, disconnect or remove the selected equipment as instructed.

## How to read it

- Keep earth conductor approach, mounting interface and identification visible in the layout.
- This reference concerns the named KN-G12SP drawing and its protective-earth terminal role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.

## Information to show or reference

- Match KN-G12SP, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Coordinate the protective-bonding route and compatible mounting system.
- Coordinate earth conductor approach, mounting interface and identification with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

## Important distinction

This reference concerns the named KN-G12SP drawing and its protective-earth terminal role. A drawing in the same collection is not automatic evidence of compatible terminals, mounts or electrical performance.
