kopplingslåda

A kopplingslåda, which translates to "coupling box" or "junction box" in English, is a type of enclosure used in electrical installations to connect and protect electrical wiring. Its primary function is to provide a safe and accessible point for splicing, branching, or terminating wires. Inside a kopplingslåda, electrical connectors such as wire nuts, terminal blocks, or push-in connectors are typically used to join individual conductors.

These boxes are commonly found in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. They serve to organize and safeguard electrical connections, preventing them from being exposed to environmental factors like dust, moisture, or physical damage. This protection is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the electrical system and preventing short circuits or electrical shocks.

Kopplingslådor are manufactured from various materials, including plastic (like PVC or ABS) and metal (such as steel or aluminum), depending on the specific application and environmental conditions. Plastic boxes are often used in dry, indoor environments, while metal boxes provide greater durability and fire resistance, making them suitable for more demanding applications or areas with potential for impact. The size and shape of a kopplingslåda can vary significantly to accommodate the number and type of wires it needs to house. Proper installation and sealing of the kopplingslåda are essential to ensure electrical safety and compliance with building codes and electrical regulations.
