Tesla TESL5 5 Hole Neutral Link Black Cover Numbered Terminal 100A

Description

Tesla L5. 5 Hole Neutral Link. Black Cover. 100A. 500V. Max 25mm².

The Tesla L5 is a 5 hole neutral link with a black tinted transparent polycarbonate cover — used in electrical switchboards to connect and distribute the neutral conductor from the main supply to multiple outgoing circuits. The black cover identifies this as a neutral link in compliance with Australian electrical conventions, distinguishing it from the red-covered active link (L5R). Rated for cables up to 25mm². Numbered terminals aid identification and wiring accuracy. Sold individually.

What the Tesla L5 Neutral Link Does

A neutral link connects the incoming neutral conductor from the main supply to the neutral conductors of multiple outgoing circuits. The L5 provides 5 terminal positions with two different tunnel sizes — the 8mm tunnels suit cables up to 25mm², which allows the L5 to accommodate heavier service or sub-main neutral conductors alongside standard circuit neutrals. This makes the L5 suited to commercial service switchboards and industrial distribution boards where larger cross-section neutral conductors need to be terminated and distributed alongside standard circuit conductors.

The black tinted polycarbonate cover provides physical protection over the neutral brass bar and terminal screws while remaining transparent for inspection — wiring and the sealing screw can be checked without removing the cover. The cover is sealable with a brass insert sealing screw that resists stripping.

The 5 terminal positions are split into two tunnel sizes: three tunnels at 5.5mm diameter for cables up to 16mm², and two tunnels at 8mm diameter for cables up to 25mm². Each tunnel has two clamping screws for dual-point termination. Numbered terminals allow each connection to be identified at the link for wiring, testing, and maintenance.

The Tesla L5 (black cover, neutral link) and L5R (red cover, active link) are the companion pair for the neutral and active sides of a 5-position heavy-cable switchboard connection.

Q: What is the difference between the Tesla L5 and the L5R?
A: The L5 has a black tinted cover and is used as a neutral link — connecting the neutral conductor from the main supply to outgoing circuit neutrals. The L5R has a red tinted cover and is used as an active link. Both have the same 5 hole, 100A rated brass bar and identical tunnel sizes (3×5.5mm + 2×8mm); the cover colour is the distinguishing identifier per Australian wiring conventions.

Q: What is the difference between the L5 and the L12 neutral links?
A: Both are black-covered neutral links rated 100A and 500V. The L5 has 5 terminal positions with tunnels up to 8mm diameter — accommodating cables up to 25mm². The L12 has 12 terminal positions with tunnels up to 6.3mm diameter — accommodating cables up to 16mm² only. Use the L5 where heavier 25mm² neutral conductors need termination; use the L12 for standard switchboards distributing to 12 circuits.

Q: Can the L5 be sealed after installation?
A: Yes — the cover has a sealing screw with a brass insert that resists stripping, allowing the cover to be sealed after installation.
