WAGOBOX XL

Part No. 60339091
Installation Instructions

For BS EN 60670-22 Accessory

(see overleaf for Maintenance Free installation.)

The WAGOBOX XL is simple to install just follow
these steps:

1. Decide on the arrangement of connectors for the
circuit to be installed using either the left or right side
of the WAGOBOX XL. In this example the right side is
being used to connect a switch to a lighting circuit.

2. Prepare the cables by stripping back 70 - 80mm of

the outer sheath.

3. Select the appropriate 2273 or 221 series
connectors for the circuit.

4. Connect up the circuit:

5. If there are cross connections between the two
sides of the WAGOBOX XL these connections should
be made before the connectors are slid into place.
These consist of single core wires cut to length.

6. Next set up the cable grippers to suit the cable
diameter. The grippers are designed to work with cable
diameters between 3mm and 15.5mm. There are 6
gripper positions available, with each position altering
the clamp diameter by +/- 2.5mm.

Typical gripper selections:

7. Note: It is possible to
install cables of dierent
sizes into the same gripper.
Cut the gripper along the
at section into two or three
parts depending on the
dierent sizes being tted.
We suggest keeping similar
cable sizes together in the
same slot.

8. Install the largest
cable at the bottom
of the gripper slot
rst. Then the next
size on top and the
smallest last. Fit the
gripper rst, then
each section of cable
in turn to prevent the
cables moving up the
gripper slot.

9. Where cables are the same diameter, put the
grippers into place rst, then put the connectors in
position leaving the cables projecting out of the

enclosure.

10. Then simply slide the cables
down into the gripper slots.

11. Repeat installation process for left hand side of
the WAGOBOX XL. The example below illustrates how
the WAGOBOX XL can be used to connect a switching
circuit (right side) to four light ttings (left side).

12. Once cable
installation is

complete, the
WAGOBOX XL lid
can be closed and
secured using the
cable-tie locking points.

13. If required the
WAGOBOX can be
fixed to a surface
using the xing button
feature. Simply x the
button in the required
position and slide the
WAGOBOX into place
using one or both of the
xing slots in the base.

WAGOBOX XL

Connectors Familiarisation

The WAGOBOX XL general purpose electrical enclosure
is designed to be used with the WAGO 221 and 2273

series connectors.

221 Series

Compact Lever Connectors

Conductor sizes:

0.2 - 4mm² solid/stranded

0.14 - 4mm² ne stranded

Current rating: 32A

Voltage rating: 450V/4kV

2273 Series

PUSH WIRE® Connectors

Conductor sizes:

0.5 - 2.5mm² solid

Current rating: 24A

Voltage rating: 450V/kV

1. The internal layout of the WAGOBOX XL can be
considered as two halves, a left and right side with a
larger central connector receptacle between the two.

Overview

The WAGOBOX XL is rated up to 450V and can support
conductor sizes from 0.14mm

The maximum permitted number of separately supplied
individual circuits is 2.

The maximum number of individual conductor
connections is 36, based on the installation of twelve
3-core cables of 1mm2.

The maximum number of 4mm2 connections is 24,
based on installation of six 4-core cables.

The cable clamps can grip up to 12 cables with an
overall diameter between 3mm and 15mm.

2

to 4mm2.

2. There are nine connector receptacles inside the
WAGOBOX XL. The centre receptacle (5) is designed
to t the 221 series and 2273-208 connector. The
2273-208 can connect 8 wires together or a pair can be
joined to provide a 14 way terminal block. It is expected
that this connector position is used to connect earth
wires when 8 or more cables on a single circuit are
installed.

3. Both the left and right side of the WAGOBOX XL have

2 slots for 2273 connectors (numbered 1, 3, 7 & 9) and
2 slots for 221 connectors (numbered 2, 4, 6 & 8).

4. The WAGOBOX XL is designed to support either
one or two circuits that can be supplied together or
separately. It is important to ensure that this is
indicated on the lid using permanent marker or labels.

5. When two separate circuits are being supported
no connections between the left and right side are
permitted. Each side must be dedicated to one circuit

only.

When a single circuit is being supported then cross
linking between each side of the enclosure is permitted.

6. When a large number of cables need to be
connected on a single circuit then the central
receptacle can be used to connect the cable earth
wires together using the 2273-208 PUSH-WIRE®
connectors and jumper bar 862-482.

Installation Instructions

Instructions for BS 5733-MF Accessory

In situations where you need to install a WAGOBOX XL in an
inaccessible location then the following instructions must
be followed. This will ensure your completed accessory
complies with the requirements of BS 5733 for a
maintenance free accessory.

1. Only WAGO 2273 or 221 series connectors are
permitted for use with a WAGOBOX XL in maintenance

free locations.

2. BS 5733 only permits single circuits to be terminated
into a maintenance free accessory.

3. Apply BS 5733 Rating Requirements. Please note the
terminal ratings in the table below are dierent to the
published ratings. These terminal ratings must be used
when selecting appropriate terminals to assemble a
BS 5733 maintenance free accessory.

The Single Side Max Aggregate current (Iag) is the sum of
all the possible currents through either the left or right side
of the WAGOBOX XL in normal use. This limit must not be
exceeded. Usually the max I
terminals multiplied by the rating of the Overcurrent
Protective Device for the circuit. There are some
exceptions to this rule so if you are in anyway unsure
how to calculate the maximum Iag please consult a qualied
electrician or contact Connexbox Ltd for support.

4. Follow the BS EN 60670-22 installation instructions
ensuring all the phase terminals are neatly tted into the
receptacles in the WAGOBOX XL.

5. Secure the WAGOBOX XL lid using the cable-tie locking
points.
