Terminating a Ground Cable with an OT Terminal
Strip the ground cable.
A: OT terminal
B: ground cable
C: exposed cable conductor
L1: length of the exposed cable
When you are skillful, you can determine L1
based on the length of the OT terminal lug.
When striping off the insulation layer of the
ground cable, take care not to damage or nick
the metal conductor of the cable.

Fit the exposed cable into the OT terminal.
Ensure that the cable conductor does not
protrude more than 2 mm from the OT terminal.
