Re: Power Distribution Module Wiring

Cuy,
The WAGO site has a tutorial on how to use these. It requires a WAGO tool or a small screw driver. The took is inserted in the upper part of the terminal and pushed into place or manipulated to open the contact. While you hold it open, you insert the stripped wire (5/8") and then while holding the wire in place, remove the tool. It takes some practice so don't be discouraged.

Re: Power Distribution Module Wiring

Look at Page 21 of this presentation (the first page after "Helpful Hints"), it will show you how to do it right and avoid breaking things:
