Aluminium Compression Lugs are manufactured from high conductivity aluminium to suit a range of cable types and sizes. Lugs are available for both stranded and solid sector aluminium conductors. Compression tooling and dies are required to install these lugs.
Copper Compression Lugs are manufactured from high conductivity copper to suit a range of cable sizes. There are various types of copper lugs available including; sealed palm, bell mouth or flared, long palm, long barrel and blank palms. Compression tooling and dies are required to install these lugs.
Bi-Metal Compression Lugs are used to join an aluminium conductor to a copper busbar. The copper palm is friction welded to the aluminium barrel which eliminates the presence of oxygen between the surfaces and therefore eliminates electrolytic corrosion. Compression tooling and dies are required to install these lugs.
Pre-Insulated Compression Lugs are used to connect insulated low voltage aerial bundled cables (LV ABC) to equipment. The pre-insulated lugs are totally insulated and waterproof. They are available as an aluminium lug or as a bi-metal lug. Compression tooling and dies are required to install these lugs.
Mechanical Lugs are made from a high strength aluminium alloy that allows them to be used on both aluminium and copper conductors. They can usually take a range of conductor sizes in the same lug. The mechanical lugs have shear bolts for installation, the bolts are simply tightened until they shear off so no compression tooling is required.
Stalk Lugs have a compression barrel with a solid copper stalk inline with the barrel. Various stalk diameter sizes are available for each conductor size. Stalk lugs are available in a copper version and in a bi-metal version. Compression tooling and dies are required to install these lugs.
Switchgear Lugs have a compression barrel with a copper switchgear coupler inline with the barrel. They are used to connect cables onto 12mm diameter switchgear stems and are supplied with a steel clamping collar. Switchgear lugs are available in a copper version and in a bi-metal version. Compression tooling and dies are required to install these lugs.
