Wrong crimping tool or die use when putting in copper cable lugs has severe and potentially hazardous effects on electrical and mechanical performance: Higher Contact Resistance: A wrong tool or die may not deliver the correct compression, resulting in inadequate deformation of the conductor and lug. This means higher joint resistance, leading t
Why is conductor stranding class important in lug selection?
Stranding class of the conductor is important in copper cable lug selection because it influences directly the fit, electrical performance, and mechanical reliability of the connection. Here's why: Physical Fitness: Fine-stranded conductors like those of Class 5 and Class 6 according to DIN 57295/EN 60228 contain more overall diameter than fin
