Special Bimetallic Lugs

Special Bimetallic Lugs

Special Bimetallic Lugs are designed and tested as per BS 4759 standard. These Special Bimetallic Lugs and connectors are manufactured from Solid Electrolytic Grade material by friction welding. Friction Welding is superior technology to give a complete bonding between aluminium and copper. Entry to the wire barrel is shock-proof or bell mouthed for faster and easier conductor entry. The Connector and Lug Barrels are filled with grease to avoid oxidation of Aluminum.

Following are the specification for Special Bimetallic Lugs.

Features for Special Bimetallic Lugs
  • Longitudinally Sealed Bimetallic Lugs are also available upon request.
  • Constructed with forged circular copper palm and friction welded to an EC grade aluminium, thus achieving the best possible transition Bi-Metals require.
  • Feature a very strong fusion welded Al/Cu joint.
  • Special Bimetallic lugs are provided with jointing compound in the barrels and are sealed with an end cap.
  • Generally used when a bolted connection is required between a copper cable and an aluminium busbar or terminal.
  • Known for their excellent conduction towards heat and electricity.
  • Friction-Welded, Pre-filled with jointing compound, plugged and individually labelled.
  • Manufactured under strict quality control and confirm fly to specification and requirements.
Application for Special Bimetallic Lugs
  • Used for Double Bolt Applications.
  • Specifically, for use with Copper Flexible Cables.
  • For standard metric conductors.
  • For General and Electrical Purposes.
  • For Compression Connections, Ring Type and Aluminium Conductors.
  • Suitable for both hexagonal die and indent die.
  • Bell Mouthed for faster and easier conductor entry.
  • Mostly useful where an aluminum cable has to be terminated by a copper bus bar or copper contact.
