WHY DO YOU NEED EARTHING AND LIGHTNING PROTECTION?

Earthing and lightning protection  is extremely important for the safety of everyone using electrical equipment. Electronic equipment has become an important part of our lives. There is absolutely no one in this world who doesn’t use any kind of electronic equipment. We all have some kind of electrical equipment in our lives and our homes. Earthing and lightning protection is extra important for small children as they do not know how to be cautious around electricity. Not many people know about  earthing and lightning protection  which protect us against electric shock. Many high-end expensive devices fail due to a lack of earthing and lightning protection. Let’s dive deeper and understand what exactly is earthing and Lightning and how it works. Let’s talk about earthing first. EARTHING PROTECTION In simple words, earthing is a connection between electrical equipment and an earth plate or earth electrode through a thick wire and rod of low resistance material to provide t...

DISCOVER TYPES OF LUGS AND THEIR USAGE

Types of lugs Electricians these days are making use of various Types of lugs on the electrical cables that provide a firm connection between the cable and the equipment. There are four types of cable lugs which are commonly used in electrical construction. Different types of cable lugs are also available based on their size. When a permanent connection is needed, then a cable lug or connector is used however a direct one is inconvenient or next to impossible to attain. Lugs comprise high-grade electrolytic (ETP Grade) and are available in a variety of diameters and mounting holes, with wire sizes that range from #8 AWG to 1000 MCM.  Types of cable lugs   Depending on the application and the industry, the usage of cable lugs differs. There are several alternatives for every installation framework. Types of lugs are categorized on the basis of their body structures, insulation and cross-sections.  1)  Copper lugs:  Copper lugs are mostly used for power ...

Aluminium Cable Lugs

Cable lugs made of aluminum have been in use since the 1960s. With rapid heating and cooling, aluminum expands and contracts. Due to this, compared to copper cable lugs, aluminum wiring and lugs can lose strength quickly. Despite the fact that copper and aluminum cable lugs have the same purposes, aluminum cable lugs are more frequently utilized due to their lower cost. Aluminum costs 4 times cheaper than Copper in price. Nowadays, aluminum is also used with copper coating. It is said that Copper cable lugs are safer and thus long-lasting than aluminum cable lugs. The aluminum cable lugs can corrode, or explosions can happen and can catch electric fire. To avoid this, after a certain period, people started using copper cable lugs because of aluminum cable lugs; by taking safety measures into consideration. As, because of the technology and innovations made in the industry, aluminum is considered safer now. Aluminum Lugs Lugs made of aluminum have been in use since the 1960...

HOW ARE COPPER LUGS INSTALLED?

  Lugs form the most important part of an electrical system.  Copper lugs   are used for connecting/terminating wires and cable ends to electrical equipment. Its design allows it to easily secure and detach electrical joints permanently or for maintenance purposes. Since they connect devices seamlessly, they are essential for using electricity across different applications. Owing to its ubiquitous nature across devices, one must account for the quality of material used, correct type of lug, tools, and dies as they are crucial factors in determining the durability and reliability of the connection established. Classification Of Copper Lugs: According to the structure, design, and types of connection established, the lugs can be distributed under two categories. Compression lugs- The lugs are compressed along with the cable to establish a seamless connection. The joints between the wires and electrical equipment are crimped using relevant tools and dies which leads to lesse...
