Types Of Cable Lugs That You Can Choose

By Alex D White


People need to feel safe about their use of different items. For instance, if you are using electricity, it is imperative that you use the right appliances to stay safe from electrical faults. This calls for there to be such appliances like cable lugs to provide a safe and neat mechanism of creating joints where electrical power would pass. Since different lugs exist, you have to come up with ways of ensuring that you have the right lug for your electrical power transmission since each of them has unique features that makes it useful in different situations.

You can classify lugs depending on the material used in making such items. Copper lugs are just a few of the lugs made of copper for industrial and commercial use thanks to the high level of conductivity provided by copper. The good thing about using such items is because they are electroplated to resist corrosion and abrasion.

People can also choose aluminum lugs because of their high level of conductivity that are also electroplated to guarantee their durability by resisting abrasion and corrosion. These lugs are quite light and enable people to achieve a wide range of objectives relating to electricity transmission. These are also fairly cheap and able to withstand hostile usage.

It is also common for people to want to use in-line connector lugs that can transmit electrical energy across different electrical cables. The lugs have varying amounts of strain relief and damage protection features that make them withstand varying degrees of hostile usage. They are usually durable irrespective of where they are used.

Different energy meters and switch fuses are fitted with pin reducer lugs that could be made of copper or aluminum. These come in different sizes and with unique features that make them ideal for use in different meter sizes. Their diameters also differ making it easy to use with cables that are of varying thicknesses.

People have an option to use insulated lugs or non-insulated lugs depending on the manner in which they want to use such components. For instance, if such lugs would be used as battery cable lugs, it may sometimes be necessary to have insulated lugs to ensure that no one is ever electrocuted accidentally. This will enhance safety and ease of use for such products.

You can also describe lugs by the nature of their parts. Fork type lugs are some of the lugs that take a distinctive fork shape with parts that connect it to electrical equipment, power supply delivery systems and circular aluminum cables. The durable nature of these appliances is attained due to their ability to resist abrasion and corrosion.

You can also use tubular type lugs that are hollow and allowing cables to pass through, which means they enclose them. These electrolyte copper products are coated with tin, which means they can resist oxidation and corrosion. These lugs are quite durable because of their ability to withstand hostile usage.

You can also choose to use pin type lugs on different appliances to support transfer of electrical current to different regions. These are also quite durable and efficient in power transmission making them to be used commonly for industrial purposes. They can be coated or non-coated.
