Where are bimetallic lugs used?

Bimetallic Lugs are constructed using a copper palm and aluminum barrel and are used to terminate aluminum conductors onto copper bus bars. Using these lugs in control panels, switchgear, and combiner boxes in Solar Plants prevents corrosion and ensure longevity.

How do I choose cable lugs?

Choosing the right cable lug also depends on the conductor class to be processed. As an example, the following cable lug types are available for cables according to DIN EN 60228: Class 1, 2, 5 and 6 conductors: compression cable lugs according to DIN 46235. Class 2 conductors: standard type tubular cable lugs.

Why bimetallic strip is used?

A bimetallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement. The strip consists of two strips of different metals which expand at different rates as they are heated.

What is bimetallic thermometer?

Bimetal thermometers are thermometers based on the functional principle that metals expand differently depending on the change in temperature. A bimetal thermometer always consists of two different metal strips that have a different thermal expansion coefficient.

What is a lug used for?

As lugs are used for connecting electrical devices and cables, most of such connectors are available in rubber or plastic insulated sheets. This ensures safe handling. Usually one end of the electrical lug is used for connecting a cable to an electrical device.

Why are cable lugs used?

» Cable lugs are devices used for connecting cables to electrical appliances, other cables, surfaces, or mechanisms. The clamps that connect wires to an automotive battery are a common example of a cable lug, as are the ends of battery jumper cables.

What are copper lugs used for?

They are widely used for applications where electrical wire is terminated to a machine or electrical equipment. They are used for terminating cables where vibration is critical.

How do I choose a lug size?

The thread size or thread diameter is the measurement taken across the outside diameter of your wheel stud threads measured in either standard (7/16″, 1/2″, etc.) or metric (12mm, 14mm, etc.) dimensions. The most common thread sizes are 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 7/16″, 1/2″, 9/16″, 5/8″.
