Termination of sector shaped stranded or solid cored conductors
The Hepworth ‘NML’ range of mechanical lugs has been designed as a practical alternative to crimping or sweating methods, thereby offering the following advantages: –
a. Terminations can be jointed using simple hand tools, therefore specialised tooling or sweating skills are not required.
b. The bolted connection to the busbar, or any other equipment, can be accurately located before the conductor is finally secured within the barrel of the lug, thereby avoiding any problems of elongation and axial alignment.
