The importance of cable glands and lugs in every industry that uses heavy machinery, cannot be overstated. Its importance lies in ensuring that the electrical gadgets are protected from excessive heating and fire, not to mention the risk of loss of life. To this end, cable lugs need to have consistent thickness and fitting.
Copper lugs are increasingly used in industries on account of the fact that it has a low co efficient of thermal expansion. It is, therefore, a logical choice when it comes to electrical installations. When it comes to the marine industry particularly, it is important that the lug used is resistant to atmospheric corrosion as cables are installed underwater. Additionally cables need to be protected from high pressure, extreme temperature, hazardous climate, moisture or dust. This is the exact reason why lead free copper lugs are in great demand as copper is by itself known to oxidize with exposure to the atmosphere, causing bright copper surfaces to tarnish. The anti-corrosion property of lead free copper lugs ensures that any mechanical damage to the equipment on account of corrosion of the lug is prevented. This in turn positively impacts the life span of the machinery as also the maintenance required. The use of lead free copper lug also goes a long way in preventing the threat to life on account of any accident.
Additionally, the use of high quality Copper lugs necessarily comes with reduced maintenance costs, which means that the industry does not have to contend with periodic maintenance costs as also machine downtime that adversely affect business.
While cable connector, cable lugs and fittings are absolutely essential when it comes to securing machinery increasing its lifespan as well as reducing maintenance costs, it is ironic that their importance is still not fully recognized. They are often regarded as any other sundry accessory and no emphasis is laid on their quality.
