About Dowells Type Bimetallic Lugs
We are providing our esteemed clients Dowells Type Bimetallic Lugs, that are useful where an aluminum cable has to be terminated by a copper bus bar or copper contact. Dowells Type Bimetallic Lugs are designed as per the industrial norms. These lugs find usage in electrical applications, control panels, switchgear and combiner boxes in Solar Plants. Apart from this, customers can avail these lugs from us at most reasonable prices.
Friction-Welded Bimetallic TechnologyThe lugs incorporate friction-welded aluminium barrels and copper palms, establishing a solid electrical interface with minimal contact resistance. This advanced technology enhances current flow, reduces power loss, and extends the service life of connections in demanding environments.
Superior Corrosion ProtectionElectro-tin plating on Dowells Type Bimetallic Lugs ensures excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Even in humid or challenging environments, the lugs maintain their conductivity and structural integrity over time.
Versatile and Customizable DesignDesigned to accommodate a wide range of cable sizes and terminal sockets, these lugs feature multiple palm hole sizes (10mm, 12mm, 16mm) and customizable options. They support various cable types, ensuring compatibility and flexibility for diverse electrical fitting projects.
FAQs of Dowells Type Bimetallic Lugs:
Q: How should Dowells Type Bimetallic Lugs be installed for optimal performance?
A: Installation requires a suitable crimping tool to securely fix the lug onto aluminium or copper cables. Ensuring proper crimping and matching the lug size to both cable diameter and terminal type guarantees safe and efficient connections.
Q: What benefits does the electro-tin plating offer for these lugs?
A: The tin-plated surface provides outstanding resistance against corrosion, allowing the lugs to perform reliably in indoor and outdoor environments, including areas prone to moisture or chemical exposure, while maintaining electrical integrity.
Q: When is it appropriate to use Dowells Type Bimetallic Lugs in electrical setups?
A: These lugs are ideal whenever robust and low-resistance cable-to-busbar or terminal connections are needed, particularly in installations that require flame-retardant, high-insulation components such as power distribution panels, switchboards, or industrial machinery.
Q: Where can these lugs be applied and what cable types are supported?
A: Dowells Type Bimetallic Lugs are suitable for a range of electric fittings both indoors and outdoors. They can be used with aluminium and copper cables of 100200 mm diameter, making them versatile options for various power connection tasks.
Q: What is the process for selecting the correct lug size and terminal fitting?
A: To select the appropriate lug, match the cable diameter and terminal socket type (M10, M12, M16, or customized) with the lugs specifications, such as palm hole size and thickness. This ensures a secure fit and optimal electrical performance.
Q: What are the key usage advantages of friction-welded bimetallic construction?
A: Friction welding produces a strong, conductive bond between aluminium and copper, resulting in lugs with low contact resistance (<0.1 m) and high current capacity. This minimizes power losses and supports safe, efficient electrical connections.
