About cable lugs
Marel universal cable lugs and joints are made of an aluminium alloy with excellent electrical conductivity. Their robust construction ensures durability, while the large contact surfaces with conductors and connection elements guarantee high-quality and reliable electrical contact. We also call them universal mechanical cable lugs because they are installed using standard mechanical wrenches.
Key advantages
- A design that provides large contact surfaces with conductors, regardless of whether they are made of copper or aluminium.
- Fully suitable for both overhead and underground electrical connections.
- A wide range of compatible conductor sizes, with one lug / joint accommodating multiple conductor cross-sections, regardless of whether the conductor has a sector-shaped (SE/SM) or circular (RM/RE) cross-section.
- Easy installation without need for special tools.
- Robust construction of the lugs and joints ensures long-term stability and reliable operation under very high current loads.
Standards :
Testing standards for cable lugs and joints:
- EN 61238-1-1:2020 - Test methods and requirements for compression and mechanical connectors for power cables with rated voltages up to 1 kV (non-insulated conductors).
- EN 61238-1-3:2019 - Test methods and requirements for compression and mechanical connectors for power cables with rated voltages above 1 kV (non-insulated conductors).
