Thin-walled aluminum cable lug ALC 240/1 ALC_240/1

Aluminum cable lugs – reliable connections in power installations

The ALC 240/1 cable lug is an element used to connect aluminum conductors with a cross-section of 240 mm². Made of aluminum, it is characterized by durability and good electrical conductivity. Designed for crimping onto single- and multi-strand aluminum cables, it provides a durable and safe connection. The use of this type of lug is crucial in the construction and maintenance of power installations, where the reliability of connections directly affects the safety and efficiency of the system.

Construction and application

The ALC 240/1 lug has a thin-walled construction, which translates to lower weight and easier installation. It is designed to operate in networks with a voltage of up to 6/10 kV. Its round cross-section ensures uniform pressure distribution during crimping, minimizing the risk of damage to the conductors. The lack of a central partition and oil tightness indicates its intended use in dry rooms and indoor installations. The lug is not intended for connecting steel-aluminum or alloy conductors.

Key features and benefits

• Strength and durability: Aluminum construction guarantees corrosion resistance and long-term operation.
• Suitable for large cross-sections: Nominal cross-section of 240 mm² allows the lug to be used in installations with high current load.
• Easy installation: Thin-walled construction facilitates crimping, reducing installation time.
• Safety: Provides a secure and durable electrical connection, minimizing the risk of short circuits and open circuits.
• Wide application: Ideal for connecting aluminum cables in power installations, residential and industrial buildings.
• Compatibility: Compliance with standards ensures cooperation with other elements of the electrical installation.

It is important to remember that proper selection of crimping tools and adherence to the installation instructions are crucial to ensure the reliability of the connection. Using incorrect tools or improper crimping can lead to damage to the lug or cable, and consequently to a failure of the installation.
