Comprised of 99.9% pure, oxygen-free copper, their lugs are designed for accuracy and reliability. The color-coding ensures that you're using the correct die with the appropriate lug, leading to high-quality crimps that exceed both IEC 61238-1 and UL standards. What sets them apart is the circumferential compression they offer, creating a large area of high-pressure contact between the cable and connector for superior conductivity and pull-out values. 🌈🔩 We'll cover a range of crimping tools in this video, starting with basic hand tools featuring crimping mechanisms, progressing to battery-operated devices like those produced by ABB for use with their Color-Keyed® lugs, and finally taking you through hydraulic crimping tools essential for working with larger conductors. 💪🔋 At ABB's testing facility, we witnessed firsthand the rigorous testing procedures these crimp connections go through. From weight-based swirling tests and pull-apart machines to corrosion assessments, these lugs are put through the wringer. The highlight? Running a staggering 1500 amps of fault current through one of their terminations. The wire glowed red-hot, but the termination held its ground! 🔥💪 Don't miss this comprehensive look into crimping solutions that are both tradesmen-approved and meet the high standards of corporate innovation. Special thanks once again to ABB for their hospitality and for providing the tools that make this work possible.
