One of the most common issues that cabling teams face when terminating a high-strand, flexible cable into a mechanical set-screw type lug is that the twisting action of the set screw deforms or cuts the fine wire strands. This can result in hot joint and eventual failure by overheating. It’sthe reason that many are now […]

In recent years, wiring teams have been using a large size of cable to avoid the voltage drop that can occur over long runs. However, they face an issue fitting the oversized cable into the lugs sized based on the original cable size. In this latest post, our team at Greaves addresses the issue as […]

In applications involving the termination of high-strand, flexible cable, it’s important to consider the type of lugs used for electrical work. The team here at Greaves have helped hundreds of clients choose the right connectors for their electrical applications within this latest post, we’ll explore more on the range of lugs available and their performance […]

One of the foremost challenges for cabling teams is voltage drops that can occur in long runs. Companies are now specifying oversized copper cables to mitigate these voltage drops. But these copper cables must then be sized down at the end to fit into the equipment lug or circuit breaker. And so now teams must […]

About a dozen year ago, the topic of pool bonding (including the rebar of a concrete pool shell) was new and much-discussed.  For personnel safety, codes began to call for bonding of all metal parts in the pool environment to create an equipotential voltage plane. Then there was mistaken use of terminals which were not […]
