Name: LV / MV Mechanical Lugs | Low/Medium Voltage Lugs | Substation Connection Lugs - Frigate
Price: 249.00 USD
Availability: InStock

When electrical connections fail in power distribution systems, the results range from nuisance outages to catastrophic equipment damage. Our LV/MV Mechanical Lugs prevent these failures with dual-bolt clamping that maintains ≤0.8mV contact resistance across both low voltage (1kV) and medium voltage (36kV) applications.

High-conductivity aluminum alloy (6101-T6) with tin-plated (8-12µm) contact surfaces

Conductor Size Range

10 mm² to 500 mm² (AWG 8 to 1000 kcmil)

Current Carrying Capacity

50 A to 1200 A (40°C ambient, LV) / 30 A to 800 A (MV, derated)

Dimensions

Body width: 20-80 mm; Bolt hole spacing: 15-40 mm; Thickness: 6-20 mm

Weight

0.2 kg to 3.0 kg (lightweight design)

Product Description

Engineered from high-conductivity aluminum alloy with tin or silver plating, these lugs withstand 750+ hours of salt spray while delivering 180MPa tensile strength. This combination of electrical performance and mechanical durability ensures trouble-free operation in everything from residential panels to industrial substations.

Barrel Length

20-60 mm (1.5× conductor diameter)

Termination Type

Dual-bolt clamping (M6-M20) with serrated contact plate

Crimping Compatibility

Compatible with hydraulic/mechanical crimpers (20-100 kN)

Operating Temperature Range

-30°C to +90°C (LV) / -20°C to +75°C (MV)

Surface Finish

Tin plating (standard) or silver plating (MV applications)

Voltage Rating

LV: Up to 1 kV / MV: Up to 36 kV (IEC 61439-1 tested)

Tensile Strength

180 MPa minimum (EN 755-2 verified)

Environmental Resistance

750-hour salt spray (ISO 9227 C4), UV-resistant for outdoor use

Standards Compliance

LV: IEC 61238-1 Class B / MV: IEC 61238-1 Class A, UL 486B

Installation Method

Torque-controlled bolting (10-60 Nm) with anti-oxidation paste

Conductor Compatibility

Aluminum conductors (LV/MV) + copper (with bi-metallic adapter)

Technical Advantages

Standard lugs compromise between LV convenience and MV safety, but our unified design achieves both. The tin-plated aluminum body (6101-T6 alloy) provides 25% weight savings versus copper without sacrificing conductivity, while optional silver-plating boosts MV performance to 36kV.

Independent testing confirms stable operation through 5,000 thermal cycles (-30°C to +90°C), with the dual-bolt system maintaining 95% of initial torque after IEC 60068-2-6 vibration testing. The 6-20mm thickness range accommodates both compact LV panels and robust MV applications.

Industry Applications

Commercial Building Power

Reliable terminations for LV distribution panels (up to 1kV), preventing hot spots in tight conduit runs.

Renewable Energy Farms

MV-rated (36kV) versions connect solar/wind collector systems, with UV-resistant plating for outdoor exposure.

Industrial Motor Control

Serrated contact plates pflegen stable connections under 10G vibration in pump and conveyor systems.

Utility Switchgear

Dual-bolt design exceeds IEEE 837 requirements for transformer secondary connections.

Tunnel Lighting

Corrosion-resistant tin plating (C4 rating) survives humid underground environments.

Data Center Power

Lightweight aluminum construction reduces load on busway supports while handling 1200A.

Simplified Installation & Lasting Performance

Field-tested in extreme environments from tropical substations to industrial plants, these lugs have proven their reliability where inferior connections fail. The aluminum alloy body withstands daily thermal cycling without fatigue, while the dual-bolt design maintains consistent pressure through years of vibration.

Beyond technical specs, what sets these lugs apart is their thoughtful integration into workflow. The pre-applied anti-oxidation paste saves 3 minutes per connection during installations, which adds up to 50 labor hours saved on a typical commercial panel build.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does the dual-bolt design maintain stable contact resistance over time compared to single-bolt lugs?

The symmetrical clamping force distribution prevents localized heating that degrades connections in single-bolt designs. Our testing shows the dual-bolt system maintains contact resistance below 0.8mV even after 5,000 thermal cycles, thanks to the serrated contact plate that “bites” into conductors. Independent labs have verified this performance meets IEC 61238-1 Class A requirements for MV applications up to 36kV.

What makes these lugs a cost-effective choice for large-scale electrical projects?

While the initial price point is competitive, the true value comes from the aluminum alloy construction that reduces material costs by 40% versus copper equivalents without sacrificing performance. We’ve documented cases where contractors saved over 15% on total project costs through reduced labor hours and elimination of separate LV/MV lug inventories. The 20-year service life further enhances return on investment.

Can you accommodate custom configurations for specialized applications?

Our engineering team can modify barrel lengths, plating thickness, and bolt sizes within 10 working days to meet unique project requirements. We pflegen an inventory of raw aluminum billets for rapid prototyping, allowing functional samples to be produced within 72 hours for urgent validation needs. Custom solutions still carry full IEC and UL certifications.

Why is the 6101-T6 aluminum alloy specifically suited for electrical connections?

This particular alloy achieves optimale balance between conductivity (55% IACS) and mechanical strength (180MPa), preventing deformation under high clamping forces. The tempering process (T6) enhances stress resistance, which our metallurgical testing shows reduces micro-fractures by 60% compared to standard 6061 alloy in vibration environments.

How do you ensure consistent quality across global shipments?

We implement batch-level traceability with spectrometer verification of aluminum purity and plating thickness at our ISO 9001-certified factories. Each shipment includes material certificates (EN 10204 3.1) and random sample testing reports, while our regional quality hubs conduct spot inspections before delivery. This system has maintained 99.98% defect-free shipments over the past five years.
