Cembre Matched System Cembre manufactures a matched system of marked lugs, crimp tools and dies BS7609 & BS7727, the standards for Copper Tube and Uninsulated compression connectors state that, for a good electrical connection, a matched system should be adopted at all times. But what is a matched system?
Best practice requires...
• Insulation & Conductor cut square & clean • Conductor not damaged during insulation removal
• No missing or damaged conductor strands • Insulation cut evenly and without damage
In open Connector • Conductor must visibly extend through the crimp barrel
In closed Connector • Conductor must visibly extend to the inspection hole
Cembre three ‘ ’ rule assures crimped lug connections
• approved conductor correctly prepared • conductor strip length = lug barrel length
• manufacturer & size shown on lug • lug & conductor have equal copper content
• crimp tool optimises performance of dies • dies matched to tool, lug type & size
Risks of using an unmatched system
• correct number, position & quality of crimps • lug marked to check correct dies used
Poor crimps which damage the lug or leave it loose enough to pull of by hand, leading to arcing and over-heating resulting in failure.
Cembre Tools Cembre manufactures mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic tools for crimping connectors, cutting conductors and punching holes. Hydraulic tools are available both as complete hand tools from 50 to 130 kN force and as press heads that, when coupled to 700 bar hydraulic pumps, develop 50 to 1.100 kN force.
