What is a Mechanical Bolted Lug for 36 kV MV Lines?
A mechanical bolted lug for 36KV is a type of electrical connector designed to connect electrical cables to busbars, transformers, or circuit breakers. 36KV mechanical bolted lugs are specifically engineered for medium voltage system, to ensure excellent conductivity and reliability in demanding environments.

The Mechanical bolted lug is unlike compression lug that require crimping tools, mechanical lugs requires only screw driver to fasten the cable conductor and shear-head bolts off, the bolts will break off at a preset torque.
 
 

What is a Medium Voltage Cable Lug with a Central Ring?

A medium voltage cable lug with a central ring is a specialized type of connector designed for use in power cables ranging between 6 kV to 36 kV. The central ring is an additional feature integrated within the lug, typically positioned at the midpoint of the barrel, which serves specific functions that improve the overall connection quality.

Advantages of Mechanical Bolted Lugs for 36KV system:

● Cable range: mechanical cable lug size from 16-1000mm2
● Durability and Corrosion Resistance: Jera Line’s lugs are treated with anti-corrosion coatings, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh weather conditions.
● Ease of Installation: The bolted design allows for quick and easy installation without the need for specialized tools. This reduces installation time and labor costs.
● Compatibility: MV lugs are versatile and can accommodate both aluminum and copper conductors, making them suitable for a wide range of applications
● High Electrical Conductivity: The design ensures low resistance connections, minimizing power losses and enhancing overall efficiency.
● Tests: MV mechanical cable lugs are tested according to IEC-61238 under Jera’s lab.
 

Applications in a 36 kV MV Line:

● Switchgear Terminations: Used in MV switchgear systems where dependable connections are vital for safe operations.
● Transformer Connections: Ensuring secure and stable connections between transformers and incoming/outgoing lines.
● Busbar Connections: Lugs connect conductors to busbars in substations and distribution panels, ensuring effective current flow.
● Distribution Panels: Providing connections between cables and other equipment.
● Underground and Overhead Networks: Suitable for both underground cables and overhead line systems, making them versatile across different MV network designs.
 

What materials used in shear mechanical cable lugs?

The lugs are made of aluminum, which later tin covered. The bolts are made of aluminum or brass materials. This is made in accordance to application of cable lug, it can be used for connecting both aluminum and copper conductors.
 

Products compliance to IEC:

The manufacturer of mechanical bolted lugs for 36 kV MV lines, should comply and meet the international standards such as IEC 61238:1:3 type test, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency in power distribution networks. With stringent quality control and innovative designs, Jera Line is your trusted vendor for medium voltage connection solutions.
