Heavy Duty Tinned Copper Ferrules: Purpose, Uses and Key Benefits
In heavy duty electrical networks, safety and efficiency are of utmost importance. A considerable number of accessories are used in wires and power cables for proper flow of current while maintaining longevity of cable and negating the risk of hazards. One such accessory is Ferrule . What is Ferrule? In simple terms, ferrule is a deformable long ring or short tube like structure made of highly conductive material, primarily copper or aluminum. It used to terminate open stranded wire or join them with connector, preventing the strands from fraying or spreading out. This helps secure connection by reducing contact resistance within wire strands, maximising contact area and therefore increasing efficiency of flow of current, reducing risk of overheating and short circuits. It is insulated with polypropylene to provide protection and easy installation. How is Ferrule Installed? ➔ Conductor wire is cut sharply, without jagged edges of strips. ➔ ...
