Terminating 50mm solid conductor

[davesparks]

Hi

Yes it seems to suggest they are okay, the other issue is size, they are quite bulky. A good crimp will be fine in my opinion.

Cheers

I agree that crimping would be the best option, but unfortunately for just two connections it is proving to be a very expensive exercise.
Especially considering that this whole job is a remedial from a highly suspicious EICR, and I don't really agree that it needs doing in the first place.

Hi Dave

Do you not know anyone with a good indent crimper, the lugs are cheap enough, prysmian/biccon do a BT range which are good. Being a solid conductor A BT35 might fit failing that a BT50.

I've got a reasonable indent crimper somewhere, if standard sized dies are suitable? I have assumed it would need to be special sized ones?

Hi Dave

Just make sure you get some good quality lugs, Klauke or Biccon.

Cheers
