How to Install the Compression Lugs for 600V Applications

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing compression lugs on copper cables for 600V applications.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush or emery cloth

Supplies needed:

Compression lugs, Heat shrink tubing (if required)

  1. Strip the cable insulation

    Strip the insulation from the cable to the length specified in the table on the reverse side. Avoid nicking the cable strands.

  2. Prepare the cable end

    Ensure the cable end is clean. Use a wire brush or emery cloth to clean it if necessary. Insert the cable into the connector until it stops.

  3. Crimp the connector

    Insert the connector into the crimping tool and compress it according to the color bands indicated on the connector. Begin crimping near the tongue of the connector.
