Electrical safety, be it in installations of a residential, commercial, or industrial nature, will always depend on an important but often neglected component of ensuring security and integrity: the cable gland. The main purpose of cable glands is to secure cables, relieve strain, and protect against environmental elements. The types vary greatly f

When joining aluminum and copper conductors in electrical circuits, employing the right kind of lug is important to making a reliable and durable connection. Aluminum and copper differ in their electrical and chemical properties, which may cause galvanic corrosion, overheating, and ultimate failure of the connection if not controlled. Al/Cu (alumin

Galvanic corrosion is a prevalent but usually neglected problem when connectors of different metals are utilized. When two dissimilar metals are in contact with an electrolyte (e.g., water), an electrochemical reaction is initiated, and the less noble metal corrodes. In electrical systems, it can cause connections to become weaker, raise the resist
