Description

Bimetallic Parallel Groove Connectors, also known as Bimetallic PG Clamps are designed to connect and secure both aluminium and copper conductors in electrical systems. Bimetallic PG Clamps are the perfect solution for a wide range of applications, including overhead power transmission and distribution lines, substations, and various electrical installations. Below, we will delve into the numerous features and benefits that set these connectors apart from the competition.

Axis Bimetallic clamps prevent direct contact between aluminium and copper. This happens due to friction welding and forging inside one of the grooves.  Thus, dissimilar metal corrosion is avoided.

Why Axis Bimetallic PG Clamps?

One of the unique characteristics of Bimetallic PG Clamps is the incorporation of two different metals in their construction. The connectors feature an aluminium side and a copper side, ensuring compatibility with a broader range of conductor materials. This bimetallic design not only facilitates easy connections between dissimilar metals but also helps to prevent galvanic corrosion, providing enhanced durability and longevity.

Material Quality and Composition

Axis Bimetallic Parallel Groove Connectors are expertly crafted using high-quality aluminium alloy and copper, which ensures excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The aluminium alloy used is 99.5% pure, which maintains high conductivity, significantly reducing power loss and enhancing overall performance. The copper side is made of high-quality, electrolytic copper, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and compatibility with copper conductors.

International Certifications for Bimetallic PG Clamps

Manufactured according to IS5561:2018, Axis Bimetallic PG Clamps adhere to strict international quality, reliability, and safety standards. This certification instills confidence in the product’s performance and ensures compliance with applicable regulations and requirements.

Ease of Installation

These Clamps can be easily installed using torque wrenches, ensuring proper clamping force and a reliable connection. The connector is placed over the conductors, and the bolts are tightened to the recommended torque specifications. This user-friendly installation process saves time and effort, streamlining the overall project timeline. Bimetallic PG Connectors come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different conductor sizes and types. This versatility allows for easy customisation and adaptability, ensuring the right connector is always available for the job at hand.

Optimal Conductivity and Performance

Bimetallic PG Connectors provide excellent electrical conductivity, ensuring low power loss and optimal performance in electrical systems. By facilitating seamless connections between aluminium and copper conductors, these connectors play a crucial role in the efficient operation of electrical networks. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, humidity, and UV radiation, Bimetallic PG Connectors provide a long service life. Their bimetallic composition and corrosion-resistant materials protect against the elements and ensure lasting performance.

Maintenance and Inspection of Bimetallic PG Clamps

For optimal performance and safety, it is crucial to periodically inspect and maintain your clamps. Regular visual inspections can help identify any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Additionally, checking the tightness of the bolts and ensuring proper torque levels are maintained can prevent potential issues before they escalate. By implementing a proactive maintenance strategy, you can ensure that your Bimetallic PG Clamps continue to provide reliable service for years to come. Bimetallic PG Connectors are designed to be compatible with various insulation materials, including heat shrink, cold shrink, and pre-molded slip-on products. This compatibility ensures that the connectors can be seamlessly integrated into your electrical system while maintaining proper insulation levels and protection.

Environmentally Friendly

The use of high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials in Bimetallic PG Clamps not only enhances their durability but also makes them environmentally friendly. By reducing the need for frequent replacements, these connectors contribute to a lower overall environmental impact.
