Description

Aerial cast lugs, also known as aerial service lugs or line lugs, are specialized electrical connectors used in overhead power distribution systems. These lugs are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection between insulated power conductors and various components of the distribution system, such as transformers, switches, and other equipment. They are typically used in outdoor environments where power lines are suspended above ground.

Types of Aerial Cast Lugs

There are various types of aerial cast lugs designed for specific applications:

  • Transformer Lugs: These lugs are used to connect power conductors to the input or output terminals of transformers.
  • Switch Lugs: Switch lugs provide a connection point for power conductors at switches or reclosers.
  • Splice Lugs: Splice lugs are used to join two conductors together to create a continuous electrical path.
