The Circular Economy In October 2016, we moved into our purpose-built headquarters and began a bold sustainability journey, achieving ISO 14001 certification in 2017.

One part of our Environmental Management System (EMS) programmes is redirecting waste from landfill to recycling, and what better way to do it than turning that waste into new products like cable cover that we can sell back into

the industry. When designing new products, we’re always looking for ways to maximise the amount of recycled material used while at the same time designing the product using the least amount of overall materials – all without compromising the strength and integrity of the product. That’s a win-win for the environment in our opinion.

LUG COMPARISON, SEALED VS. STANDARD

Sealed vs. Standard Compression Lugs What’s The Difference And When To Use Each Type Electrical terminations are a critical point of failure in power distribution systems. Lugs provide the interface between conductors and equipment terminals. The integrity of this interface impacts the reliability of the connection.

Standard (non-sealed) lugs are widely used for cost and convenience; however, sealed lugs offer significant advantages in environments where moisture, contamination, vibration, and long-term reliability are concerns.

Standard Lugs Suit:

✓ Indoor & climate controlled environments ✓ Low risk, non-critical circuits ✓ Temporary installations Sealed Lugs Suit:

✓ Critical circuits ✓ Humid or harsh environments ✓ Confined or high risk spaces

Both have their place, and should be chosen based on the application.
