The tools and consumables electrical teams use every day, supplied in project and maintenance quantities.
Every cable termination and maintenance job relies on the right consumables and tools. Lugs must match conductor size and material; crimping tools must match lugs; heat shrink and tape insulate and seal the result; meters verify the work.
Mismatched lugs and dies are a common cause of poor terminations, so buying them as a matched set is good practice.
Each line below explains what it is, where it is used, and what to include in your enquiry so we can quote accurately.
Multimeters measure voltage, current and resistance; clamp meters measure current without breaking the circuit. For industrial use, the measurement category (CAT III or CAT IV) indicates where the meter can be used safely.
Buying noteChoose a CAT rating suited to where it will be used, such as distribution boards.
PVC tape insulates and identifies conductors and bundles. Colours are used for phase identification.
Buying noteSpecify colours and quantities per colour.
Crimping tools compress lugs onto conductors. Hand tools cover small sizes; hydraulic tools with hexagonal dies cover large power cable lugs.
Buying noteGive the conductor size range and lug type the tool must crimp.
Lugs terminate conductors on busbars and terminals. Copper lugs suit copper conductors; aluminium or bimetallic lugs are used with aluminium conductors to avoid galvanic corrosion.
Buying noteState conductor size, material and stud hole diameter for each lug.
Heat shrink tubing insulates and seals terminations and joints. Shrink ratio (2:1 or 3:1) and adhesive lining decide how it seals.
Buying noteGive the cable or lug diameter so tubing size is correct.
Matching terminations (illustrative)
Values are typical examples for orientation, not confirmed AMZ Industries stock. Your project specification governs.
| Conductor | Lug type | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Copper, small | Copper tinned | Hand crimper |
| Copper, large | Copper tube lug | Hydraulic with hex dies |
| Aluminium | Aluminium or bimetallic | Hydraulic with matching dies |
