Cabac PRE-INS. BIMETAL ABC LUGS 150MM BMABC150

Description

Fast, Secure Connections for ABC Installations

The Cabac Pre-Insulated Bi-Metal ABC Lug 150MM (BMABC150) is designed specifically for connecting Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC) conductors to transformers, switchgear, and pole-top equipment. Built for efficiency on site, the lug comes pre-insulated, eliminating the need for additional insulation such as heatshrink.

For electricians working on overhead distribution or infrastructure projects, this means faster installations and fewer materials required on the job. Simply strip the conductor to the indicated length and crimp using a hydraulic tool to achieve a reliable mechanical and electrical connection.

Each lug is pre-filled with jointing compound, helping improve electrical contact and reduce resistance at the connection point—important for maintaining performance in demanding outdoor electrical environments.

Built for Reliability and Electrical Compliance

Engineered for durability and dependable performance, the BMABC150 features a bi-metal construction with an aluminium barrel and copper palm joined through a friction weld. This design ensures a strong transition between dissimilar metals, reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion while maintaining long-term conductivity.

For added safety in exposed environments, the lug includes a sealed insulated barrel capable of 6kV under-water dielectric strength, helping protect connections from moisture ingress and harsh outdoor conditions.

The product is manufactured in line with recognised electrical standards including AS4325, BS4579, and IEC, giving contractors confidence that installations meet industry expectations for reliability and compliance.

Designed for Efficient Trade Installation

On busy job sites, clear installation guidance saves time and prevents errors. The BMABC150 lug features moulded crimping instructions directly on the insulation, including stripping lengths, die size, crimp number, and sequence. This allows electricians to confirm installation details without needing separate documentation on site.

Lugs are also colour coded for quick cable size identification, helping speed up material selection during installations or maintenance work.

Installation is straightforward using a hydraulic crimping tool, with the HT50 crimp tool recommended, although any 13-tonne crimp tool can be used.

Supplied through iSupply Electrical’s trade network, contractors benefit from reliable stock availability, competitive wholesale pricing, and fast delivery Australia-wide, helping keep infrastructure and utility projects on schedule.
