Marking system for copper terminals includes logotype, cable area, and type number for hexagonal die, ensuring correct tool usage. Recommended use of torque wrench and hard plain washer for proper installation of nuts and screws.

Overview of Elpress Shearbolt Terminals: Elpress shearbolt terminals are designed for easy installation without the need for heavy tools. They are available as through connectors and terminals, suitable for joining copper and aluminium cables while preventing galvanic corrosion. The terminals use brass screws for reduced friction, and come with pre-assembled shear-off screws for ease of handling. Reduction washers are included to accommodate different bolt sizes, and washers are necessary for connecting terminals with screw joints to busbars.

Installation and Usage Recommendations: For installation, a socket wrench is recommended to tighten the screws, which are threaded into the sleeve. It is crucial to use a torque wrench to ensure proper calibration and follow the screw manufacturer's torque recommendations. The terminals are marked with the Elpress logo, product name, and cable area for easy identification.

Insulation Kit for Splicing: The insulation kit includes shearbolt connectors with partitions and heat shrink insulation. The connectors are designed to splice cables by shearing screws at the correct torque. Heat shrink insulation with adhesive ensures a watertight seal. The kit is suitable for transitioning between copper and aluminium cables, and the insulation is thick-walled for robustness.

Cutting and Stripping Tools: Elpress offers a range of cutting and stripping tools for various cable sizes and types. The tools are designed for precision, ergonomic use, and reliability. The EMBLA and ODEN tools are highlighted for their ease of use and adaptability. Hydraulic tools are available for cutting larger cables, and specific tools are provided for medium voltage cables and PEX insulation removal.

Tool Properties and Features: The tools are made from high-quality materials, such as tempered forged steel, and are designed for minimal power requirement and ease of use. They come with features like scissor-motion cutting, single-handed operation, and durable textile bags for storage.

Battery-Powered Cable Cutter PKL54C: The PKL54C is a battery-powered cutting tool designed for cutting copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) cables with a maximum diameter of 54 mm. It is not suitable for cutting steel. The tool features a scissor motion for optimal cutting, a built-in surge protector, and is CE-marked. It comes with a Li-ion battery and charger, with different models available for various voltage requirements.

Hydraulic Cable Cutting Head: This tool is designed for cutting copper and aluminum cables, including steel-reinforced cables, but not steel wire-reinforced cables. It is supplied in a plywood box.

Elpress Deep-Earthing Systems: Elpress offers deep-earthing systems that provide several advantages, such as reduced contact failure, corrosion protection, and continuous earthing resistance measurement. The system is lightweight and cost-effective compared to conventional methods. It uses a copper line driven into the ground with a hardened steel tip and extension rods, allowing for precise control and measurement of earthing resistance.

Soil Conditions and Resistivity: The electrical conductivity of soil is influenced by its moisture content and salinity. Deep-earth connections are preferred over surface-earth connections due to their stability and lower resistivity. The resistivity of soil is measured using electronic resistance bridges, and the earthing resistance is calculated based on soil resistivity and depth.

Corrosion and Service Life: The service life of an earth connection is affected by its resistance to corrosion, which is influenced by factors such as soil pH, temperature, and moisture content. Galvanic corrosion occurs when two metals are in contact, with the rate of corrosion proportional to the galvanic tension between them. The corrosion rate can be measured or calculated using known resistivity values.

General Information: This document provides comprehensive guidelines on the use and safety of Elpress electrical terminals and tools. It emphasizes the importance of selecting the correct terminal, tools, and conductor for installations, and highlights the need for compliance with relevant standards and documentation.

Use and Safety Instructions: Operators are advised to conduct thorough inspections of tools and equipment before use. Personal protective equipment such as goggles and safety shoes is mandatory. Hydraulic pressure should not be applied to bent or knotted hoses, and tools must be serviced regularly to ensure safety and efficiency.

Bolt Joints: Proper installation of bolt joints is crucial for maintaining electrical properties over time. Tightening must be controlled using torque tools, and the use of locking elements or spring washers is recommended to prevent settlement. Different material combinations for terminals and busbars are discussed, with recommendations for minimizing corrosion and settlement risks.

Technical Information: Elpress terminals are designed to meet high standards and are suitable for various cable classes. The document outlines the importance of hexagonal crimping for copper and aluminium terminals to ensure good contact and mechanical strength.
