Even Indian engineers have started realising the fact that the “humble” lug, which is the interface between the “costly” cables and driven equipment, is the key to the electrical installation. They are verifying the quality, going through the detailed “Test Certificates” and incurring a small additional cost to have the best of lugs and connectors in their installations.All Klauke lugs and connectors are tested at independent laboratory as per IEC 1238-1 and this set Klauke apart from all local lug manufacturers in India. The battery powered crimping and cutting tools from Klauke are easy to use and can be operated by a person, without any help, at heights.
