Nexans C16-95 x 12 Cable Lugs
nexans gph mechanical cable Lugs – MV/HV
The Nexans GPH C-Series Mechanical Cable Lugs are engineered for reliability in medium and high-voltage applications. Designed with a multi-shearbolt system, they deliver consistent clamping torque across a wide conductor range, eliminating the need for crimping tools.
Offering a reliable and efficient method of jointing & connecting MV HV cables, varied conductor types and materials up to 72kV, the Nexans GPH Cable Lugs MV HV range includes the Mechanical Shearbolt C-Series, which provides a unique bolt system, known as the multiple shear-off-head bolt. Nexans GPH Cable Lugs range uses a multiple shear-off-head bolt to clamp respective conductor cross section with an appropriate torque moment using an inner/outer hexagon.
Shearbolt C-Series — multiple shear-off-head bolts for reliable torque control
- Materials — high-strength aluminium alloy body, tin-plated; brass shearbolts (inner/outer hex)
- Applications — MV/HV jointing, terminations, buried and building installations
- Standards: Tested to IEC 61238-1 (connectors up to 36kV Um), suitable for distribution and industrial networks exposed to overloads and short-circuit events.
♦ IEC 61238-1 Standards
The IEC 61238-1 Standards covers the test methods and requirements for compression and mechanical Cable Lugs & Connectors designed for MV HV Power Cables, with operating voltages up to 30kV (Um = 36kV). The IEC 61238-1 compliant Cable Lugs & Connectors are typically used with buried cables or cables installed in buildings. Typical service conditions for this power cables standard include connectors used for electricity distribution or industrial networks which can be subjected to short-circuits of high intensity and duration, as well as connectors for networks which overload or short-circuits, cleared by installed protective devices.

Mechanical Shearbolt 52kV C-Series Technical Details
The Cable Lugs bolt has an inner and outer hexagon, which are both related to the various shear-off-areas of the bolt and their different torque moments. The torque moments follow the rule that large conductor cross sections require high torque moments and small cross sections need lower torque moments. The installation instructions for the Nexans GPH Mechanical Cable Lugs MV HV describes use of both hexagons and of the various centre rings and inserts, for the respective conductor types.
- Simple & Quick Installation: The Mechanical Shearbolt C-Series is equipped with common commercially available inner and outer hexagon tools or an improved impact wrench.
- Minimum Storage Costs: The cross-sectional area from 16mm² to 1000mm² is covered by just 4 types of cable lugs.
- Universal Applicability: The Mechanical Shearbolt C-Series can be used for copper and aluminium conductors according to EN 60228 class 1 & class 2.
- Proven Quality: Tested for class 2 conductors according to IEC 61238-1, in failure-free operation for more than 15 years.
