Motor lead quick disconnects allow for fast connecting and disconnecting of reliable motor lead connections, facilitating motor maintenance and repair or diagnostics and testing. Thomas & Betts Blackburn KUBE Motor Lead Compression Disconnects reduce labor time by 50% versus conventional disconnect methods, according to a T&B. This increases…

What is a high resistance connection? A lot of words come to mind when the term “high resistance connection” is used, though reliability is not one of them. Loose, poor, heat, imbalance, and failure are a few often associated with high resistance connection, and for good reason. They are often the root cause of motor…

Insulating Motor Connections For Reliability It’s the simple things that we seem to take for granted in an industry where so much experience is retiring away. How do you properly tape a motor lead connection? What type of tape do you use for a connection, and how many layers? We see lots of motor connections…

Motor connections that keep you running – Low Voltage Applications A proper motor connection is a fundamental and often overlooked component to a reliable motor circuit. Unfortunately, our test teams and repair shops continue to find problems with high resistance and grounded connections resulting from: Vibration Heat Moisture Contaminants Improper handing Compression in Jbox (too…
