About Burndy

Burndy's vast catalogue includes electrical connectors, terminal blocks, plugs and receptacles. Burndy compression lug studs are used to make an electrical connection by joining or terminating electrical conductors. These lugs have non-insulated, brazed barrel copper terminals with electro-tin plating for corrosion resistance. The brand's YGHA Series wire connectors are made of copper for high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. These Burndy compression wire connectors are RoHS compliant and ensure enhanced safety while connecting wire.

Things to Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Some Burndy MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Dayton, Eaton and 3M. So, if you're looking for a competitor item that is either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Burndy products available.

Shipping

These Burndy products are small in size. They require careful packaging as some items might get damaged while shipping. Hence, these items are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the torque requirements for terminal screws on Burndy GFCI receptacles?

14 to 16 inch-lb.

How do you wire a surge receptacle so it will provide downstream protection?

Connect the surge receptacle to the first device in the circuit using pigtails. Wire the standard receptacles downstream so that they are no more than 20 feet away and in the same room.

What is the recommended method for cleaning Burndy wire end connectors?

Cleaning connectors with a specialised contact cleaner and a brush or cloth is advised. Regular cleaning is vital to remove dirt, oxidation, or contaminants that can hinder electrical conductivity and cause overheating.

How to maintain Burndy terminal blocks, plugs and receptacles to ensure their continued performance?

Routine maintenance includes inspecting for signs of wear, corrosion or loose connections. Tighten any loose connections and replace components showing significant wear to maintain reliability.

What are the critical factors to consider regarding wire termination when installing Burndy wires and terminals?

Proper wire termination involves selecting the right wire size, ensuring adequate stripping and using recommended torque settings. Proper termination ensures a secure electrical connection, minimising resistance and preventing overheating.

What safety precautions should be taken during the installation and maintenance of Burndy terminal blocks, plugs and receptacles to prevent electrical hazards?

Safety measures include working on de-energised systems whenever possible, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and following lockout / tagout procedures.
