LED Anderson style plugs and Covers ensure a safe and reliable environment for electrical connections.
Anderson plugs are a connection for towing, battery charging, connecting auxiliary batteries, solar panels and a caravan lithium battery,
The polyethylene cover ensures the correct mating of the positive and negative terminals into the connectors.
Why install LED Anderson Plugs into covers?
Dirt on electrical connections in mobile environments is the enemy for larger DC currents. These DC currents cause a much greater spark on ignition than AC voltages for the same current.
Dirt, grime and water in electrical connections all cause problems with DC power. Fire can occur in a variety of applications, from Camper Trailers to Snow Mobiles.
Fire occurs when dirt collects greases and oils and is ignited by a spark from a DC ignition voltage.
To reduce spark in DC electrical systems, increase the contact area or lower the current.
To decrease water and dirt ingress, use a terminal cover.
Voltage drop is important when selecting the right size cable.
The use of a small cable and high currents is a recipe for fire.
Ask the experts for the correct size cable for the current you wish to draw.
Finally, if you are buying a battery cable ask your, battery supplier for the right cabling.
