Electrical Contractors

Electrical contractors have always been the bedrock customers for our product offering. We manufacture a wide range of standard and bespoke electrical connections that are suitable for just about every type of electrical installation.

We offer a comprehensive range of products. For that reason, many electrical contractors come directly to Total Connections rather than purchasing through distributors. We manufacture high quality copper and stainless steel terminals, earthing equipment such as earth bars,earth blocks, and lattice earth mats, as well as installation tools such as cable crimping and cutting tools. We do it all. Join other electrical contractors who come direct to us for all their needs.

Electrical Contractors Case Study

We were contacted by a market-leading contractor who had been commissioned to install a factory substation. The solid copper busbars could only be installed once the transformers were in situ, which was a time-consuming process and couldn't be planned for in advance. The contractor approached Total Connections to design and manufacture a solution for the substation. The chosen solution was to manufacture flexible busbars, in the form of very large braids (2000sqmm) capable of conducting up to 4000A.

The concept came with a rough sketch from which we produced technical drawings. The braids were composed of 20 layers of 100sqmm flat braid in 2 stacks, terminated with integral lugs with 60 x 60mm hole centres and with M18 clearance. They were 120mm wide, 30mm thick, and were manufactured in a variety of lengths up to 650mm long in tinned copper.

The flexible busbars were quick to manufacture and allowed for immediate installation. The success of this project initiated a productive relationship with the contractor, becoming the first of many problem-solving design and manufacture collaboration projects.
