Temperature Investigations in Two Type of Crimped Connection Using Experimental Determinations

In this paper we make a temperature investigations in
two type of superposed crimped connections using experimental
determinations. All the samples use 8 copper wire 7.1 x 3 mm2
crimped by two methods: the first method uses one crimp indents and
the second is a proposed method with two crimp indents. The ferrule
is a parallel one. We study the influence of number and position of
crimp indents. The samples are heated in A.C. current at different
current values until steady state heating regime. After obtaining of
temperature values, we compare them and present the conclusion.
