SYNOPSIS
Electrical connections come in two forms – end terminations and joints between two conductors. A good electrical connection is one that is able to conduct current safely at a low temperature, resulting in energy savings and should last for many years (30 years or even longer). But how can you ensure and achieve a good electrical connection every time?

This section will cover the important factors in executing a good electrical connection, with actual cases of right and wrong applications will be presented. Relevant Malaysian Standards will also be discussed. Lastly the talk will also cover cases involving less than common connection setups, by evaluating the different types of critical connections and recommended procedures.

Speaker’s Biodata

Mr. Ng obtained his tertiary education in Electrical Engineering from Tai Chung Senior V.I. School (Electrical Engineering), Taiwan in 1969. He started his career in the engineering field working on electrical maintenance and subsequently on mechanical and electrical projects. In 1979 he started Conway Terminals Manufacturer Sdn Bhd, a company producing cable connectors and related electrical tools. Conway has been growing steadily over the years and today the company offers a wide range of quality electrical conductor jointing and termination products and tools. Conway’s cable lugs and bi-metal lugs are type-test to MS 1540:2002 and IEC 61238-1 respectively.

Mr. Ng has also been instrumental in setting up and operating other related outfits such as Taian Jaya Electric Sdn. Bhd. (Manufacturing of magnetic contactor, overload relay and motor starter) and Conlap Precision Industries Sdn. Bhd. (Manufacturing of tools and dies, stamping of electrical component parts).
