Motor T-Lead Lugs to Power Cable Lugs
Motor T-Lead Lugs to Power Cable Lugs
(OP)
I need to choose lugs for connecting a 4160 V motor to its power cables. Currently the motor t-leads are tin-plated and the power cables going to the motor have silver-plated lugs. Is there any reason why you would choose tin over silver or vice versa? Is one metal more corrosion resistant? Would there be any problem connecting different type metals together in this application?

and tin-to-silver combination,slightly better than tin-to-tin"

I purchased silver-plated lugs from Thomas & Betts for cable in contact with motor tin-plated terminals and no complaint was recorded.

ch.2.4 Good corrosion resistance.
"Even sulfide or oxidation layers was formed, it will sublimate due to heat generated instead of forming an insulating film"

I'm not sure where that idea came from... it's just the way I've always seen it done (silver plated).
Do people commonly use tin plated copper lugs on large power equipment ?
