⚡ Parallel Groove Connector

A Parallel Groove Connector (PG Connector) is an electrical fitting used to connect two parallel conductors (usually aluminum or copper) without cutting them. It ensures a secure and efficient electrical connection in overhead transmission and distribution systems.
A Parallel Groove Connector is a mechanical clamp-type connector designed to connect two parallel conductors without cutting or damaging the conductors. It’s commonly used in overhead transmission lines and earthing systems.
