ETECH have been nothing but reliable, consistent and quick!
I’ve been using ETECH for everything across both the HV and LV now for a few years, I can not recommend them highly enough!
Tom has always been on the end of the phone 24/7 to assist with any problems, or to take last minute orders.
Paul has quite often come out to site with last minute parts in order for us to complete projects under a shut down!
The knowledge and understanding these guys have within this industry helps us soo much and I’d urge everyone to give them a try because they are always on hand to help in every way.

Protecting assets from theft, tampering and vandalism remains just as crucial today as it’s always been. Staggeringly, metal and cable theft cost the UK economy nearly £480 million in 2022, and an estimated £4.3 billion since 2013. [1] From rail networks and transport hubs to electrical installations and public infrastructure, one of the most effective ways to safeguard equipment is through specialised tamper-proof nuts and bolts (tamper-resistant screws). This guide will take you through everything you need to know about tamper-proof nuts, security bolts and other anti-tamper screws. We’ll cover their types, applications, security ratings, installation best practices and even the sustainability benefits they bring to long-term projects. By the end, you’ll understand how to select and install the right fasteners for your needs, keeping your assets secure and compliant. Throughout this blog, we place a particular focus on Hafren Security Fasteners. E-Tech Components are now an Authorised Distributor for Hafren Fasteners who are the UK’s leading name in security and tamper-resistant fasteners. We supply their Kinmar® Permanent and Removable Nuts as well as their 6-Lobe Pin and Pin Hex Fasteners.

Many of you will recognise the classic iceberg graphic, often used to illustrate what’s visible above the surface versus what lies hidden beneath. Motivational speakers, therapists and school teachers all use it. The same idea applies to onshore/offshore UK wind farms and the towering turbines that dominate the landscape. While these turbines stand tall and commanding, it’s the wind farm components working behind the scenes that keep them running reliably. Often overlooked, these onshore/offshore connectors and accessories are critical pillars of the wind and solar energy transition. They make sure that farms and turbines not only look impressive but deliver on their crucial role in our clean energy future.

Introduction: Crimping Tool Calibration & Why It Matters
Crimping Tool Calibration is vital to ensure safe, consistent and compliant electrical installations. More importantly, British installation standards BS7609 and BS7727 require that crimping tools are calibrated at least every 12 months — or every 6 months if the tool is in constant use. If your tool isn’t calibrated within these timeframes, it’s automatically non-compliant, and so is the installation it’s used on. Whether you're working with mechanical, hydraulic or battery-operated tools, maintaining tool performance through routine calibration and crimp testing is essential for every installer and engineer. Yet, some overlook calibration — especially when tools seem to be working "just fine". The risk? Even slight calibration drift can lead to failed terminations, safety hazards, costly downtime and worst of all — a breach of compliance that could invalidate certifications or insurance. In this article, we break down the importance of Crimper Calibration Services, explore best practices for Crimping Tool Maintenance & Repair and explain how E-Tech Components can help you meet and prove compliance.

With individual Part Number Tables and QR Codes linking directly to Product Pages and Categories on our website, this interactive, user-friendly Medium Voltage Catalogue has everything you need. Inside, you’ll find:
? Heatshrink Joints & Terminations
Nexans JTS Heat-Shrink Cable Joints are a new range of high-performance, compact and easy-to-install heat-shrinkable medium-voltage (MV) straight cable joints with a triple-layer tube. Designed for versatility, they are compatible with single- or three-core polymeric cables featuring a copper wire screen, copper tape screen, or aluminium tape screen.
? Coldshrink Joints & Terminations
Ensto CJ11 Cold-Shrink Cable Joints are designed for jointing single-core MV cables with XLPE insulation and a copper wire shield. Available in 24 kV and 42 kV options, they support conductor sizes from 10 to 400 mm². Installation is simple – once the release liners are removed, the pre-expanded cold-shrink joints contract and form a secure, tight fit around the cable without the need for external heat. Cold-shrink jointing is a popular choice for its ease of installation and durability. Especially in projects where heat-shrink licenses are difficult to obtain.

Introduction: What is a Lightning Protection System (LPS)?
Lightning strikes and electrical surges that follow them are one of the major causes of weather-related mortality worldwide. They cause hundreds of injuries in the UK every year. Furthermore, they are a huge concern for building landlords and managers since they can cause significant material and structural damages. To mitigate these risks, a Lightning Protection Risk Assessment is required to evaluate the need for protection measures based on the structure’s vulnerability. British Lightning Protection Standards, such as BS EN 62305, provide a framework for designing effective Lightning Protection Systems (LPS). These systems are a vital legal requirement your structure must meet to prevent potential injuries and damage.
Lightning Protection Systems comprise all the components, equipment and materials needed to safeguard buildings, aircraft, other structures and most importantly, people from damage and injury. These systems are used in many settings — from tall towers and skyscrapers to high-voltage power lines, stadiums and airplanes.
In addition to protecting structures, the need for lightning protection is also governed by legal frameworks. For workplaces in the UK, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require employers to prevent electrical hazards — including those caused by lightning strikes and the resulting surges. This makes lightning protection risk assessments and protective measures essential.
