Have you ever noticed how cables safely enter and exit electrical enclosures? This is made possible by a small, yet critical component called a cable gland. Cable glands play a key role in protecting electrical wiring. They protect cables from moisture, contamination, corrosion, and flammable gases. More importantly, they ensure ...
Heat shrinkable products are polymer components that shrink when you apply heat. During manufacturing, we expand them, but when you heat them at site, they return to their original size and grip the cable tightly. In today’s blog, we will discuss the key factors you must consider while selecting heat ...
A Termination Kit is used to safely connect a cable to equipment like switchgear, transformers, or panels. It protects the cable end and ensures reliable performance in low, medium, and high voltage applications. In today’s blog, we will discuss the key components inside a heat shrink termination kit. Components of ...
In any electrical system, things can go wrong. Wires can get damaged, insulation can crack, water can enter a switchboard, etc. When this happens, electricity starts flowing where it should not. This unwanted flow is called fault current. Fault current is dangerous because it collects on metal parts like panels, ...
Every year, thousands of people are injured or killed by lightning strikes. What many don’t realize is that most of these disasters are preventable. In this blog, you will learn how to protect yourself from lighting strike as per IEC TR 62713. What is IEC TR 62713? This is an ...
A Distribution Box contains live electrical components and must provide insulation and protection during normal operation and fault conditions. These tests ensure electrical safety and reliable performance of your distribution box under real service conditions. In this blog, you will learn how to perform two important tests on a Distribution ...
In today’s blog, we will discuss the Insulation Piercing Connector Installation Checklist. This checklist helps you ensure your IPCs make reliable, long-lasting connections on site. What are Insulation Piercing Connectors? IPCs are used to connect two insulated cables without stripping the insulation. When you tighten the bolt, sharp metal teeth ...
Insulators support and separate live conductors on transmission and distribution lines from the supporting metallic structure. Their main role is to stop current from leaking on to the pole, tower or the ground. They securely hold the conductor in position, even when the line faces wind, load changes or mechanical ...
What decides if your cable lug is safe or if it fails in the field? The answer is simple. cULus and CSA approval. But before we talk about approvals, let us understand the basics. What are Cable Lugs? A cable lug is a connector that joins an electrical conductor to ...
Learn how to perform three important tests on suspension clamps: A) High Voltage Test B) Slipage Test C) Tensile Test Why are tests important? Suspension clamps support and hold the messenger cable in an Aerial Bundled Cable system. They carry electrical and mechanical loads under harsh outdoor conditions. These tests ...
