Short circuit tests carried out on Cablofil’s steel wire tray cable management systems at an independent test facility have proved that the cable management system can withstand the stresses that a fault would exert on the product.

Cablofil teamed up with cable cleat specialist, Ellis Patents, to commission the tests at the ASTA-approved Damstra Laboratory test site in the Netherlands.

The steel wire tray system passed two sets of tests with flying colours, achieving the results in duplicate to gain a Class 2 pass of the European Standard (EN 50368).

The first tests were carried out using Ellis Patents’ aluminium Alpha cable cleats and the steel wire tray passed this controlled short circuit testing with a peak current of 70kA. This was followed by short circuit tests using Ellis Patents’ stainless steel ‘Vulcan+’ cable cleat and here the steel wire tray passed with a peak current of 103kA. Steel wire cable tray can be specified confidently for a much wider range of installation requirements which will not only bring cost savings for the client but will enable installers to save time and manage their skilled resources more effectively.
 

Vulcan stainless steel cable cleats are suitable for single, trefoil, quad and bundled cable installations where moderate levels of short circuit withstand are required.

Ellis Patents Vulcan stainless steel cable cleats feature a compact design allowing easy installation where space is limited. Manufactured in type 316 stainless steel Vulcan cable cleats offer ultimate protection against the harshest environmental conditions providing excellent service performance in the offshore, marine, oil, gas and petrochemicals industry.

Vulcan stainless steel cable cleats come with an integral LSF Zero Halogen Polymeric liner and base pad to protect and cushion the cables during short circuit conditions.
