T&D distribute Ellis Patents cable cleats providing safety critical support to vital cable circuits. Cable cleats must withstand peak short circuit forces generated by the actual cable installation - Ellis Patents 3rd party certified cable cleats provide peace of mind containment of low and high voltage cables.

Ellis Patents are global leaders in the innovation and manufacture of nylon, aluminium and stainless steel cable cleats - EP satisfy the operational requirements of the construction, oil, gas, rail, utilities, wind energy and power generation industries.

Vital Short Circuit Protection with Ellis Patents Cable Cleats

Ellis Patents are a leading voice in the campaign to have cable cleats reclassified as short-circuit protection devices. A move that would mean cable cleats would be placed on a parallel with fuses and circuit breakers.

"This reclassification makes absolute sense. In the event of a cable fault, the forces between cables reach their peak in the first quarter cycle, which is the point that cable cleats earn their crust. In contrast, circuit breakers typically interrupt the fault after 3 or even 5 cycles by which time, if the cable cleats are underspecified, the cables will no longer be secure, but will be putting vital electrical installations and lives at unnecessary risk," says Paul Nolan UK Sales Manager, EP.
