Think of Cable Cleats as Short Circuit Fault Insurance.
Short circuit failures can be expensive - and dangerous. When they occur, short circuits cause violent cable movement and restraint failure, failed terminations, equipment damage, unplanned downtime and cable replacement costs - and a serious safety hazard to personnel.
Short circuit failures are inevitable! The NETA (National Electrical Testing Association) says industrial facilities average one short circuit failure per year.
In addition, adequate cable restraints are required by the following standards:
- NFPA-70-2005, National Electrical Code®
- IEE Std 45
- US Coast Guard CFR 46 Sub Chapter J
- EN 50368:2003, Cable Cleats for Electrical Installations
- IEC SC23A, PT-61914
- BS 7671:1992, IEE Wiring Regulations
With the inevitability of short circuits and code requirements like those listed above, it makes good sense to upgrade existing or specify new cable systems with B-Line Emperor Cable Cleats to comply with existing standards and minimize personnel injury.
B-Line Emperor Cable Cleats are tested and certified to stringent BS EN 50368:2003 Category-2 short circuit protection and feature:
- Tested @ 235kA
- 316L Marine Grade Stainless Steel
- UV Stabilized LSF Polymeric Liner
- Range Take w/Thermal Expansion Capability
- Accepts Cables up to 5" (128mm) OD
- Rapid Installation
In addition, Emperor Cable Cleats:
- Fix, retain and support cables
- Restrain cables during a short circuit fault
- Enable the circuit to be restored once the fault has been repaired
- Protect personnel from wildly moving cables during a fault
