Keep Your Cables Safe and Secured with Short Circuit Protection
Cable faults in the field are a daily occurrence. While tray cables and armored cabling can protect your cabling and environment from external forces, they cannot control the internal electromechanical force that is generated in a matter of milliseconds during a short circuit event. This means that in the 100ms it takes for fault protection devices to react and trip, even armored cables will be repelled away from each other by that force, destroying fixtures and the cable tray and potentially damaging nearby equipment and personnel. Cable bundling with short circuit protection can prevent this damage by mitigating the whipping motion, keeping surrounding equipment intact and reducing the probability of insulation rapidly degrading and sending of sparks and shrapnel.
Panduit offers a wide array of solutions (in both traditional clamp and strapping styles) for every type of cabling application you may encounter in the field. Panduit’s cable cleats with short circuit protection are tested by engineer-designed simulations to verify that these products not only meet IEC and NEC standards but also cater to the application demands specific to the North American market. No matter the voltage, cleating your product is essential to minimize the damage of a short circuit event
