CABLE GLANDS An Introduction to Different Types of Cable Glands. E I Section Training CABLE GLAND APPLICATION What is a Cable Gland ? STANDARD DEFINITION : “A device designed to permit the entry of a cable into electrical equipment and which provides sealing and retention. It may also provide other functions such as earthing ( or grounding ), bonding, insulation, strain relief,or a combination of these.”In addition to these a cable gland should maintain the overall integrity of the enclosure into which it is to be fitted. STEP 1: Cable Gland Selection What is the basic construction of the cable and how do we want to terminate it ? Unarmoured Cables will require the outer sheath seal within the gland to not only provide ingress protection but also a degree of retention. STEP 1 ( cont’n. ) Armoured Cables require a gland that features a clamping mechanism to terminate the armour both mechanically and electrically. The gland will usually be required to provide ingress protection by sealing on the outer sheath and retention by clamping the armour.Typically, armoured cables feature an inner sheath that the gland may be required to seal on. STEP 2 :The correct gland size The entry thread ( i.e.M20 ) is not as often perceived, the gland size but simply the entry thread size and specification.( also ?” NPT ) It is important to understand that selection of the correct gland size is based solely on cable dimensions : Outer Sheath Diameter STEP 2 ( cont’n. ) And where applicable : Inner Sheath Diameter Armour / Braid Thickness STEP 3:Maintaining the overall integrity of the installation. In order to maintain the overall integrity of the installation it is important to consider the equipment into which the cable is to be glanded and the sorrounding environment. The areas to consider are : CABLE ENTRY INGRESS PROTECTION STEP 3 ( cont’n. ) IMPACT RESISTANCE MATERIAL EXTERNAL INFLUENCES CERTIFICATION STEP 3 ( cont’n. ) Cable Entry : Entry type and / or thread specification.
