Thats fair enough, Like I said horses for courses
Ive always fancied trying one of them Pirhana nut things but never been given one to try out!
Got to say an earth tag does have a greater contact area than a gland /l.nut, the larger size tags 50-63-75 are rated at 10.40ka fault current so when the cables armour can exceed that value and there is a possibility that it might have to a gland with an integral earth boss should be used ,so the idea that the gland / termination doesn,t need earthing and that the trunking / gland plate is acceptable needs to be checked out.Can,t find the ka rating of glands though.
So where is that going to help when the fault level at the transformer is liable to be around 25KA?
Buffalo blood and urine concentrates have two of the colours covered, it's the blue we have trouble with.
Dont think he is talking about the Tranny now Tony.
depends on the scenario.Just cable installations in general, it would be wrong to assume that a piece of trunking or gland plate on its own is ok to gland into without checking possible fault currents
for a data cable? the swa is just for mechanical protection in this case as it would be for data rather than powerI was refering to power cables but to answer your question possibly if it was glanded into a plastic enclosure
Think the argument is 50/50 about the clamping the cables down although it gives that professional finish but must agree with everyone else ... heat shrink a must - tape is rough and you rely on the tape gum for the life span of the equipment although it poses not real safety risk a few yrs down the line your tape could be pealing and giving your work a poor reputation to anyone that follows you. Having said that if all your been pulled for is lack of heat shrink and a debatable lack of fixing then I wouldn't fret too much and take the advice on board.
Just spotted this post DW.
The jury has returned with a verdict. Have a look elsewhere for a topic on transformer tails. In particular the bit about magnetic reaction under fault conditions. It’s not a case of they look better, it’s a matter of safety.
Makes banjos seem insignificant doesn’t it.
