EURO-TOP EMC AMPACITY
The cable gland for applications with maximum current carrying capacity.
DISCOVER OUR UNIQUE EMC CABLE GUIT WITH HIGH CURRENT CARRYING CAPABILITY IEC 60512-5-2
Cable glands with high current dissipation capabilities are becoming increasingly important in modern production lines. A conventional EMC cable gland is not necessarily suitable for this.
Applications in the railroad sector or control systems such as VFD (Variable Frequency Device) or PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), where high-frequency signals are used, require further consideration: the high-frequency electrical signals used here can cause induced (fault) currents - even in the cable shields. The supply lines must therefore be dimensioned in such a way that these induced currents are earthed with low impedance. Otherwise, the system may fail because it can be heated up too much by the fault currents.
Although the earthing of electromagnetic signals is already realized by means of EMC cable glands, these still have to be modified in order to be able to discharge electrical currents of several hundred amperes without damage. Our "Euro-Top EMC Ampacity" was developed for these applications (Ampacity = maximum current carrying capacity).
External laboratory tests in accordance with IEC 60512-5-2 (current carrying capacity) and IEC 60512-5-1 (temperature rise) have shown that even with leakage currents of several 100 A, no significant temperature rise of the system can be observed when using our Euro-Top Ampacity cable glands.
In addition to the excellent current dissipation properties, our Euro-Top Ampacity cable glands naturally also offer the well-known outstanding EMC shielding values up to the GHz range. They are shock and vibration resistant in accordance with international automotive standards and are also easy to install.
