Mains Earthbars

Approximately 300,000 lightning strikes hit the ground in Britain every year, with 30% reported to cause severe damage. In a world of increasingly complex and sophisticated buildings, it poses a significant risk to a wide range of structures, including the danger of fires. The air around a lightning strike is exceptionally hot, being estimated to reach 20,000 Celsius, which is hotter than the surface of the sun.

Whether you run a factory, oil facility or telecommunications station, there is the need for effective protection from this type of damage; lightning is unpredictable and safety measures must be in place all year round.

An earth termination system is crucial for dispersing a lightning current safely into the ground. Earth bars are an important part of this, as they’re an easy way to provide a common earth point.

If you need to purchase a Mains Earth bar, ETS Cable Components supply earthing and lightning protection products from leading manufacturers, including those from nVent ERICO.

ETS Cable Components have an extensive range of earth bars, including those without links, single disconnectable links, and twin disconnectable links.

Among our quality range is the EBAR 1000 which is intended for the connection of main bonding and circuit protection conductors. Manufactured from high-quality hard drawn copper, this Mains Earth Bar has a black powder-coated steel channel base.

We also have the EBAR 600 which is a main earthing terminal, intended for the connection of main bonding and circuit protection conductors.

Bespoke earth bars can be manufactured to your design specification. As LV & HV equipment becomes smaller, it is sometimes necessary to manufacture earth bars that require the same specification, but must fit a smaller space. Within our extensive range, we also offered tinned bars for harsher environments.

With this device you can print more than 150,000 cable tags with no need for arduous maintenance.

Cable Markers in a range of different sizes.

Our clip on Chevron Cable Markers have closed marker sleeves for installation onto unconnected wires and cables. They come in a range of sizes, from 0.5-0.75mm2. You will be supplied with a disc of 500 markers, so won’t be running out in a hurry. Labelled with black characters on a white background, these markers are extremely clear and prominent.

These clip-on markers come in a variety of styles, including those with the ‘earth symbol’.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Terminating Cables

November 21, 2013 by admin

The safe and correct working of accessories used for cable terminations is dependent upon many issues from the correct specification of the product through to competent installation. The following is a list of (maybe obvious) do’s and don’ts which should be adhered to.

heat shrink mv terminations

The “Do’s” of Cable Terminations

– Do ensure the correct products are specified – such as ColdShrink, Heatshrink or Screened Connectors.
– Do check associated products are compatible and safe to be used together.
– Do check the accessories and cable dimensions match.
– Do ask the manufacturer or distributor for more information on the product is required.
– Do prepare the cable and accessories in a suitable environment (clean and dry).
– Do ensure all staff are trained and competent to carry out the termination.
– Do use the correct tools for the job.
– Do ensure these tools are properly maintained and functioning properly.
– Do make sure the cable lugs/terminals are installed correctly – for crimp connectors, ensure the correct die sets and compatible tooling.
– Do smooth any sharp edges on lugs caused by crimping dies.
– Do read and follow installation instructions carefully.
– Do not forget to install the earthing system correctly.
– Do ensure heat shrink and cold shrink components are correctly positioned before shrinking or removal of cores.
– Do fully test the terminations after installation.

The “Don’ts” of Cable Terminations

– Don’t rush any part of the job.
– Don’t cut corners or take short cuts.
– Don’t allow sheds on adjacent cores of a three-core termination to touch – This can lead to discharging.
– Don’t allow any secondary wiring to be damaged when installing heat shrink sleeving.
