Introduction to Cable Glands

Cable Glands are mechanical cable entry devices, which can be constructed from metallic or non-metallic materials, and are used throughout all industries in conjunction with cable and wiring used in the electrical, instrumentation and automation systems. Cable Glands may be used on all types of electrical power, control, instrumentation, data and telecommunications cables. They are used as a sealing and terminating device to ensure that the characteristics of the enclosure which the cable enters can be maintained adequately. The main functions of the cable gland are listed briey as follows : Cable Glands may provide environmental protection by sealing on the outer cable sheath, excluding dust and moisture from the electrical or instrument enclosure. Cable Glands may facilitate earth continuity in the case of armoured cables, when the cable gland has a metallic construction. Cable Glands may provide a holding force on the cable to ensure adequate levels of cable pull out resistance. Cable Glands may provide additional sealing on the part of the cable entering the enclosure, when a high degree of ingress protection is required. Cable Glands may provide additional environmental sealing at the cable entry point, maintaining the ingress protection rating of the enclosure with the selection of applicable accessories dedicated to performing this function. When used in hazardous areas they are required to maintain the level of protection of the equipment to which they are attached.

Construction & Performance Standards

National Cable Gland standards may exist that determine the construction and performance requirements for cable glands. During the formative years of the rapidly expanding power generation industry in the United Kingdom, the acute need for a common standard reference document that could address cable gland requirements was recognised, and from this GDCD 190 was created. The original goal was later met by the British Standard BS 4121, when the industry had developed further and with more sophistication. Latterly in the 1970s BS 4121 was superseded by BS 6121 with the introduction of the metric system of measurement across Europe. Although it does not replace the full scope of the BS 6121 construction requirements, today there is a European Standard EN 50262, which offers manufacturers the opportunity of meeting its requirements by degrees of performance. It should be noted that whilst products that have been designed to comply with BS 6121 will quite comfortably meet the requirements of EN 50262, it does not automatically follow that cable glands designed to EN 50262 would also be able to comply with the requirements of BS 6121. At the time of writing a new draft IEC standard for cable glands, IEC 62444 is being reviewed and will be published in due course. It is the users responsibility to ensure that the cable gland selected is of the correct size and type to suit the type of cable being terminated. The information provided is intended to assist users in ensuring that the correct cable gland is selected. The European Cable Gland Standard EN 50262 : 1999 requires cable glands to be classied in accordance with their properties and performance. Users should therefore be aware that if they intend to select or specify cable gland products according to EN 50262 they must also stipulate clearly what classication from EN 50262 they require. Without such a clear denition the likelihood of the wrong product being obtained is increased.

Crucial Cable Care
When terminating cables and wires during the process of installation of electrical equipment this should be done by qualied and competent personnel in line with good engineering practice, observing safe electrical practices. It is also important that the correct cable entry device or cable gland is selected to suit the cable being used. For instances using normal unarmoured cables, the cable would usually be fed through a cable entry device that has a sealing ring activated onto the cable outer sheath. The choice of cable glands to suit this unarmoured cable may need to take into account any vulnerability of the cable, which may be especially critical if the cable is an instrumentation cable. Two factors which could affect the long term cable performance are the type and design of the cable gland sealing function, and the possibility of this being inadvertently, or otherwise, over tightened onto the cable sheath. In some applications it may be necessary to provide some mechanical protection to prevent the cables from being damaged or completely severed by accidental encroachment of machinery or other major impact. This mechanical protection may be provided in the shape of a metallic conduit that can house individual insulated cable conductors or a normal unarmoured sheathed cable. Alternatively a metallic sheath or armour included in the cable construction during its manufacturing process may be used.

When cables with a protective metallic sheath or armour are chosen, these may be constructed with or without an extruded inner bedding, underneath the layer of armouring. In some cases this extruded bedding may be substituted by a polymeric covering or tube that contains the insulated conductors. Cable glands for armoured cables, with a single outer seal should be selected for cables without an inner bedding or covering under the armour. Cable glands for armoured cables, with a double, inner & outer seal conguration would normally be selected for cables with an inner bedding or covering under the armour.

Overview of Different Seal Types

i. ii. iii. iv. v. In general there are ve different types of sealing methods used on the cable inner bedding, which are:Compression Seal Displacement Seal Diaphragm Seal Compensating Displacement Seal (CDS) System Compound Barrier Seal.

These are better described as follows :-

i. Compression Seal (Sealing Ring)

The Compression Seal is an elastomeric sealing ring that has a V groove or weak back in its design that is intended to be closed in order to create a downward seal on the cable inner bedding, when the same compressive force is equally applied to both sides of the seal. i. Compression Seal

ii. Displacement Seal (Sealing Ring)

The Displacement Seal does not employ a weak back design. Instead the Displacement Seal is gradually pushed down a taper until it makes an effective seal on the cable. ii. Displacement Seal

iii. Diaphragm Seal (Sealing Ring)

The Diaphragm Seal comprises of a exible elastomeric membrane that is usually attached to the armour cone, and it is designed to t snugly after stretching over the cable inner bedding. This is intended to make no impression on the cable inner bedding. iii. Diaphragm Seal

Technical & Application Information Base

iv. Compensating Displacement Seal (CDS) System (Sealing Ring)
The Compensating Displacement Seal system utilises the principal of the Displacement Seal but with the addition of a compensator that limits or controls the force applied to the cable inner bedding. iv. Compensating Displacement

v. Compound Barrier Seal (Epoxy Resin Compound or Alternative)

The compound barrier seal is made on site by the technician completing the installation and is used primarily in hazardous areas where the inner cable bedding must be removed and a hard setting resin barrier seal that has been specially tested for use in potentially explosive atmospheres is applied around the conductors equally applied to both sides of the seal.

v. Sealing Compound Flameproof Barrier

Overview of Cable Gland Construction Types

When appraising products for an application the particular type of sealing ring employed within the cable gland design may be thedeciding factor in terms of cable gland selection. It should be recognised that cables are produced in various parts of the world to numerous different national and international standards, and the physical characteristics of one cable made by a certain manufacturer may differ considerably from another makers product, even when the two cables have the same theoretical electrical parameters or ratings. Close attention should be paid to this selection process taking into account the cable construction and any vulnerability it may present. Some cable gland constructions are more compatible with certain cable types than others, and this is often due to the sealing method incorporated. Cable Gland Construction utilising Compression Seal A typical cable gland utilising a compression seal within its design, as the example shown below, has been known to cause cable damage due to over tightening as it has no inbuilt functionality to prevent the user from over tightening. When this type of cable gland is installed, the action of tightening the inner sealing ring is combined with the termination of the metallic cable armour. This leads the user to feel the need to tighten the assembly as far as he can to ensure that he has a good reliable earth continuity path, and often the cable inner bedding suffers as a result. In effect there is no real control over how tight the inner sealing ring is applied to the cable inner bedding, when the tightening of the cable gland body performs two actions in one step.

Compression Seal

Weak Back Design

The sealing on the cable inner bedding and the armour termination are effected in one simultaneous action, which typically involves the armour cone being tightened until it reaches a dened mechanical stop. This can lead to the compression seal being over compressed, especially on the larger cable diameters for each cable gland size.

This can be loosely described as over tightening, and is a common problem with certain cable gland types. It should be noted that none of the cable glands supplied by Ducab utilise compression seals on the cable inner bedding.

Technical & Application Information Base

Cable Gland Construction Utilising Displacement Seal
This type of seal is usually employed in a cable gland that utilises a 3 stage Step by Step sequential make off, where the tightening of the armour termination is separated from the activation of the inner seal. This enables the effectiveness of the seal on the cable inner bedding to be tested before the armour is terminated. This means that unlike other designs the user is able to determine that the engagement of the seal on the cable inner bedding is not too light and not too heavy, affording some level of control over the installation. It can be noted that this displacement seal arrangement is the standard method of sealing on the cable inner bedding adopted by Ducab. Displacement Seal

Cable Gland Construction Utilising Compensating Displacement Seal (CDS) System

The Compensating Displacement Seal system is designed to allow users to fully tighten the cable gland components together every time, without damaging the cable. The use of an internal compensator enables the CDS arrangement to be fully tightened regardless of the cable diameter. This unique approach offers a solution that allows the installation personnel to carry out their objectives to schedule without the likelihood of re-work potentially arising from over tightening.

Industry Standard Cable Gland Designations

Cable Glands may be designed, tested and manufactured to various standards around the world. The British Standard BS 6121, and its predecessor BS 4121, have more than 30 years of exposure in meeting real life industry situations, not just in the UK but also around the world. In fact BS 6121 also established the industry standard cable gland type designations that still prevail today for simple cable gland identication. It should be noted however that the type designation for a given cable gland product does not determine the precise method of sealing adopted.

Generic Cable References

The following key and tables set out the regular cable identications derived from the traditional British Standards, the terminology of abbreviations that is associated with these cables, and also where these cables may typically be used in everyday applications. Key to Armoured Cable Type Designations as Dened in BS 6121: Part 1: 1989 [W] - Cables with Single Wire Armour (SWA) used extensively in onshore plant both above ground and directly buried in the ground, and is probably the most common type of armoured cable used in the world. This cable type is produced mainly with steel wires, but is also supplied with aluminium wire armour, especially when the cable is either a single core cable or has aluminium conductors. [T] Cables with Pliable Wire Armour (PWA) used extensively in the mining and quarrying industry particularly in underground deep coal mines, as it offers high level of mechanical protection but added exibility compared with SWA. [X] - Cable with Braid Armour (e.g. GSWB) used onshore and offshore and comes in a wide variety of types, including galvanised steel wire, tinned copper wire, bronze wire, and is the standard for marine shipboard cables, and the offshore oil and gas industry around the world, because of its high level of exibility. [Y] - Cable with Strip Armour (e.g. ASA) used onshore, offering heavy duty service, high level of mechanical protection but is probably the least common type of armoured cable. This cable type is often produced with aluminium strip armour but is also supplied using steel strip armour. [Z] - Cable with Tape Armour (e.g. STA) primarily used onshore, often referred to as DSTA, and the tape armour is manufactured in either steel (STA) or aluminium (ATA). The use of Tape Armour can mean a lighter, leaner and smaller diameter alternative to SWA, but may not be available from all cable manufacturers. Cables that can be supplied either equipped or not equipped with armour types listed above may be produced to the following typical cable standards: BS 5308, BS 5467, BS 6004, BS 6007, BS 6116, BS 6346, BS 6480, BS 6500, BS 6622, BS 6724, BS 6883, IEC 60092, IEC 60502.

Fire Performance Cables
The development of electric cables for re situations has meant that Fire Performance cables have become an almost everyday requirement in the construction industry globally, but the general subject of re performance cables can be a complex one. The need for cables to continue to perform in the event of a re is more prevalent today than ever before, and in the case of public buildings the need to reduce the toxicity content in the materials used to produce cables carries equal importance. The dangers of re would include the safety of people and the continuous functioning of electrical circuits required to maintain safety. In the case of electric cables their construction may need to address some or all of the following; re survival, re resistance, re propagation, ame retardancy, smoke emission and toxicity. Even if the electrical circuit was not the cause of a re, the electric cable may very well be engulfed in a re that has started elsewhere. Consequently the compounds that the cable is produced from should not contribute to the re, help spread it, or emit gases during combustion that could harm people or damage equipment. Another aspect to consider is that the density of smoke generated in the event of a re should not be sufcient to obscure emergency exit signs. Most cable standards therefore include some kind of re performance and testing requirements, but there are many in existence.

Fire Test Standards for Cables

Here are a selection of standards used in relation to re tests for cables: BS 6387 : Performance requirements for cables required to maintain circuit integrity under re conditions

EN 50266 : Common test methods for cables under re conditions - Test for vertical ame spread of vertically-mounted bunched wires or cables EN 50267 : Common test methods for cables under re conditions - Tests on gases evolved during combustion of materials from cables EN 50200 : Method of test for resistance to re of unprotected small cables for use in emergency circuits

BS 8434-1 : Methods of test for assessment of the re integrity of electric cables. Test for unprotected small cables for use in emergency circuits. (EN 50200 with addition of water spray) BS 8434-2 : Methods of test for assessment of the re integrity of electric cables. Test for unprotected small cables for use in emergency circuits. (EN 50200 with a 930C ame and with water spray) IEC 60331 : Tests for electric cables under re conditions IEC 60332 : Tests on electric and optical bre cables under re conditions

IEC 60754 : Test on gases evolved during combustion of materials from cables

IEC 61034 : Measurement of smoke density of cables burning under dened conditions.

Halogen Free or Low Smoke & Fume Materials

As outlined in the previous subject certain cable types are designed with the performance capability of surviving re conditions for a specied period, whilst other cable types may be manufactured using polymer compounds that generate lower smoke and fume emissions. In such cases the cables may be identied as being Halogen Free, Low Smoke & Fume (LSF), Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), or Zero Halogen Low Smoke (ZHLS). These compare favourably with traditional electric cables that were likely to generate noxious emissions of gases in re situations, that may have been manufactured and installed many years ago, prior to the introduction of the most recent cable standards and the development of new environmentally friendly compounds. It is equally important that the materials used in the manufacture of cable management products, including cable cleats, cable clamps cable glands, their seals, and any shrouds that are required to be tted, can offer the same high level of compliance in the way of lower smoke and fume emissions. Some cables, but not all, that bear Low Smoke & Fume and /or Zero Halogen characteristics may have an inner cable bedding that is extruded from a compound which has not been fully cured during the manufacturing process. This is often referred to as a soft bedding, and this itself brings an additional factor to consider when selecting appropriate cable sealing glands to suit cables having this characteristic.

Ducab Low Smoke & Fume (LSF) Materials
Ducab has been instrumental in the eld of providing cable management solutions produced from materials that are designed to reduce the risk of toxic emissions and smoke inhalation. These solutions or products include cable cleats, cable clamps, cable glands, and their accessories, all of which are required to meet the same exacting standards as is applied to electric cables. In the past cable gland seals were generally manufactured form Neoprene materials (e.g. Polychloroprene or Chloroprene CR), although there are varying grades and types of Neoprene materials on the market, and shrouds were most commonly produced from PVC (Polyvinyl chloride). At the time when these materials were rst selected for certain applications they may well have been chosen because they were the best or the most readily available material source to suit the intended use. Now however with the benet of hindsight, and with a greater emphasis on environmentally friendly substances, taking into account the health & safety requirements for people occupying public buildings or being in public places, the commonly used materials of the past have become less attractive for use in cable management products. Now, with the availability of a new generation of improved material compounds and formulas it has been possible to draw comparisons identifying that Neoprene and PVC would no longer be the rst choice when it comes to smoke and fume emissions. With its LSF brand of Low Smoke & Fume elastomeric compound formula, Ducab has helped spearhead the drive in the industry, by specication, to ensure a higher degree of protection in terms of reduced levels of noxious fumes and toxic emissions generated from cable related products in the event of a re. For further information please refer to EN 50267-2-1 : 1999 Common Test Methods for Cables Under Fire Conditions - Tests on Gases Evolved During Combustion of Materials From Cables - Part 2-1: Procedures - Determination of the Amount of Halogen Acid Gas.

Ducab initially witnessed signicant demand during the new construction of public buildings such as airports, tunnels, MRT systems, ofce blocks, shopping centres, sports stadia, libraries etc. but the maturing market demand has also extended to wider areas other than the above. One particularly signicant application has been the use of LSF products range within the underground railway system in the UKs capital city. Throughout London Underground Limited (LUL) there is an overriding priority for the safety of passengers. One of the greatest dangers in any deep bore metro system is the difculty of evacuating customers and staff in the event of a major re. It has therefore been LUL's policy for many years to control the re performance of materials used underground through its own requirements in addition to those required by legislation. Although this is not a new situation, LUL operates a process, within its re safety department, that evaluates the properties of compounds used in cable and cable related products against specied materials re performance requirements. Ducab has extensive experience of meeting the conditions of these tests and supplying various products to such a safety critical area. One of the advantages of using new polymer compound formulas for the manufacture of cable gland seals and shrouds etc. is that they can also offer additional benets in the way of performance in several key areas, such as : Increased Resistance to Ozone Improved UV Resistance Improved Oil Resistance

Ducab has had the material used in the LSF Seals and Shrouds independently 3rd Party tested to EN 50267-2-1, the test standard applied to cables to determine the amount of halogen acid gas evolved during combustion of materials. The objective of the test is to identify whether the halogen acid gas evolved from the material is within the maximum 5mg/g permitted by the standard. Ducab declares that the LSF material emits less than 5mg/g acid gas, which satises the requirements of this EN 50267-2-1, and the results of the Fire Laboratory tests conrm that material is classied as Halogen Free. For clarication, the EN 50267-2-1 standard reveals that :Materials found to emit <150 mg/g (<15%) halogen acid gas during combustion are classed as Low Halogen Materials found to emit <5 mg/g (<0.5%) halogen acid gas during combustion are classed as Halogen Free.

Getting to Grips with Soft Bedded Cables
The increasing popularity of re resistant and ame retardant cables i.e. Ducab Smokemaster Cables particularly for safety focussed application such as oil & gas installations, reneries and chemical plants has led to a proliferation of what are commonly described as soft bedded cables. A general description of a soft-bedded cable is one which employs materials, which exhibit, signicant cold ow characteristics, i.e. thermoplastic materials, which ow when subject to pressure at ambient temperature. This bedding is the cable inner bedding, which in the case of an armoured cable, is the part of the cable which enters the equipment. Particular care should generally be taken when installing this type of cable, so as to avoid cable damage due to over tightening of cable gland seals on the cable inner bedding. The selection of suitable cable glands to complement this type of cable construction is vital, as the traditional compression seal cable gland is most likely to cause excessive pressure on the part of the cable which is most vulnerable, leading to cable damage and potential long term di-electric problems. An increased level of attention in this area may be required for installations in hazardous areas for obvious reasons. A common method of addressing this problem is to use adisplacement seal, whereby the seal is gradually displaced as the cable gland is tightened, virtually eliminating any damage to cable bedding. The purpose of this design enables the user to control the level of displacement of the seal, ensuring a functional and more importantly, safe, seal is achieved without exerting any unduepressure onto the cable. An example of a cable gland utilising adisplacement seal on the cable inner bedding is shown below.The other important fact to note is that this also utilises a separatetightening action for the inner seal and the armour terminationcompartment, which is the differentiating feature compared with other cable gland designs.

Naturally, many factors inuence the nal method of installation including, environment, ambient temperatures, and the specic construction of the cable being used. Ducab Products are always willing to provide an expert assessment of a given application,

drawing on many years experience of installation procedures, providing assurances that a safe solution is achieved every time.

Ingress Protection Ratings

In the construction industry generally, a signicant volume of industrial electrical installations require a high level of ingress rotection to be afforded from the equipment selected for the installation and the integrity of the installed apparatus. Like other electrical equipment enclosures that are required to have a veried Ingress Protection rating, cable glands are also required to be tested to recognised standard test methods for Ingress Protection, as per the example table overleaf. Ducab cable glands have been 3rd party independently tested in order to validate their Ingress Protection ratings, or I.P. ratings, in accordance with the requirements of EN60529 (IEC 60529). Some of the Ducab cable gland types have been tested to IP66, whilst other types have been tested to IP66, IP67 & IP68, to a depth of 10 metres*. Ingress Protection should not be confused with Deluge Protection (i.e. the DTS 01 : 91 Deluge Test) which lays down a set of specic standard tests that are different from those in the IEC 60529 standard. It should be noted that none of the I.P. rating values taken from EN 60529 or IEC 60529 are equivalent to the Deluge Test Specication DTS 01 : 91. Further information on the subject of Deluge Protection can be reviewed in this catalogue.

Deluge Protection Specication DTS01:91
Offshore platforms are subject to routine testing of their emergency deluge systems with up to 30,000 litres of water per minute being unloaded in the modules making up the process areas. To keep pace with this development, equipment manufacturers required to have their products tested for such conditions. The DTS01 Test Specication was developed by Shell UK in conjunction with ERA Technology, based in Leatherhead, Surrey. Since its inception in 1991 it has become widely accepted by all major offshore operating companies as the standard to meet in respect of deluge protection. Electrical equipment on offshore installations may be located in areas which are equipped with the emergency deluge facilities. Exposure of such equipment must not lead to water ingress in quantities which could cause the equipment to become a potential source of ignition when exposed to a ammable atmosphere. The introduction of DTS 01 created a standard method of tests to be carried out on electrical equipment, components, devices and motors to simulate their exposure to realistic water deluge conditions and establish their potential hazard. This was considered to far outreach any of the Ingress Protection tests that were already performed under the IEC 60529 standard, as longer term exposure to the typical marine and offshore environment often brought with it more onerous conditions than those anticipated by IEC 60529. The Deluge Test utilises a salt water solution controlled at predetermined temperatures and this is applied using medium velocity nozzles at a pressure in the range of 3.5 to 4.5 bar. To make the test more realistic additional pre-conditioning is applied to the samples to be tested. This pre-conditioning can optionally consist of either exposure to vibration or thermal ageing depending upon the nature of the equipment under test. The purpose of this pre-conditioning is to simulate accelerated ageing of the seals used in the equipment prior to the tests being conducted, which is considered to be equivalent to 20 years of service at normal operating temperatures. With cable glands it is more logical to have their sealing rings (cable sealing device) subjected to the rapid thermal ageing rather than vibration exposure tests. The cable glands and sealing rings are conditioned in a humidity chamber for 14 days, at 95C and a relative humidity of 90%.They are then further subject to a temperature of 100C for 14 days, prior to the deluge test commencing. The glands are then installed into equipment which is heated to simulate its operating temperature at a typical ambient, and are subjected to a cold water deluge spray, creating an internal vacuum, which would draw water through the cable glands into the equipment if the deluge seal did not perform. The ageing of cable gland seals, taking into account such things as the heat cycling effects of electrical apparatus, is seen as having a major bearing on proving true long term protection against deluge conditions. One of the features of a true deluge proof cable gland for armoured, or braided, cables which makes it stand out above other standard cable glands is the inclusion of a deluge seal. This deluge seal is applied in the joint where the cable gland body terminates the cable armour. Prior to the introduction of high powered emergency deluge systems the problem that was experienced in the most hostile offshore situations was frequent yet often premature cable braid armour corrosion. This corrosion was occurring due to the ingress of water through the armour termination compartment of the cable gland, even when a cable gland had passed an Ingress Protection test of IP66 or higher. Following investigation, the evidence pointed to the fact that during energising and de-energising of the electrical equipment the heat cycling effects were causing positive and negative changes in the internal pressure of the equipment. This change in pressure was in turn causing water to work its way around the threaded joints in the cable gland via a capillary action that meant the cable armour would in time be contaminated by salt water. This often led to rapid deterioration and even corrosive breakdown of the cable armour. In the experience of major oil and gas operating companies, this known problem was rst discovered as a serious problem when earth continuity checks highlighted the fact that there was no continuity through the cable at all. Tackling this serious problem and also going one step further in addressing the requirements of the Deluge Test at the same time, when potentially more frequent exposure to salt water conditions would result, Ducab in conjunction with our partner, was the rst manufacturer to introduce a Deluge Proof cable gland design. This design of course featured a positive sealing function between the cable gland components that make up the armour termination joint, like the example shown below. It should be recognised that whilst it may be possible to obtain an IP67 or IP68 rating with a cable gland that does not include a deluge seal feature, it is highly unlikely that such a product would pass the conditions of the DTS 01 : 91 Deluge Test and realistically ensure long term cable armour preservation in offshore or marine installations.

Deluge Seal

The results of the tests that have been carried out conrm the Ducab range of Deluge Protected Cable Glands can be safely specied for use in deluge conditions, in the sure knowledge that their long term performance will maintain protection against the ingress of water. This has been a major factor in the decision making process of a number of major Clients on key projects in both

the offshore and marine industry as well as other exposed onshore facilities. Cable Gland products that feature a deluge seal are not only intended for the offshore oil and gas industry, but are also equally suitable for use in the Water Treatment industry, or anywhere where the process equipment may be subject to occasional submersion or ooding.

The specic range of Ducab Cable Glands which fully comply with the Deluge Test specication DTS01 includes, but is not limited to : Triton CDS (T3CDS & T3CDSPB family) Armoured Cable Gland E1* Series Deluge Option Armoured Cable Gland Protex 2000 (PX2K family) Armoured Compound Barrier Cable Gland.

Functional Safety
IEC 61508 is the international standard for the functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic safety related systems. It sets out the requirements for ensuring that systems are designed, implemented, operated and maintained to provide the required safety integrity level (SIL). Four SILs are dened according to the risks involved in the system application, with SIL4 being applied for the highest risks. The standard species a process that can be followed by all links in the supply chain so that information about the system can be communicated using common terminology and system parameters.

Other standards related to the application of the IEC 61508 approach with specic relevance to particular sectors include IEC 61511 relating to process industries, IEC 61513 relating to nuclear industries, and IEC62061 relating to the machinery sector.

Electrical Safety in the Work Place
Electrical Safety in the workplace should always be observed and never be underestimated. Local codes of practice or regulations may be in force to ensure that safety is maintained to eliminate the possibility of accidents arising from the danger of electricity. These dangers would include Electric Shock, Burns, Fire, Explosion and Arcing. In the United Kingdom the the Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations 2002, introduced under Statutory Instrument No. 2665, and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAW Regulations), which came into force on 1 April 1990, comprehensively deals with this subject. The purpose of these far reaching regulations is to ensure that the necessary precautions are taken against the risk of death or personal injury at work. This involves the imposition of duties on employers and employees in respect of electrical systems, equipment and conductors and the installation of the same. Other national and international standards will also exist and these should be observed when required. IEC standards standards related to electrical safety include: IEC 61140: Protection against electric shock Common aspects for installation and equipment. This standard covers the Basic rules, Requirements for protective provisions, Description of protective measures, Combination of protective measures, and special operating and servicing conditions. IEC 60364-4-41: Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 4-41: Protection for safety - Protection against electric shock. This standard species essential requirements regarding protection against electric shock, including basic protection (protection against direct contact) and fault protection (protection against indirect contact) of persons and livestock. IEC 60364-5-54: Electrical installations of buildings - Part 5-54: Selection and erection of equipment Earthing arrangements, protective conductors and equipotential bonding. This standard covers the basic requirements for earthing and bonding for safety purposes, and Protective conductors.

Wiring Regulations and Earthing Requirements

It is important to realise that regulations may differ from region to region or country to country and the need to comply with the local regulations or requirements should equally be recognised. There are several different standards in existence that may need to be followed, and in the United Kingdom BS 7671:2001, the IEE Wiring Regulations 16th Edition, and BS 7430:1998, the code of practice for earthing, are the applicable prevailing industry standards. Depending on the situation it may also be necessary to follow the IEC standards, e.g. IEC 60364 - Electrical Installation in Buildings. Outside of the IEC arena, both the standards and the terminology which they use may differ considerably from the norm. In North America, for example earthing would normally be referred to as grounding. The earthing of both the electrical systems, and also the metallic structures that they may come into contact with is a safety critical activity for obvious reasons. In the United Kingdom the BS 7430:1998 the code of practice for earthing, provides guidance on earthing of electrical supply systems, electrical installations and connected equipment, for the proper operation of systems and the protection of life. This covers basic principles, earthing methods and most general applications. When using armoured cables (or conduit), both in onshore and offshore or marine situations, any metallic parts of the cable (or conduit) must be earthed, and this also applies to the lead covering used in lead sheathed cables. Wherever armoured cables are used it is normal practice to terminate the metallic armour, and / or lead cover (lead sheath) in the body of a metallic cable gland. In accordance with BS 7671:2001, the IEE Wiring Regulations 16th Edition, both the cable and the accessories used for its connection must be tested to ensure compliance with the required safety levels. Cable glands and their xing accessories and earth tags must be selected correctly to ensure that any risk of electric shock to personnel from coming into contact with live parts due to inferior earth connection is avoided. These earthing components must therefore be able to meet the minimum short circuit fault current withstand tests of the associated cable, and also be installed by competent personnel in line with good engineering practices The cable armour is primarily for mechanical protection, and as already stated, this metallic armour must be effectively earthed. In general, the armour wire current carrying capacity must be equal to 50% of that of the largest current carrying conductor in the cable. The cable must be tested to determine its short circuit earth fault current rating, with the earth fault current being carried by the cable armour wires. Users should refer to the cable manufacturers design data for the short circuit fault current carrying capacity of the armour wires of each cable.

Technical & Application Information Base

Cable glands connected to SWA cables must be able to provide earth continuity from the termination point of the armour in the cable gland body through to the equipment, if the enclosure is metallic, or via a metallic gland plate that is bonded to an external earth point, and / or directly to an external earth point via an earth tag. In the interests of safety most earthing systems associated with armoured cables will utilise a number of directly grounded external earth link cables connected to the earth tag which is in contact with the cable gland. Usually the cable would be earthed at one of its two ends as a minimum, and this approach ensures that in the event of a short circuit or earth fault in the cable, the quickest and most direct route to ground will be achieved as a result of the design philosophy adopted. When multiple cable entries are required in non-metallic enclosures (e.g. GRP terminal box) that do not have an external earth point, the user may prefer to engage an external earth cable between each metallic cable gland via an earth tag. At least one of the earth tags would also be used to connect an earth cable directly to ground. This method of providing earth continuity is sometimes referred to as a daisy-chain arrangement. The earth tag described above must also be tested to ensure that it can withstand the equivalent short circuit earth fault current test rating of the cable and cable gland, otherwise the system will not have adequate (safety) earth protection. In addition to the standard requirements for SWA cables, there is a set of special guidelines for lead covered cables intended for direct burial in the ground of hydrocarbons processing and renery sites. These guidelines were introduced in the UK by the Oil Companies Material Association (OCMA) and responsibility for these was subsequently transferred to EEMUA, the Engineering Equipment and Material Users Association. The EEMUA Publication 133 Specication for Underground Armoured Cable Protected Against Solvent Penetration and Corrosive Attack denes the requirements of the petroleum industry for underground lead-sheathed cables for use where protection against solvent penetration or corrosive attack is required. When the cable is LC / PVC / SWA the addition of the lead sheath introduces another metallic part of the cable that could effectively become live in the event of an earth fault or induced voltage and this must also be earthed. Any metallic parts used to terminate the lead sheath as part of the earth path must also be tested and documented to demonstrate that adequate levels of protection are maintained. In the case of LC / SWA cables the earth fault short circuit levels will be increased due to the parallel earth path existing between the armour wires and the lead sheath. It is important therefore that the whole cable gland and earth tag arrangement is tested on lead sheathed cable to ensure that the arrangement can withstand the overall affects resulting from short circuit in the cable armour / lead sheath. If the cable glands and accessories chosen have not been tested, and are incorrect the connection of the earth circuit via the cable armour will become the weakest link in the system, and could result in potential fatality, lost time incident (LTI) or other accident.

Safe Earthing Systems

The need for safe earthing systems has been around for many years since the early development of the electrical power industry, but the much wider spread use of electrical energy for every imaginable application merely increases the need for an increase in the safety associated with earthing. In the United Kingdom the BS 7430:1998 code of practice for earthing should be observed. Before we can discuss the problem of how to provide adequate and safe earthing systems, we should rst consider the causes of earth faults. These can be caused by Lightning, Earth Leakage Current & Voltage, Differential Voltage Faults, Cable Capacitance Discharge, Circulating Currents, Fault Conditions from Loose or Inadequate Connections, or Human (Installation) errors, including the absence of the correct electrical protection devices, the installation of incorrect protection devices, incorrect installation, or failure to observe regulations. Good quality and reliable earthing systems are therefore essential to protect against the situations arising as previously mentioned. Both cable manufacturers and cable gland manufacturers must cater in their design for the eventuality of an earth fault being carried via the cable armour, which is primarily intended for mechanical protection, but which may also be able to double up as the safe means to carry the earth fault conditions to ground. This may be the case with some Low Voltage cables as well as Medium & High Voltage cables, but in the latter two cases a higher fault current may be expected to occur in these cables. Each cable that is expected to be able to carry an earth fault via its integral armour would have a rated current carrying capacity. When a metallic cable gland is connected to an equipment enclosure which may also be metallic, or alternatively non-metallic, an Earth Tag may be required to ground the earth circuit via an Earth Link Cable or connect to another piece of equipment. These are intended to provide an earth bond connection as specied in BS 6121 : Part 5 : 1993, and subsequently EN 50262.

Ducab CIEL (Cast Integral Earth) Cable Glands

In the event that MV and HV cables have a High Fault Current Carrying Capacity, via their Single Wire Armour congurations, the fault rating of the cable may be higher than those of the standard Ducab Earth Tags. In this case it would not be advisable to use standard earth tags as it is important to match the rated fault current of the earth tag to the corresponding fault current rating of the cable armour. If the rating of the earth tag is greater than the fault current rating of the mating cable armour then using the earth tag would be acceptable, but the situation may be unsafe if the rating of the cable armour fault current carrying capacity is greater than that of the standard earth tag. In such cases the perfect solution to overcome potential over heating and possible ash over, would be to use the Ducab CIEL solution which involves the inclusion of an integral Cast Integral Earth Lug arrangement, in the cable gland assembly. The Ducab CIEL range uses the same principal design concept as a standard CW, E1W, or E2W cable gland product in terms of sealing and / or hazardous area protection, but with additional facility for extra heavy duty earth connection. This product design is available in Brass, Nickel Plated Brass, and Aluminium, and can be supplied in the Cable Gland Types CW CIEL, CWe CIEL, E1W CIEL, E1FW CIEL, E2W CIEL & E2FW CIEL.

The Ducab ZEN cable gland is available with or without the integral extra heavy duty earth lug featured in the Ducab CIEL cable gland range, and this allows a whole range of options to be considered in terms of engineering solutions being adopted. Either in conjunction with other cable glands from the Ducab CIEL family or not, the Ducab CIEL product enables engineers to design safe earthing systems that can effectively deal with : Cross Talk Noise Reduction Earth Fault Segregation The Electrical Separation of Main Earths Fault Current Reduction with Series Cable Resistance Electrical Noise Reduction in Instrument Cables Circulating Current Protection in Single Core Cables or Three Core Cables with unbalanced Load Conditions

In addition to the recognised causes of earth faults described above, other environmental factors would also have an impact upon the overall electrical performance, and require reliable safe earthing systems in order to protect against them. These environmental considerations would include the possibility of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI / RFI), cross talk and induced voltages stemming from the positioning of cables. It has been a known fact for many years in the power generation industry that unless special measures are taken to both segregate the cables in accordance with wiring regulations, and also isolate the metallic cable armour from running in continuous contact throughout the whole of the earthing system, interference or electrical noise was likely to spread around the extent of the plant. To combat the sometimes intense levels of interference that had been experienced in practice, users were able to use the Ducab ZEN range of Insulated Cable Glands, which would allow the cables to be earthed at one end only, for example the supply end, and insulated at the eld end (sometimes known as single point bonding). ZEN is available with an insulating arrangement to ensure that no contact is made between the earth circuit carried through the cable armour and the electrical enclosure which the cable enters. This isolation of the cable armour at one end of the cable is sometimes referred to as single point earthing.

It may also be of interest to note that versions of the CIEL cable gland range are available from Ducab which have been tested approved and used in containment areas of the Nuclear Power Generation industry. These are normally used in conjunction with our insulated adaptor range. (Please also refer to the section on adaptors and reducers).

EC Directives
Whilst cable glands are intended for the connection of electrical cables, and after installation become an integral part of the electrical system, they are not electrically connected to the cable conductors. They are primarily mechanical devices used in the sealing of cables entering electrical equipment. In the case of armoured cables, their application involves the termination of the metallic armour and in this case may only be subject to a current carrying function in the event of an earth fault. The applicability of the below Directives in respect of Ducab cable glands is fully explained in the following paragraphs, and in the case of the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, further information can be found in the Hazardous Area section of this catalogue.

The following EC Directives could be considered as being applicable to the majority of electrical equipment :Directive 73/23/EEC Directive 89/336/EEC Directive 2002/95/EC Directive 2002/96/EC Directive 94/9/EC The Low Voltage Directive (LVD) The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive The Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive The Equipment intended for use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX) Directive

Low Voltage Directive

The original Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 73/23/EEC was introduced to ensure that electrical equipment within certain voltage limits both provide a high level of safety and protection for European citizens. The Directive covers electrical equipment designed for use with a voltage rating of between 50 and 1000 V for alternating current and between 75 and 1500 V for direct current. The Directive provides essential health and safety requirements for the range of products within its scope, ensuring that the electrical equipment is safe in its intended use. For most electrical equipment, the emissions of Electromagnetic Fields are also under the domain of the Low Voltage Directive. Directive 73/23/EEC was re-issued under the new document 2006/95/EC but the text content remained unchanged. Cable glands are passive elements of the electrical installation and are not considered to fall under the scope of the Low Voltage Directive.

EMC Directive
The EMC Directive has been amended several times under the subsequent Directives 92/31/EC, 93/68/EEC, 98/13/EC, and 99/5/EC. A new EMC 2004/108/EC Directive became effective on 20th July, 2007. The EMC Directive requires that products must not generate unwanted electromagnetic pollution, or interference, and that products must be immune to a reasonable amount of interference. Cable glands, which are not considered to fall under the scope of the EMC as they are neither capable of emitting electromagnetic interference nor being susceptible to it, may be used to contribute to the electromagnetic compatibility of installations. Several industry studies have been conducted as to the effect of cable terminations in systems that are required to provide a specied degree of EMC protection. Ducab Products have been subjected to 3 metre Class B Radiated Emission Measurement tests in accordance with EN 55022 to verify the performance of cable sealing glands that are terminated on screened and armoured cables using a 360 termination of the metallic cable sheath. The typical results of these tests are shown in the gures overleaf, with the noise reduction performance levels seen to be signicantly improved in gure ii when the cable has been correctly terminated in the Ducab cable gland. Figure i. shows that when the cable has not been terminated in such a cable gland, the noise levels recorded are far higher than the acceptable Class B noise shown.

Cable Gland Selection Guidelines
There are many factors to consider when selecting cable glands for industrial installations. Neglecting to pay due attention to some of these factors may cause unnecessary anxiety at a future point in time when the equipment and cables have been delivered on site, but for example the cable glands have either been forgotten to be ordered or it is discovered that they are the incorrect type or size at the very point when they are needed the most. Good advice would be to allocate some value added planning and preparation time to the subject of cable gland selection so as to avoid the great inconvenience which is likely to occur at a critical point in time. In the event that a user or contractor is in possession of a cable schedule that requires a cable gland selection and sizing process to be carried out, Ducab would be more than happy to assist in carrying out this process at no cost to the enquirer. Please contact Ducab for further information on this subject. Here is a summary of some aspects to carefully consider when selecting cable glands. Identify the type of cable to be used. Check the construction, size & material properties of the cable. Check the type and material of the cable armour (*) Consider whether any protective plating is required to be applied to the cable gland. Check the type and size of the cable entry hole in the mating electrical equipment. Check the ingress protection rating of the electrical equipment or site standard Check whether a single seal or double seal cable gland is required.

Check whether an entry thread seal is required for IP66 (or IP67/IP68) conditions.

Check whether xing accessories such as locknuts and serrated washers are required. Check whether earth tags are required.(**) Check whether shrouds tags are required.

Select a corresponding cable gland type from this catalogue.

When the cable is armoured, verify the following :Check the short circuit fault current rating of the cable armour(**)

For installations in Hazardous Areas, special considerations should be taken into account to ensure compliance with national or international codes of practice. Check whether a thread conversion adaptor / reducer is required to make the installation. Select corresponding adaptors or reducers from this catalogue.

Check the actual diameter of the inner bedding (where present) against this catalogue. Check the actual diameter of the lead covering (where present) against this catalogue. Check the actual size of the overall cable diameter against this catalogue.

Check whether any stopper plugs are required to close unused cable entries. Select corresponding stopper plugs from this catalogue.

Check the size and type of armour or braid (where present) against this catalogue. Check any special environmental requirements in relation to corrosion protection. Check the material of the mating electrical enclosures to eliminate dis-similar metals.

Note (*) : If the cable armour is of a non standard material, e.g. Aluminium Wire Armour, it may be necessary to consider an alternative cable gland material, e.g. Aluminium. Note (**) : For certain medium voltage and high voltage cables where the fault current carrying capacity of the cable armour is greater than that of the standard earth tag it may be necessary to consider a cable gland utilising the Ducab heavy duty Cast Integral Earth Lug (CIEL) option which can be identied in the body of this catalogue.

Introduction to Hazardous Areas
The following information is intended as a guide to provide a minimum insight into Hazardous Area Equipment concepts and practice. National or International guidelines and/or Codes of Practice for Hazardous Area installations should always be referenced to ensure compliance with specic local requirements. In Europe the latest industry standard or Code of Practice for the selection and installation of electrical apparatus in ammable atmospheres is EN 60079-14 which reects the global standard IEC 60079-14. Before putting equipment into service, users must familiarize themselves with the relevant codes of practice and construction standards applicable to their territorial operations, as well as the specic product certication details. Any Technical Product Data and Installation instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer should also be taken into consideration. Equipment Manufacturers, who may have a general understanding of Hazardous Area regulations and practices, may give limited advice on requirements related to their own product range but beyond that further expert assistance should be sought. Nevertheless, it is reasonable to presume that personnel working in these areas and who may be responsible for installations, or guiding others in such installations, are fully qualied, with the necessary level of competency in this specialist eld. It should be noted that in normal circumstances it is the Plant Owner or Operator (or the User) who must take full responsibility for the safe operation of the plant, and in this respect they should be well acquainted with prevailing regulations pertinent to their situation.

Explosion Hazards
The danger of explosion exists when ammable materials are mixed with air, when they can form an explosive mixture. This can occur during storage, movement, process, production and manufacture of such ammable materials. The primary requirement is for the operator to prevent conditions where a ammable mixture is released to the atmosphere. However, as there is some risk of such a situation taking place, special measures need to be taken in respect of electrical and non-electrical apparatus, to prevent the possible ignition of ammable or explosive atmospheres. The employment of these measures should safeguard both the plant (or installation) and more importantly human life, as ignition can only occur when both a ammable atmosphere and the means for an ignition exist simultaneously. Such ignition may occur following an arc, spark or hot surface during the use of electrically powered equipment, although it should also be recognized that non-electrical equipment may also be the source of ignition.

Principles of Protection
In order to provide an operation that can function in the safest possible manner the protection of workers, the environment, and the plant itself relies upon three key ingredients in the development and planning stage of a new plant project. These are :1, The reduction in risk by the plant designers taking all hazard risks into account. 2, The installation of the electrical apparatus in a non-hazardous area, or if this is not possible in the least hazardous area. Furthermore in respect of the electrical equipment that is installed, the following should also be observed :A, The construction and installation should comply with the appropriate regulations and requirements for installation in non-hazardous or industrial installations. B, The electrical equipment must be installed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, and also any limitations of the corresponding certication documentation.

3, The electrical apparatus and its wiring and connections shall be designed, installed, operated and maintained in such a way to prevent it from becoming a source of ignition.

C, On completion of the construction and installation an initial inspection shall be carried out.

Risk Assessment Process for Hazardous Areas
In addressing the factors of risk in the hazardous area a process of Risk Assessment and Risk Control should be undertaken to ensure a safe working environment. This process will involve identifying who and what is likely to be at risk of harm, and will include an evaluation of these risks. Part of the process will entail identication of the hazards involved, the possible sources of release of ammable materials, the grades of release, the potential ignition sources, and what measure may be taken by design or other means to minimise or eliminate risks. Findings and conclusions from the Risk Assessment should be documented for subsequent examination, and the assessment process should be reviewed periodically and revised if necessary. Existing precautions and contingencies that are already in place should be reviewed to verify whether they are adequate, or if further risk prevention measures need to be implemented.

Existing precautions and contingencies that are already in place should be reviewed to verify whether they are adequate, or if further risk prevention measures need to be implemented.

Sources of Release
Sources of release may originate from almost anywhere in the process or storage area of a hazardous area site. Flammable materials may be released from Pumps, Pipes, Flanges, Valves, Sampling Points, or other similar apparatus. The release may be caused for example by either seal failure at joints to anges, ruptures to pipe work, or inadvertent operations error.

Grades of Release
Factors taken into account during the Area Classication process include Grades of Release which are dened as follows :Continuous a release which is either continuous or is expected to occur for long periods. Primary a release which can be expected to occur periodically or occasionally during normal operation. Secondary a release which is not expected to occur in normal operation and if it does occur it is likely to do so infrequently and for short periods.

Flammable Material Properties

A ammable mixture can be classied for explosion protection under several key characteristics including its Relative Density, Flash Point, Flammable Limits, Ignition Energy and Ignition Temperature. In order to ensure correct assessment in terms of risk and correct selection of apparatus to be used in the hazardous areas, it is important to understand all of the particulars of the ammable materials being handled in any process plant. For example, it may be vital to know the temperature of ignition by hot surfaces, the ash Relative Density : The density of a gas or a vapour relative to the density of air. The result would be displayed in reference to air having a value equal to 1. Flash Point : The minimum temperature at which a liquid give off sufcient vapour to form an explosive atmosphere when tested in a set of standard test apparatus. point, or the lower explosive limit of the ammable mixture that a particular process will become exposed to before accurate and proper risk assessments can be made. The data relating to the particulars of a given substance may be extracted from recognised standards that dene the characteristics of the most commonly handled or known substances. The denitions of the main characteristics are shown below.

Flammable Limits : The upper and lower percentages of gas / air mixture at normal atmospheric temperature and pressure which will burn if ignited.

UEL = Upper Explosive Limit LEL = Lower Explosive Limit Ignition Energy The spark energy which will ignite the most easily ignited mixture of a test gas with air at atmospheric pressure in a set of standard test apparatus. The spark energy of the ignition is also related to the intensity of explosion, i.e. a highly ammable gas mixture can be ignited with a low energy spark to create a high intensity explosion. Ignition Temperature (Auto Ignition Temperature) Ignition temperature, or AIT as it is also known, is dened as the lowest temperature determined by a standardised method, at which the most explosive mixture of the given substance and air will automatically ignite when in contact with, or in the presence of, a heated surface. In this situation the ammable mixture spontaneous combustion will occur without the presence of an independent ignition source. occurring ammable mixtures are town gas (surface methane)/air, which ignites at over 600C, and petrol/air which ignites at approximately 250C.

The Ignition Temperature of ammable materials (gases, vapours and liquids) is dened in IEC 60079, along with the corresponding gas group. Examples of ignition temperatures for commonly

A selection of typical gas groups is shown below.

Gas Group IA IIA IIB IIC Typical Gas Name Methane (Firedamp) - Mining Industrial Methane, Propane, Petroleum & Hydrocarbons Ethylene & Town Gas, Coke Oven Gas Hydrogen, Acetylene, Carbon Di-Sulphide

Sources of Ignition
Ignition of a ammable mixture may occur following an arc, spark or hot surface during the use of electrical apparatus. Arcs can result from the discharge of stored energy or from switching contacts. Although electrical equipment can be one of the sources of ignition, it should also be recognized that non-electrical equipment may also be the source of ignition. Hot surfaces sufcient to cause ignition can arise from electrical enclosures, or components, or even some types of mechanical equipment. In addition ignition could also be initiated by frictional sparking and electrostatic action. Other sources of ignition energy are open ame, stray electric currents, lightning, compression, engine exhausts, heat from chemical reactions, spontaneous combustion, & heat from the sun. Taking into consideration that equipment that is intended for use in explosive atmospheres must be specially protected so as to avoid becoming the source of ignition, the following categorisation of apparatus has been adopted.

Hazardous Area Equipment
For equipment which is to be used in areas where ammable atmospheres may occur, a number of standard methods of protection against ignition have been established. These have been adopted into construction standards, or codes, which allow The principle methods of protection are briey summarised as follows :Ex n or Ex nR (Restricted Breathing) Designed to prevent the ammable mixture reaching a means of ignition. Ex m Encapsulation Ex p Pressurisation Ex o Oil Immersion Ex e Increased Safety Designed to prevent any ignition from arising. Ex n or Ex nA Non Sparking Ex m Encapsulation Designed to prevent any ignition from spreading. Ex d Flameproof Enclosure Ex q Powder or Sand Filling Designed to limit the ignition energy of the circuit. Ex i Intrinsic Safety manufacturers to make apparatus of a uniform type and have this equipment or apparatus tested & certied for compliance with the standards.

Apparatus Surface Temperature Classication

Classication of the maximum Surface Temperature of apparatus has been established internationally to create a uniform reference table. The following Temperature Classications are those dened in the IEC Standards for Group II Electrical Apparatus :Temperature Classication Maximum Surface Temperature of Apparatus (C) Ignition temperature of Gas or Vapour (C)

T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6

450 300 200 135 100 85

> 450 > 300 > 200 > 135 > 100 > 85

(Unless otherwise specified on apparatus selected, the maximum Ambient Temperature is taken as being 40C, in line with IEC Standards). The purpose of the Temperature Classication is to place apparatus into an appropriate category according to its specic thermal properties when exposed to the worst case conditions. Often this takes into account such things as maximum Ambient Temperature and maximum Operating Voltage with a +10% over voltage or an overload condition applied. In some cases the external surface temperature measurement is used to determine the T rating. This is not always the case, however, since certain forms of equipment protection have their temperature measurement taken internally as is the case with most Ex e apparatus. With the Ignition Temperature of the ammable mixture known by the user, he must ensure that the maximum Surface Temperature (T) Rating of the apparatus selected is lower than the limiting temperature of the ammable atmosphere identied as potentially being present.

Technical & Application Information Base

Ambient Temperature
The Ambient Temperature is the Surrounding Temperature of the environment in which the equipment is installed, whether indoors or outdoors. A given piece of Electrical Equipment will be approved for a stated maximum ambient temperature in which it is safe to operate. For example under the IEC 60079 series the normal ambient temperature range for Ex d equipment would be -20C to +40C, unless otherwise stated on the product certication. In some cases the maximum (or minimum) permitted ambient temperature will be adjusted taking into account any temperature rise under normal operation and the surface temperature rating of the equipment. The maximum (or minimum) ambient temperature will be stated on the hazardous area certicate, described as T amb, if it differs from the upper or lower limits of the IEC standards.

Classication of Hazardous Areas According to IEC 60079-10

Hazardous area classication is a structured means of assessing risks and instigating appropriate preventative measures to prevent ignition of ammable mixtures. Codes of practice have been established for the classication of potential hazards and similar codes deal with the selection, installation and maintenance of suitable equipment to protect against these hazards. The codes of practice may be locally, nationally or internationally recognised documents. These documents will list the generic methods of protection which may be used to achieve an acceptable level of safety. The process of classifying an installation or plant into Zones whereby the probability of ammable atmospheres (or hazardous areas) arising is assessed is known as Area Classication. IEC 60079-10 is the prevailing International Standard which addresses this subject. Hazardous Area Classication Plan A set of documents providing information on the hazardous areas of the plant is created. As a minimum this shall comprise of :i. Area Classication Drawings, ii. Details of the Flammable Substances being stored, handled, or processed, iii. Details of the Sources of Release iv. Information on the Areas of Risks, and in the case of enclosed spaces, v. Information relating to the ventilation and air conditioning design, which affect the classication and extent of hazardous locations. Hazardous Area Classication Drawings A set of drawings showing to scale the complete layout of the facility, marking the extensions of the hazardous locations dened based on the specic data associated with the ammable substances, sources of release and areas of risk for all elevations.

Hazardous Area Forms of Protection

Generally, electrical safety is ensured by the implementation of one of two considerations, i.e. that electrical apparatus be located where reasonably practicable outside hazardous areas, and that electrical apparatus be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with measures recommended for the area in which the apparatus is located. There are several forms of protection, laid down in specied apparatus standards, that can be adopted by equipment designers when creating a product, equipment or system intended for use in ammable atmospheres. An explanation of each of these forms of protection are detailed as follows :FORM OF PROTECTION Ex d (Flameproof Enclosure Type d) IEC 60079-1 :Flameproof Type d Equipment which may include arcing and sparking (or incendive) devices and can have explosive mixtures present internally. The enclosure construction is designed to contain an internal explosion and prevent transmission of sufcient energy to cause an explosion external to the equipment. Any joints, covers or openings are constructed with ameproof paths which must be periodically inspected and continuously maintained in order to retain the integrity of the form of explosion protection. FORM OF PROTECTION Ex e (Increased Safety Enclosure Type e) IEC 60079-7 :Whilst explosive mixtures may enter the equipment, the enclosure is not designed to withstand an internal explosion. Instead the likelihood of a fault condition, which could result in ignition of explosive mixtures, is signicantly reduced by the following measures. The (non-incendive) components used in the apparatus shall not produce arcs or sparks or dangerous temperatures in normal working conditions. The apparatus or equipment usually has a maximum voltage rating of 11kV. Electrical connections and insulation are selected for high reliability and effectiveness. The level of protection against the ingress of dirt and moisture ensures that the prospect of component contamination is substantially reduced. Two fundamental requirements of Ex e protection are that the equipment shall be protected to IP54 minimum for Gas / Vapour (IP6X for Dust Hazards), and have an Impact Strength of 7Nm minimum. As this form of protection can be used in both Zone 1 and Zone 2 Areas, it is often preferred to Ex d due to the need for reduced levels of maintenance and inspection. Another major consideration is that Ex e apparatus is generally constructed from lighter weight materials, which often leads to lower cost.

Technical & Application Information Base

FORM OF PROTECTION Ex de IEC 60079-1 & IEC 60079-7 :Primary Flameproof Type d Enclosure with Secondary Increased Safety Type e Protection, allowing reduced frequency of periodic maintenance and inspection cycle because of the e philosophy strategically employed. In the case of Flameproof Type d Enclosures having an Increased Safety Type e Terminal Chamber, line barriers would normally be utilised between the Type d and Type e compartments creating an indirect cable entry interface. Consequently this would permit the use of Cable Glands with Increased Safety Type e form of protection. NOTE : Other forms of primary and secondary protection methods exist. This example has been included to demonstrate a commonly used application of the concept. CODE OF PROTECTION Ex i IEC 60079-11 :Intrinsically Safe Apparatus (Sub grouped into Ex ia and Ex ib) of these types incorporate circuits which due to their low spark energy potential are not capable of igniting an explosive mixture. Ex ib equipment is safe under one fault condition and can be used in Zone 1 Areas. Ex ia equipment is safe under two fault conditions and can be used in Zone 0 Areas. The Intrinsically Safe components or circuitry may be housed in an enclosure having another form of protection e.g. Ex e or Ex d, although the enclosure need not always be an approved item in its own right. In all cases it is important that the integrity of the housing or enclosure is maintained in accordance with the form of protection pertaining to it. CODE OF PROTECTION Ex m IEC 60079-5 :Encapsulation of arcing and sparking components or apparatus in a fashion which ensures that there is no exposure to explosive mixtures which may be present, and the surface temperature is controlled under normal and fault conditions, thus preventing ignition from occurring. CODE OF PROTECTION Ex n EN 60079-15 :Permitted only in areas where the likelihood of a ammable atmosphere is remote (Zone 2),Non incendive Type n Apparatus is divided into four sub-forms as follows :Non-Sparking Ex nA Components selected for non arcing or sparking. Enclosed Break Ex nC Incendive components, e.g. lampholders, enclosed and sealed to exclude gas or vapour from reaching ignition capable components. Energy Limitation Ex nL Low energy circuitry eliminates potential for ignition. Restricted Breathing Ex nR Relies upon the sealing and gasketing of the apparatus to ensure that the ammable mixture is kept away from any hot surfaces and ignition capable components so that it does not enter the enclosure in sufcient quantity to reach the specic L.E.L. documented. Apparatus with the type n protection method is considered to be non incendive in that it does not usually generate arcs or sparks or dangerous temperatures in normal service. Internal component temperatures must be controlled and wiring connections and terminals selected with Non-sparking in mind. The concept sharessimilarities with the Ex e philosophy but is suitable only for use in Zone 2 (or 22 where the apparatus may also be approved for dust hazards). This apparatus type is not designed to withstand explosion, and would usually employ a light weight enclosure of metallic or non metallic construction, but one that ensures a high Ingress Protection level is maintained. In cases where the internal surface temperatures of components cannot be controlled in line with prescribed T ratings, the Restricted Breathing method (Ex nR) is adopted whereby joints and covers have tightly tted seals and gaskets to provide the additional protection. This effectively excludes any external explosive mixtures which may be present from entering the enclosure and reaching the hot components. The Restricted Breathing Enclosure technique is typically used in the design and construction of certain types of Lighting Equipment for Zone 2 Areas where the operating temperature of the lamp would otherwise be dangerously high. With this form of protection the user is responsible for ensuring that the cable entry device (Cable Gland) provides an adequate gas tight seal and maintains the integrity of the equipment protection code as detailed under the applicable standard to which it was tested and certied. CODE OF PROTECTION Ex o EN 60079-18 :Permitted only in areas where the likelihood of a ammable atmosphere is remote (Zone 2),Type o Apparatus where the sparking components are immersed in Oil and controlled venting is also a feature, for example in early forms of switch gear. CODE OF PROTECTION Ex p EN 60079-2 :Pressurised or purged Apparatus Type p rely on a combination of a positive static pressure applied inside the enclosure and a continuous ow of air or inert gas to expel any explosive mixture which may have entered. The system relies essentially on purging schedules and monitoring systems to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the overall protection. CODE OF PROTECTION Ex q EN 60079-5 :Powder lled Enclosures Type q which house arcing and sparking (or incendive) devices and include a vent. Often used to contain the energy released from the failure of electrical or electronic components such as the breaking of a fuse. This form of protection is often associated with components inside Ex e apparatus for example lighting control gear.

Combustible Dust Hazards
IEC 61241 - Electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust.
Many dusts that are generated, processed, handled and stored are combustible. When ignited they can burn rapidly and with considerable explosive force if mixed with air in the appropriate proportions. When electrical apparatus is used in locations where combustible materials are present, it is important that suitable precautions are taken. In electrical apparatus, potential ignition sources include electrical arcs and sparks, hot surfaces and frictional sparks. To reduce the likelihood of ignition of the external explosive atmosphere, all such electrical apparatus should be adequately protected. Areas where dust, yings and bres in air occur in dangerous quantities are classied as hazardous and are divided into three zones according to the level of risk. IEC 61241-0 IEC 61241-1 IEC 61241-4 IEC 61241-11 IEC 61241-11 Zone 20 An area in which combustible dust, as a cloud, is present continuously or frequently, during normal operation, in sufcient quantity to be capable of producing an explosive concentration of combustible dust in a mixture with air. Zone 21 An area, in which combustible dust, as a cloud, is occasionally present during normal operation, in a sufcient quantity to be capable of producing an explosive concentration of combustible dust in a mixture with air. Zone 22 An area, in which combustible dust, as a cloud, may occur infrequently and persist for only a short period, or in which accumulations of layers of combustible dust may give rise to an explosive concentration of combustible dust in a mixture with air. The standards and corresponding forms of protection that have been established for dust hazard protection are detailed as follows:

Electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust general requirements. Electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust. Protection by enclosures "tD" Electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust. Type of Protection "pD" Electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust. Protection by intrinsic safety "iD" Electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust. Protection by intrinsic safety "iD"

Technical & Application Information Base

Combustible Dust can be Ignited by Electrical Apparatus in Several Ways:
By arcing or sparking of electrical parts such as switches, contacts,commutators, brushes, or the like. By discharge of an accumulated electrostatic charge. By radiated energy (e.g. electromagnetic radiation). By mechanical sparking or frictional sparking or heating associated with the apparatus. By surfaces of the apparatus that are above the minimum ignition temperature of the dust concerned. The temperature at which a type of dust ignites is a function of the properties of the dust, whether the dust is in a cloud or layer, the thickness of the layer and the geometry of the heat source.

Selection of Equipment for Dust Hazards:

When selecting equipment intended for use in areas where potentially explosive dust hazards may be present, and accessible to dust, the selection process would entail the review of certied equipment rated for dust hazards to a standard set of procedures. This would involve selection of the form of equipment protection, and ATEX dust group when applicable, and also identifying the permissible Ignition Temperature of the apparatus. Dust in its deposited form has a different ignition temperature than in its stirred form. IEC 61241-2-1 species the method of determining the ignition temperatures identied as procedure A for deposits, or layers, and procedure B for clouds. The permissible Ignition Temperature of the apparatus would be determined by rstly identifying the ignition temperature of the dust as a deposit, and then as a cloud: Smouldering temperature based upon Deposit Method A according to IEC 61241-2-1 Ignition temperature based upon Cloud Method B according to IEC 61241-2-1 Secondly by subtracting 75 K from the value determined using method A and by multiplying by 2/3 the value determined using method B, the two ignition temperature values for the combustible dust will be known. The lower of the two values determined in this way corresponds to the lowest permissible surface temperature of the equipment.

For example the following results may be drawn for brown coal:
T max = Smouldering temperature -75 K e. g. brown coal 225 C -75 C = 150 C or, T max = 2/3 of the ignition temperature e. g. brown coal 2/3 * 380 C = 254 C, In which case equipment should be selected that is limited to a Tmax 150 C rating. It should be noted that compliance with this standard will only provide the required level of safety if the electrical apparatus is operated within its rating and is installed and maintained according to the relevant codes of practice or requirements, for example in respect of protection against over currents, internal short-circuits, and other electrical faults. In particular, it is essential that the severity and duration of an internal or external fault be limited to values that can be sustained by the electrical apparatus without damage.

Equipment Selection Process
Generally, electrical safety is ensured by the implementation of one of two considerations, i.e. that electrical apparatus be located where reasonably practicable outside hazardous areas, and that electrical apparatus be designed, installed and maintained in accordance with measures recommended for the area in which the apparatus is located. The selection of equipment for use in hazardous areas will depend upon a number of variable factors including but not limited to the Zone of Use, the Hazard Category, the Gas Group or Combustible Dust data, the rating of equipment for the operating conditions, the Temperature Classication requirement of the equipment (determined by the T Rating of the ammable mixture), any construction material considerations including reliability against chemical attack, the Ingress Protection Rating required, the protection against possible damage from vibration, reduction in the risk of thermite sparking, the possibility of static charge formation, and perhaps several other factors related to the electrical characteristics of the installation. In order to ensure that the preferred type of equipment is used on a plant or project, the responsible engineers may prefer to specify the apparatus by make and model or generic type. Bearing in mind that the most progressive and forward thinking manufacturers are continuously developing their products the task of specication must also be a continuous process. Here are a few of the basic factors which may affect specication of electrical equipment for hazardous areas : Clear denition of the acceptable form(s) of certication, Acceptable Certication Standards, Acceptable Gas Groups, Zone of Use requirement, Form of Protection preferred, Temperature Classication, Any environmental conditions, Any particular material requirements, Minimum Ingress Protection, Additional Deluge Test Certication, if required, Additional Marine approvals, if required, Minimum and Maximum Ambient Temperature rating.

Prior to selection being nalised and equipment being earmarked for purchase the relevant engineering personnel should review the availability of the preferred or specied equipment, verifying that it has the necessary hazardous area certication to meet the conditions prevailing. This review of certication should cover any special conditions for safe use that may be included in the certication documents to avoid subsequent non-conformities arising when the equipment is ready to be installed, commissioned, operated, inspected or maintained.

Cable Glands for Hazardous Areas

Under IEC Standards (IEC 60079-0 & IEC 60079-1) three main types of cable glands exist for hazardous area applications, for either armoured or non armoured cables.

Note : Whilst the minimum Ingress Protection rating is said required to achieve Ex e certication under IEC 60079-7 is IP54, it should be considered that the cable gland is required to maintain the integrity of the equipment enclosure which is invariably higher. It can also be noted that IEC 60079-14, section 11.3 states that threaded cable entry devices connected into threaded cable entry plates or enclosures of 6 mm or greater thickness need no additional sealing between the cable entry device and the entry plate or enclosure, providing the axis of the cable entry device is perpendicular to the external surface of the cable entry plate or enclosure. However Ducab recommends the use of a Ducab Entry Thread Sealing Washer, which when installed at the cable entry interface, between the equipment enclosure and the cable entry device offers I.P. protection in excess of IP66. These components have been independently 3rd party tested in Ingress Protection tests to IEC 60529.

Selection of Cables Intended for Use in Hazardous Areas
Cables come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and new designs, e.g. those with optical bres, are regularly being introduced. The issue of correctly sealing these cables as they enter hazardous area electrical equipment is a worldwide problem, and not conned purely to local conditions in any one particular place. Although there are no IEC construction standards for the cables intended for use in ammable atmospheres, according to IEC 60079- 14:2002, 10.4.2(b), if a cable gland with an elastomeric ameproof sealing ring is to be used, when connecting cables to Ex d equipment enclosures, the cable should be :i. Substantially compact and circular (i.e. especially the part of the cable entering the enclosure), ii. Have an extruded bedding (without any gaps), iii. Have llers, if any are used, which are Non-Hygroscopic ?.

Effectively, the cable should be physically assessed, taking into account the protection method and conguration of the equipment, to verify its suitability, before any cable gland with an elastomeric sealing ring can be selected.

Typical IEC Cable Types

Until such times when an IEC standard for cables for use in Hazardous Areas has been developed and implemented, this applies to all types of cables used in ammable atmospheres, including :-

Wire Braid Armour

Armoured

Single Wire Armour (SWA)

Steel T ape Armour (STA)

Unarmoured

Compatibility of Equipment, Cable and Cable Gland
Equipment & Cable Gland Compatibility
It is important to ensure that the Cable Gland is capable of maintaining the integrity of the equipment that it is engaged with. According to IEC 60079-14:2002, 14.3.2 (under Additional requirements for apparatus suitable only for use in Zone 2) it states that :The connection of cables shall be carried out by means of cable entry devices appropriate to the type of cable used. To meet the degree of protection requirement of the terminal enclosure, it may be necessary to use cable entry devices incorporating sealing components to seal between the cable entry device and the cable. Sealing may be similarly required between the cable entry device and the enclosure. (for example by means of a sealing washer or thread sealant). The sealing of restricted-breathing enclosures shall be such as to maintain the restricted-breathing properties of the enclosure. Interestingly some Ex d cable glands have a problem in maintaining the restricted-breathing characteristics under the prevailing test conditions. Large volumes of gas should not exist within the enclosure, & the protection method requires the gas to kept away from the source of ignition, so as to avoid explosion & external transmission. Extract from IEC 60079-15:2005 (3rd Edition) Electrical Apparatus for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Type Protection n Section 22 Restricted Sub-Section 22.6 Breathing Enclosures (Page 34) -

Restricted Breathing enclosures without the provision for carrying out checks after installation or maintenance shall be type tested including the cable entry device. Note : The installation instructions provided with the apparatus should contain information on the selection of entry devices and cables. Section 26 Type Tests - Sub-Section 26.8 26.8.2 Apparatus without provision for routine checking of restricted breathing properties. Under constant temperature conditions, the time interval required for an internal pressure of 3 kPa (300mm Water Gauge) below atmospheric to change to 1.5 kPa (150mm Water Gauge) below atmospheric shall not be less than 3 minutes. As the principal of Ex nR protection is required to keep sufcient quantity of the ammable mixture away from any internal ignition capable equipment and hot surfaces, this involves the use of a two way air tight and gas tight seal around the cable, and this is not possible with some (Ex d) cable gland types that include diaphragm type seals. The important thing to remember is that not all Ex d, or Ex e, or Dual Certied (Ex d & Ex e) cable glands are able to meet the compatibility requirements for all protection forms in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas, with particular emphasis on the Restricted Breathing enclosure concept. Ducab Products has gone to the extent of obtaining Ex nR certication for its range of double seal cable glands to EN 60079-15 / IEC 60079-15.

Restricted Breathing Ex nR Equipment

Protection Method Type nR (Restricted Breathing Enclosure, from the Ex n Family). Usually Ex n Equipment contains components that are non sparking. Restricted Breathing Enclosures Type nR ensure that the ammable gas is kept away from any hot surfaces and ignition capable components (i.e. arcing / sparking) 1. Light weight enclosure of metallic or non metallic construction. 2. High Ingress Protection levels must be maintained. 3. Not designed to withstand explosion. 4. Enclosure must be tightly sealed and gasketed and not allowed to breathe freely. 5. Amount of gas allowed to penetrate the enclosure is insufcient to reach the LEL, otherwise explosion could occur (see 3).

Selection Process for Hazardous Area Cable Glands According to IEC
Selection of Cable Glands for Flameproof Type d enclosures to IEC 60079-14
Concerning the subject of cable glands to maintain integrity of type of protection Flameproof Enclosures d using direct cable entry into the ameproof enclosures, special selection criterions have to be considered as dened in Section 10 of IEC Standard IEC 60079-14 Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres Part 14: Electrical installations in hazardous areas (Other than mines) In order to achieve compliance with the prevailing Installation Code of Practice and in particular IEC 60079-14, it is necessary to evaluate the function of the equipment, the cable gland, and the cable, and in order to satisfy the conditions of the applicable standards compatibility of all three with each other must be veried. Section 10 of IEC 60079-14 Additional requirements for type of protection dFlameproof enclosures for the selection of cable glands is required to be followed, and this sets out some specic rules to ensure integrity and safe operation of the installed equipment.

Cable Entries into Ex d Enclosures

Two situations can be considered, direct cable entry and indirect cable entry

E N L

Direct Cable Entry - Ex d

Indirect Cable Entry - Ex d

Indirect Cable Entries into Ex d Enclosures

In the case of indirect cable entry, this may be achieved by a separate terminal chamber, where the cable entries can be found and only the (looping) cable conductors are terminated in the terminal block, where no source of ignition exists in this terminal chamber. The terminal chamber may offer Ex d or Ex e form of protection, and is separated from the main enclosure, with the internal wiring passing through line barriers or bushings before connecting to the equipment side of the terminal block. The termination and wiring of the incoming eld cables would thereby not normally require the adoption of compound sealing cable glands in this case, unless there is a risk of gas migration through the interstices of the cable and the transmission of gas to the opposite end of the cable needs to be prevented. An example of this type of equipment conguration is shown in the photograph to the left.

Ducab Technical & Application Information Base

Cable Construction Should be Round

In order to comply with IEC installation standards, cable glands using elastomeric sealing rings as a means of maintaining the Flameproof protection method can only be used if the cable selected is :- Substantially compact and circular with an extruded bedding, and if any llers are used they are Non-Hygroscopic

This is clearly not always the case with cables used in hazardous areas.

e.g., where cables run across two zones, or indeed from a hazardous area into a safe area.

But the cable must play a part in the safety of the installation, even in the case of indirect cable entry, when gas migration must be avoided Sample IEC Cable Congurations Which type is suitable for use with Flameproof Ex d equipment when a cable gland with an elastomeric sealing ring would be considered ?

Cable A

Cable B

Cable C

Cable D

Cable E

Cable A is not suitable to apply a Flameproof sealing ring as this cable is the incorrect shape, and unless the cable is round the sealing ring will not be able to make an effective seal on the cable. Cables B, D & E are not suitable to apply a Flameproof sealing ring, as the white areas represent a gap or void in the cable whereby there is either no inner cable sheath, or extruded bedding, or suitable llers are absent. In this case no protection to the interstices of the cable can be offered by a sealing ring.

Cable C is the only one of the ve sample cables illustrated which could be selected as correctly meeting the IEC 60079-14 criteria, as it has an extruded inner cable bedding and there is no gas migration path between the conductors. Equally, if the cable is not adequately lled, and allows the passage of air or gas to ow along the cable length then there would be no protection to the inner part of the cable when an elastomeric sealing ring is used. In this case a compound barrier type cable gland is the only safe solution and this is needed to maintain the integrity of the equipment as explained above, and prevent gas migration from equipment to equipment, or hazardous areas to safe areas.

Cable Construction The Factors
Cables installed in practice are unlike anything experienced under test conditions when mandrels are used. With Low Smoke & Fume Cables, the cable manufacturers compound mix, manufacturing and curing process impact on the nal shore hardness of the cable inner bedding, but these are not alone in damage from compression seals. (WRAPPING ONLY) The impact of compression seals on the cable inner bedding can be seen even on cables without soft inner bedding, and this should be avoided at all times. Control over the tightening of the inner seal is important, and Ducab Products rmly believes that it has the answer.

Cable Construction The Factors

1. There are no standards for cable suitability for hazardous areas. 2. Cable glands, when tested for hazardous area compliance, are subjected to hydrostatic pressure tests to prove the effect of the ameproof seal during explosion conditions, and these tests are done on polished smooth tubular steel mandrels. 3. There are no standards for the denition of soft bedded cables in terms of material composition or construction. 4. Subsequently one cable compared with another made to the same standards may be different in the extreme. 5. Cables installed in practice are unlike anything experienced under test conditions when considering 2. above.

Risk Assessment Factors Affecting Cable Gland Selection

In the event that a new high prole Greeneld project was to be developed, a major operating company may wish to go to extreme lengths in evaluating vendor prior to conrming contract award. This may incorporate a complete and comprehensive risk assessment process. The reasons for the implementation of such a demanding examination of risk can be explained by the factors detailed below : Environmentally sensitive project Major Capital Investment First time operation or new Joint Venture Changes in technological know how Increase in the extremes of operating conditions. New Project - First Venture in New Territory New Challenge everything re-evaluated Success of the venture under close scrutiny

Installation
The installation of equipment that is intended for use in explosive atmospheres should be carried out by competent personnel in line with good engineering practice. Codes of Practice, Regulations, or Standards may exist which lay down the requirements for ensuring that health and safety requirements are met by such installations. The main IEC Installation standards that are in use today for gas / vapour hazards and dust hazards are detailed below. IEC 60079-14 : Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres Part 14: Electrical installations in hazardous areas (other than mines) IEC 61892-7 : Mobile and xed offshore units - Electrical installations - Part 7: Hazardous areas IEC 61241-14 : Electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust - Part 14: Selection and installation Ducab Sealing Washers, which are installed at the cable entry interface, between the equipment enclosure and the cable entry device (cable gland) have been 3rd party tested in Ingress Protection tests to IEC 60529. Ducab recommend their use in most typical outdoor situations. Always ensure that the correct xing accessories provided by Ducab are used, as appropriate to secure the cable glands into the mating equipment. In addition to Sealing Washers, Ducab Products are also able to provide Locknuts, Earth Tags, and Serrated Washers which should be used as appropriate to the equipment conguration. Usually for any equipment other than Ex d apparatus, it will be necessary to use as a minimum a Locknut, and also a Serrated Washer if the enclosure of the equipment or application requires it. The addition of an Earth Tag will depend upon the earth continuity provision of the enclosures installed.

Cable Gland Installation Guidelines

Installation should only be carried out by a competent person, skilled in the installation of cable glands. Care should be taken to avoid damage to entry threads when handling and installing cable glands. Cable Glands should not be installed whilst circuits are live. Similarly, following energising of the electrical circuits, cable glands should not be dismantled or opened until the circuit has been safely de-energised. Cable Gland components are not interchangeable with those of any other cable gland manufacturer. It is important to note that components from one manufacturer's product cannot be used in that of another, and that modication of a cable gland product will invalidate the hazardous area certication. The cable gland is not a user serviceable product and spare parts are not permitted to be supplied under the certication. Cable Gland seals are included within the cable gland when despatched from the factory. There should be no circumstances where seals need to be removed from the cable gland. Care should be taken to avoid exposure of cable gland seals to dirt, hostile substances, e.g. solvents, and other foreign bodies.

Installation Tools
Always use the correct tools, as incorrect tools will inevitably lead to mistakes, potential damage and/or personal injury. Gloves are recommended when handling and terminating cables and cable glands. Safety and personal protection should be given priority over all other considerations. Dedicated Cable Gland spanners for each cable gland size are available from Ducab and these are recommended for correctly installing the product. Adjustable spanners and wrenches are not recommended as there is a possibility of slippage that can lead to accidental injury or damage to surface nish. Any sharp tools, instruments or knives used to cut or strip the cable sheath should be equipped with a safety blade or other safety feature consistent with the tool design and intended use. Braid snips should be used to remove unwanted or excess cable braid. Ensure that braid snips are in good condition and effectively sharp enough to enable a rst time clean cut of the cable braid without snagging. A hacksaw, or other similar tool, should be used to cut armour wires. Hacksaw blades should be checked regularly and replaced when worn, or whenever evidence that a consistent rst time clean cut is no longer possible. Note, when cutting armour wires, care should be taken to avoid cutting into the inner cable bedding or insulation beneath the armour wires. Please refer to Ducab in sourcing tools if required.

Installation Accessories
Depending upon the specic form of protection of the main equipment it may be necessary to t a sealing washer at the cable entry interface to maintain the appropriate Ingress Protection level of the enclosure. For Increased Safety (Ex e) equipment, or Increased Safety terminal chambers found on Ex de equipment, a sealing washer is recommended to maintain the minimum Ingress Protection rating, and should always be tted. For other forms of protection, e.g. Flameproof Ex d apparatus, the inclusion of a sealing washer is optional. It can be noted that IEC 60079-14, section 10.4.1 states that Flameproof (Ex d) cable entry devices may be tted with a sealing washer between the entry device and ameproof enclosure providing that after the washer has been tted, the applicable thread engagement is still achieved. For parallel threads, the thread engagement is normally ve full threads or 8mm, whichever is the greater. It can also be noted that IEC 60079-14, section 11.3 states that for Increased Safety Ex e enclosures, threaded cable entry devices connected into threaded cable entry plates or enclosures of 6 mm or greater thickness need no additional sealing between the cable entry device and the entry plate or enclosure, providing the axis of the cable entry device is perpendicular to the external surface of the cable entry plate or enclosure.

Ducab Industrial Cable Glands

E2U Cable Gland

E2U Universal Industrial Cable Gland

Ducab E2U type brass indoor and outdoor cable gland for use with all types of Lead Sheathed and Armoured cables providing an environmental seal on inner lead sheath and the cable outer sheath. The cable gland provides mechanical cable retention and electrical continuity via the armour termination and also earth bonding of the inner lead covering or lead sheath. A reversible armour cone and AnyWay universal clamping ring arrangement allows the cable to be easily disconnected from the equipment, for maintenance and change out etc. This feature also facilitates remote make off procedures when the termination is to be conducted in conned spaces or in areas of restricted access. Separate tightening actions for the inner displacement seal and the armour termination affords maximum control over the pressure applied to the cable inner lead covering. The Ducab E2U range of industrial cable glands is designed and tested to BS 6121:Part 1:1989, meets or surpasses the requirements of EN 50262 :1999, and is produced from Brass grade CuZn39Pb3 (CW614N) to EN12168.

E1FX Cable Gland E1FX Tri-Star Flameproof Ex d, Increased Safety Ex e and E1FX CABLE GLAND Restricted Breathing Ex nR Cable Gland
Ducab Type E1FX Tri-Star Triple Certied Flameproof (Type d), Increased Safety (Type e) and Restricted Breathing (Type nR) indoor and outdoor cable gland for use in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 Hazardous Areas with Braided, Pliable Wire Armour (PWA), Strip Armour and Steel Tape Armour (STA) cable. This cable gland provides a Flameproof seal on the cable inner bedding and in addition the gas tight seal has been tested to prove compatibility with Restricted Breathing equipment. The cable gland allows mechanical cable retention and earth continuity via the cable armour termination. Separate tightening actions for the inner displacement seal and the armour termination afford maximum control over the pressure applied to cable bedding, and also allows the effectiveness of the gas tight seal to be tested. A detachable armour cone and AnyWay clamping ring arrangement facilitates remote make off and enables the cable to be disconnected from the equipment. An environmental / load retention seal is provided on the cable outer sheath. The Ducab E1FX Tri-Star Cable Gland is suitable for use with all forms of equipment protection permitted in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 & Zone 22 provided always that the prevailing code of practice for selection and installation is observed, e.g. IEC 60079-14.

T3CDS Cable Gland Triton CDS (T3CDS) Flameproof Ex d, Increased Safety Ex e and Restricted Breathing Ex nR Cable Gland
The Triton CDS Type T3CDS Triple Certied Flameproof (Type 'd'), Increased Safety (Type 'e') and Restricted Breathing (Type nR) indoor and outdoor cable gland for use in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 Hazardous Areas with all types of armoured cable providing a Flameproof seal on the cable inner bedding and an environmental seal on the cable outer sheath. This product utilises a unique Compensating Displacement Seal (CDS) system which provides full compatibility with Restricted Breathing equipment. The cable gland provides mechanical cable retention and electrical continuity via armour wire termination. A reversible armour cone and AnyWay universal clamping ring arrangement allows the cable to be easily disconnected from the equipment, for maintenance and change out etc., and re-connected with the same consummate ease. This feature also facilitates remote make off procedures when the termination is to be conducted in conned spaces or in areas of restricted access. Separate tightening actions for the inner Compensating Displacement Seal (CDS) system and the armour termination affords maximum control over the pressure applied to the cable inner bedding. The Ducab Triton CDS Cable Gland is suitable for use with all forms of equipment protection permitted in Zone 1, Zone 2 , Zone 21 & Zone 22 provided always that the prevailing code of practice for selection and installation is observed, e.g. IEC 60079-14.

Insulated Adaptors
Insulated Adaptor Type 777 with Flameproof Ex d IIC & Increased Safety Ex e II forms of protection.
The Ducab Type 777 Insulated Adaptor allows the Metallic Cable Gland, and ultimately the cable armour, to be effectively isolated from the equipment. The use of these Adaptors has proven to be an essential precaution in areas where electromagnetic noise and circulating eddy currents stray around any vulnerable cable system. Particularly relevant in Power Plants and in areas where highly sensitive instrumentation circuits are relied upon for interference free safety critical operations, the cable armour can still be connected to ground externally with the use of an earth tag tted between the cable gland and insulated adaptor. This allows the user to design his system around a single point earthing strategy and allows the operator to perform tests on the earth circuit without disconnection of the elements installed. A General Purpose Industrial version is also available. Ducab 777 Insulated Adaptors are available in Brass, Aluminium or Stainless Steel and can be supplied for both Industrial and Hazardous Area applications, with Ex d & Ex e Component Approval.

Entry Thread Sealing Washers T o maintain the Ingress Protection rating between the equipment and cable gland it may be necessary to t an Entry Thread Sealing Washer at the gland entry interface. For Explosion Protected equipment it is essential to maintain the integrity of the degree of Ingress Protection at which the equipment has been rated. The need for a sealing washer will very much depend on the Ingress Protection rating and code of protection of the equipment and the type of entry holes available within that equipment.

A B

T o verify the effectiveness of the Ducab nylon entry sealing washers independent 3rd party tests to EN 60529 have been successfully conducted on Cable Glands at IP66, IP67 & IP68 levels of protection. Ducab can therefore provide Independent documentary evidence of such tests to the highest standards.

The Ducab Entry Thread Sealing Washers are produced in 2mm Thick White Nylon as standard which are recommended and meet the specied requirements of Shells Offshore operations.

For example when Ex e apparatus or terminal boxes which are permitted to have untapped through clearance holes it will be necessary to t a sealing washer to ensure that the minimum IP54 requirement (for gas / vapour hazards) is met. Whereas other equipment having tapped entry holes may not require a sealing washer to maintain the rated integrity of the installation, or the minimum requirement for the specied form of protection.

Ducab also offers as an alternative, cable glands, adaptors, reducers, and stopper plugs with Integral Entry Thread O Ring Seal, as pictured opposite.

The selection of Ducab trefoil cable cleats

When the cable diameter and anticipated maximum fault level are known it is easy to select a cleat and the appropriate spacing to give the most economical installation. However, other constraints such as space on the ladder or the need to t the base before the strap may mean other alternatives must be considered. The following tables give recommended cleat spacing along the cable run for the Ducab range of cleats for more popular cable sizes at different peak fault levels.

Ducab Vulcan Range-taking Cable Cleats

Vulcan cable cleats are available for trefoil, single, quad and bundled cable applications where moderate levels of short circuit withstand are required. The unique compact design allows easy installation where space is limited. Manufactured in type 316 stainless steel they offer ultimate protection against the harshest environmental conditions. T o protect and cushion the cables during short circuit conditions, the cleat comes with an integral LSF Zero Halogen Polymeric liner and base pad. Recommended xing methods include using either one or two 10mm bolts (available as extras). A Retention Strap (see page 12 for details) can be tted between wider spaced cleats for a more economical installation. Vulcan cable cleats are supplied with an A4 clamping bolt and an A2 Nyloc nut. For offshore use we recommend the use of an A4 Nyloc nut, which should be specied at the time of ordering.

Ducab Retention Straps

Retention Straps are designed for use with any of the Ducab cleat ranges of trefoil cleats. When Retention Straps are adopted, cleats can be spaced more widely than normal. The less expensive Retention Strap can be tted at mid-intervals between cleats to restrain cables in the event of a short-circuit. No facility is provided for xing to ladder rungs. T o protect and cushion cables during short-circuit conditions, the Retention Strap is tted with an integral LSF Zero Halogen Polymeric liner. Manufactured to order for specic cable diameter ranges, retention straps can provide a more economical solution in the case of major projects. Note: LSF liners are recommended for use with Smokemaster cables.

Ducab Triplex Cable Surround

Manufactured from LSF Zero Halogen Polymeric material. The Triplex Cable Surround product can be used incorporated within a single cable cleat to secure three single core cables which are spirally twisted together (triplex cable). The surround overcomes the twist in the cable to allow cleating at any point along the length.

Ducab Cable Cleating Systems

Why use Ducab cable cleats for securing cables?

Ducab cable cleats are designed to x, retain and support cables. In addition, where short-circuit faults are anticipated, correct cleating will result in the containment of the cables during a fault and enable the circuit to be restored once the fault has been repaired. When adjacent cables carrying three phase current suffer a short circuit fault, the induced magnetic elds result in the cables experiencing signicant opposing forces, a safe installation requires well designed and thoroughly tested cable cleats.

Short circuits and short circuit testing

Short circuit current is given either as a peak or an rms value. The peak current is the maximum current experienced by any of the phases and it occurs once within the rst few milliseconds of the start of the fault. The rms current is a calculated value for the initial cycles of the fault. The relationship between peak current and rms current varies from installation to installation. The forces experienced by a cleat during a short circuit are a function of short circuit current, cleat spacing and the distance between the cable centres (in the case of trefoil arrangements this is the cable diameter). When comparing short circuit test results for different products all three factors must be taken into consideration to compare the relative aggressiveness of the tests. The following formula taken from the draft Cenelec standard for cable cleats prEN 50368 calculates the force experienced by a cleat with cables arranged in trefoil formation:

Ft = 0.17 x ip S
Where: ip Ft

= the peak short-circuit current (kA) = the cable diameter (m)

= maximum force on the cable conductor in trefoil formation for a three phase short-circuit (N/m)

This formula gives the static load instantaneously created by the short circuit, however the phase changes of the alternating current mean that the forces on the cable and their direction are changing continuously. No simple formula and no static test can assess the effect of these dynamic forces. The ultimate proof of any product to withstand a short-circuit is to undertake a short-circuit test. Short circuit tests are carried out on a regular basis at various testing stations including The British Short Circuit T esting Station, Hebburn (BSTS). This comprehensive testing program enables us to produce empirical results when developing new products as well as to ensure that our existing products meet the appropriate International Standards. Recent tests have been conducted in accordance with the requirements of the current draft European Standard. Ducab are happy to allow their cable cleats to be subjected to any comparative tests with competitors products. Copies of test reports and video footage of tests on CD Rom are available on request.
