Installing high-voltage cables entails serious safety risks that should not be ignored. Here are some of the greatest dangers that can occur if handled or installed incorrectly:
- Risk of electric shock: High-voltage cables can carry life-threatening voltages; improper installation increases the risk of electric shock.
- Fire hazard: Incorrect installation can cause overheating and fires; careful installation is absolutely necessary.
- Mechanical damage: Inadequate fastenings can lead to cable breakage due to external influences.
- Environmental and health protection: Improper handling can release hazardous substances and cause damage to health and the environment.
- Missing labeling: Inadequate labeling can lead to accidental damage and danger to persons.
- Poor accessibility for maintenance: Incorrect routing makes maintenance and timely problem detection difficult.
In order to minimise these risks, it is crucial to use high-quality components in the fastening of high-voltage cables.
The Soft Grip series offers a safe and reliable way of fastening HV cables and helps to reduce the risks mentioned above. The use of innovative products not only increases safety, but also improves the efficiency of the installation.
Here are the advantages in detail:
- Cost efficiency: Using the Soft Grip series can contribute significantly to reducing overall costs. The use of standardised products instead of customer-specific developments eliminates high development costs and long lead times. Companies can therefore deploy their resources more efficiently while ensuring the quality of the installation.
- Safe hold: Unlike conventional metal clamps, which have sharp edges and can damage hoses, the Soft Grip series offers a gentle but firm hold. This minimises the risk of abrasion of the insulation, which is particularly important to ensure the integrity of the high-voltage cables.
- Stability: The design of the Soft Grip fasteners ensures that they remain stable and do not slip sideways or rotate, even when used on smooth surfaces like hoses. This stability is crucial for the safety and reliability of the entire installation.
- Versatility: The Soft Grip series is designed to cover a wide range of diameters. Different applications can be served with just one product, which reduces storage costs and increases flexibility when planning and implementing projects.
- Vibration damping: Another outstanding feature of Soft Grip fasteners is their ability to effectively suppress vibration noise. This not only helps to reduce noise in working environments, but also protects sensitive components from the damaging effects of vibration, extending the life of installed systems.
Overall, the products in the Soft Grip series offer a combination of safety, efficiency and versatility that makes them an ideal solution for modern installations - especially in demanding environments such as the high-voltage sector.
