The EMC cable gland means the cable gland with Electromagnetic Compatibility, it has the ability of a device or system to operate in its electromagnetic environment without causing unacceptable electromagnetic interference to any device in its environment. EMC cable glands protect electrical equipment from electromagnetic interference. They fulfil a key function in EMC protection at the critical transitions to enclosures.
There are four Cable Glands classified as single compression, double compression, flexible hose, PVC. Metric range offers glands from.. M12/12.0mm (4.0mm to 8.0mm cable range) up to M63/63.0mm (34.0mm to 44.0mm cable range). PG range offers glands from.. PG7/13.0mm (3.0mm to 6.5mm cable range) up to PG48/59.0 (34.00mm to 44.0mm cable range). Type A1: Type A1 cable connectors are often plastic glands used to protect the cable’s outer jacket. Type A2: Type A2 cable glands may be plastic or brass and feature an IP68-designated seal between the cable’s outer jacket and the gland.
Cable gland size is equal to the size of the cable bundle diameter. For example, if cable bundle diameter is 50mm means then we should select the 50MM cable gland only. The main functions of the Cable Gland are to act as a sealing and terminating device to ensure the protection of electrical equipment and enclosures, including the provision of: Environmental protection – by sealing on the outer cable sheath, excluding dust and moisture from the electrical or instrument enclosure.
