ALSTOM Australia Industrial Products is a leading manufacturer and supplier of medium voltage and low voltage cable jointing systems and related cable accessories products in Australia.

In cooperation with WT Henley of the UK, and a number of leading suppliers world-wide including Jointmaster/ELCON, Plymouth/Bishop and Ellis Patents, ALSTOM Australia Industrial Products is able to satisfy customers over the past 40 years with a wide range of reliable and competitive products and services in jointing, sealing and installation accessories.

HENLEY Resin Protected Parallel Branch and Straight Through Joints

up to 15kV
Designed to accept a wide range of 3-core and single core 11kV cables, the Moulded Insulation Resin Protected (MIRP) joint caters for conductor sizes up to 400 sqmm. From paper insulated to polymeric cable, this innovative MIRP joint is designed by WT Henley for straight through, parallel branch, stub tee, stop end and transition jointing.

Features:
s

Mechanical Connector Conductor Jointing is easy to achieve with the use of our mechanical type connector. Manufactured from aluminium alloy, the connector has a removable bridge piece to aid in conductor insertion, while final connection is through torque controlled shear bolts. All of our connectors are tested and conform to IEC 61238 and BS4579 Standards showing our dedication to product safety and quality assurance. Connector Housing The MIRP joint features a unique design whereby insulation reinstatement and stress control are provided by a quick fit rubber housing. The incorporation of a semi-conducting layer as part of the dual construction housing effectively and efficiently addresses and removes high concentrations of electrical stress at the connector interface. We guarantee maximum security of our insulating housings by conducting 100% factory pre-testing. No other materials or processes are needed to effect a safe and totally reliable insulated system.

Earth Fault and Screen Protection A punched aluminium earth cage, installed over the jointed cores provides both earth fault continuity and effective earth screening. The completed joint has undergone extensive short circuit testing and readily meets the requirements of CENELEC - HD629.2, UK Electricity Council Recommendation - ERC 90, Kema Specification - 52. Polyurethane Resin Encapsulation This material has many unique design features and as with many other WT Henley products, has been continually updated to meet the needs of todays cable designs and constructions. This product is totally compatible with all current cable types, is thermally stable, resistant to water ingress and possesses high impact strength making available to the world-wide electrical distribution industry, a fast, efficient, cost effective and proven method of joint encapsulation. Joint Shell The vacuum formed styrene joint shell is designed to provide a profiled moulding into which the resin encapsulant is poured. The shell is tailored to provide adequate resin coverage of internal components whilst minimising resin use. Installation This range of joints has been designed with ease of use in mind. Whilst jointing skills are necessary for those preparing and jointing cables, we believe that with this quick and easy to install joint, jointing productivity can be improved.

HENLEY Polyurethane Resin Compound

Properties The resin is a blend of complex polyols with selected additives formulated to give a stable product specifically suited to the requirements of a cable jointing compound. Pot life is controlled to give adequate time for mixing and pouring; setting takes place with a gradual increase in viscosity to give a rubber-like solid within about an hour. Hardness gradually increases for approximately the next twenty-four hours.

Stainless Steel Cable Cleats

from Ellis Patents
Emperor Cable Cleats It is versatile in design and application, suitable for low, medium and high voltage single and multi-core cables. It can accommodate an extensive range of cable diameters in trefoil and single cable formation. A range-taking version of the Emperor is also available for where exact cable diameters are not known, or where cable tolerances affect the given cable diameter. Key Features:
s

Vulcan Cable Cleats It is extremely versatile with its slim light frame, offering easy installation where space is limited. It can accommodate cables in 1, 3 or 4 formation up to 120mm in outside diameter. Similar to the Emperor cleat, it is constructed of Type 316 stainless steel with an inner liner of LSF zero halogen polymeric material. The Vulcan cleat has been tested and certified to withstand Short-Time and Peak Withstand Test Current of up to 43kA RMS (93.6kA peak) at 0.1 second. Vulcan offers the installer a compact cost effective multiple cable cleat manufactured in the highest quality material.

Type 316 stainless steel frame offers ultimate protection against the harshest corrosive conditions The frame base offers a dual fixing option of 2 x10mm or 1 x 12mm fixing Integral liner and base pad in a flame retardant, LSF zero halogen polymeric material which, in the event of fire, emits low smoke and fumes The liner also provides protection for the cable and cushions the cables during short- circuit conditions, helping to avoid cable damage

The Emperor cleats compact design means that the Emperor takes up a minimum amount of space on cable ladder rung or any suitable cable management system. It is quick and easy to install, which can lead to significant savings on installation costs. Testing and Certification: The Emperor cleat is certified to withstand ShortTime and Peak Withstand Test Current of up to 72kA RMS (154kA peak) at 0.3 second, and 81kA RMS (166kA peak) at 0.1 second. Such results make the Emperor one of the strongest cleats on the market.

Mount the cleat using a 6mm fixing screw or bolt and offer up the cable or pipe. Push the strap through the aperture to tighten. Once the cleat is sufficiently tight, lock the strap into position by pressing one side at a time between the sprung latches. To release the cleat, use a screwdriver to disengage the strap from the latches. Press the strap towards the mounting surface and push to release the ratchet. Once the cable is removed the cleat can be unfixed and re-installed.
