Cable Gland Sin$le Co&pression

Cable Gland 1o ble Co&pression

W)at is difference bet2een Sin$le Co&pression and 1o ble Co&pression3 5ouble compression glands provide e@tra support to the heavy armored cables entering or e@iting the panel while single compression glands are used for light armored cables.

=ormal Cable land is also called #ingle Compression Cable land. As the name suggests, while you tighten the gland, the grip or compression is effected only at one p Alace ;i.e.< at the cable armour only. "here is scope for moisture and corrosive vapour to enter the gland and thus into the cable. /hereas in 5oubleBCompression land, the compression happens both at the cable armour as well as at the inner sheath. "his is sort of two sealing. Cence, chances of moisture or vapour entry are minimised. Cence these glands are also 8nown as /eatherBproof cable glands or 4lameBproof cable glands.

"he mechanical support for the cable is only =eopen rubber seal, /hen you tighting the cable. )n double camp gland the mechanical support to the cable only cone and cone ring. /hen doing glanding the cable armor sits on the cone and cone ring act as a loc8 for armor. #ingle compression and double compression glands are used on the basis of area classification. "hose who are affiliated with oil and gas sector they will easily understand about area classification. D )n $one 0 where the presence of hydrocarbon is obvious ;))C< double compression gland is used because the flame path in case of double compression gland is much more than in case of single compression gland. "he logic behind this is that if there is any e@plosion inside the terminal bo@ of the motor no flame should be able to come out through the cable gland in order to prevent fire ha$ards but where there is no presence of hydrocarbons i.e. no danger of fire ha$ards ;))A' )).< single compression glands are used. )t has nothing to do with mechanical strength. &ven in case of lighting fi@tures used in ))C $one double compression glands are used.

Installation Instr ctions for Cable Gland Types CW: 1. )f required fit shroud over the cable outer sheath.

2. !repare the cable by removing the cable outer sheath and the armor to suit the geometry of the equipment. 6emove a further 1Emm ;ma@imum< of outer sheath to e@pose the armor. )f applicable remove any tapes or wrappings to e@pose the cable inner sheath. !. #eparate the cable gland entry component from subBassembly.

,. 7ocate the detachable armor cone into the recess of the entry component. !ass cable through entry component evenly spacing the armor around the cone.

/. /hilst continuing to push the cable forward to maintain the armor in contact with the cone tighten the body of subBassembly onto entry component.

"ighten the outer seal nut until either,

i< "he outer seal nut ma8es metal to metal contact with the gland body, or ii< "he outer seal nut has clearly engaged the cable and cannot be further tightened without the use of e@cessive force by the installer. "his completes the procedure for direct entry installation.

#ecure the complete gland into the equipment

5etermine the conductor length required to suite the geometry of the equipment and prepare the cable accordingly, removing part of the outer sheath where required to reveal the insulated conductors

&nsure that the seal ;located within the entry item< is in a rela@ed state by loosening the outer seal nut.

)f required pass the shroud over the cable. !ass the cable through the gland to desired position, and then tighten the outer seal nut by hand into the entry item until heavy resistance is felt, then rotate one full turn with a spanner.
