CABLE CLEATS FOR UNDERGROUND CABLES

1 GENERAL

This part of the specification covers cable cleats and cable fixing devices. 2 SAFETY ASSURANCE Safety and Quality

For the installation works safety regulations as specified in Standard Technical Specification, Part: S-AA-GEN-SQA 3 DRAWINGS Title Sample of Wooden Cleat Sample of Trefoil Silumin Cleats Sample of Multi-Cleat

Sample of Cleats provided in the Drawings Section are as follows: Drawing No. DWG TR CAB 01 25 01 DWG TR CAB 01 25 02 DWG TR CAB 01 25 03 4 4.1

CABLES SUPPORTED ON RACKS OR TRAYS Single-Core Power Cables

If single-core power cables are arranged horizontally and vertically, they shall be clamped with trefoil multi-cleats at least every 1.0 m (at walls, racks, etc.). Non-magnetic clamps must be used for this purpose, to brace the cables against dynamic impulse forces during short-circuits and to avoid closed conductive loops. The spacing of cable-supporting metallic work shall be to the approval of ADDC/AADC. Every non-flexible cable shall be securely supported at a point not more than 1.0 m from its terminal gland to prevent stressing of the terminal, and on vertical runs passing through floors, the cable shall be supported immediately above the floor. 4.2 Control Cables

Control cables shall be secured with metal fixings such as stainless steel cable ties, strapping or cable clamps with the following minimum fixing distances:
