The Hawke International PSG553/RAC barrier cable gland is a no-mess alternative to Ex de cable gland installations. It is claimed to improve productivity and reduce installation time and ongoing maintenance.
The product eliminates the need for resins or putty; reduces mess and MSDS; eliminates curing time; and provides instant energisation after termination. It is suitable for outdoor or indoor use.
The device provides a barrier seal to the individual insulated cores within the cable and prevents entry of the products of an explosion into the cable. The required number of holes for the cores are punched in the seal by means of a special tool to suit the core size.
The product provides armour clamping using one clamping arrangement for all armour/braid types. A deluge protection option is also available.
It also provides cable retention and a low-smoke and -fume, zero-halogen seal on the cable’s outer sheath.
