Why Use Cable Clamps?

Cable Clamp is used to ensure the retention and support of cables and conductors, and reduce the mechanical load on the cables due to their own weight.

By firmly fixing, holding and correctly supporting the cables, the mechanical load applied to the cable terminals can be reduced, thereby protecting the cable terminals. CMP cable clamps are designed and tested to prevent damage to the cables in the event of a short circuit fault; once the fault is eliminated, the circuit can be restored.

The latest IEC61914 standard details the requirements and test contents of cable clamps and intermediate ties used to fix cables in electrical facilities. CMP cable clamps provide the necessary suppression of the electromechanical repulsion of cables and additionally implement the following safety measures:

Support cables and conductors
Reduce the mechanical load caused by the cable's own weight
Reduce the mechanical load that the cable terminals are susceptible to
Reduce the mechanical load that the cable suffers due to electrical faults

The users of cable clamps take careful operation, personal safety, environmental protection, and the implementation of a zero-harm HSE policy as their core values.

BS7671:2008 IET Wiring Regulations 17th Edition:

522.8.3 – The bending radius of cables in wiring systems shall be such that the conductors or cables are not damaged and the cable terminals are not pulled.

“522.8.4 – If the conductors or cables cannot be continuously supported due to the installation method, they need to be supported at appropriate spacing and methods so that the conductors or cables are not affected by their own weight.”

“522.8.5 – Cables or wires should be supported in a manner that avoids excessive mechanical tension and prevents undue mechanical tension on the wire terminals, which is generally considered to be caused by the weight of the supported cables or wires.”
