Hemmink - This is crucial for the quality of an EMC cable gland
Unexplained function failures in your machine? Counters showing incorrect measurements in control equipment? Control components failing repeatedly? All of these could be the result of electromagnetic radiation. Naturally, you want your machine or installation to be EMC-safe and to avoid dealing with unexplained malfunctions, production interruptions, or even downtime. Electromagnetic shielding is becoming increasingly important.
EMC Cable Glands: Preventing Disruptions and Downtime
Cable glands play a significant role in the EMC shielding of a device or installation. They prevent disruptions and interruptions in production. As these consequences come with high costs, EMC cable glands are of crucial importance. In practice, standard glands that offer insufficient protection against electromagnetic radiation are still often used.
Attenuation values and current-carrying capacity
EMC cable glands ensure the discharge of interference currents just before they enter the enclosure (externally) and also within the enclosure (internally). Two factors play a significant role in the quality and effectiveness of an EMC cable gland: attenuation values and current-carrying capacity.
High attenuation values are essential to prevent interference signals that could hinder sensitive data transfer, such as measurement results and data in radar engineering, drive and control technology, and telecommunications. For example, Pflitsch' blueglobe TRI EMC cable gland exhibits exceptionally high attenuation values. This gland features a triangular spring that, due to its large contact surface and 360° enclosure, achieves perfect contact with the shield.
High current-carrying capacity is important when high current levels flow through the cable's shielding and need to be reliably discharged to the enclosure. Cable glands lacking sufficient current-carrying capacity can easily overheat and get damaged, leading to a loss of shielding guarantee. Especially in e-mobility, current-carrying capacity is highly important.
