Short Circuit Restraint for Power Cables
BAND-FAST is a versatile Cable Clamping System for harsh, hazardous and high-performance industrial cable support applications – the cost-saving cable banding solution comprises stainless steel pre-cut banding with pre-assembled buckle.
This IEC61914 compliant cable management system provides installers with significant labour productivity gains of up to 30% and up to 75% material cost savings compared to cable cleats for the short-circuit retention and support of power cables.
Two options are available: a PPA Coated version and an Uncoated version with captive clip both manufactured from type 316 stainless steel – high strength, compact flat profile, space and weight saving, non-corrosive and fire resistant.
The cable clamps have successfully been utilised on the following applications:
- Onshore & Offshore Windfarms (including Converter Stations
- Solar Farms
- Data Centres
- Offshore Platforms / FPSO’s
- Shipbuilding & Marine
- Refineries / Petrochem
- Public Buildings
Specialist Subsea Cable & Pipeline Applications
BAND-FAST cable clamps are also available in highly corrosion resistance materials including: Monel®, Alloy 625, Zeron100 and 316 Stainless Steel for the attachment of polyurethane mouldings, saddles, protectors and piggy-back clamps in subsea energy projects.
