Ellis Patents Cable Cleat Calculator
Ellis Patents Cable Cleat Calculator
by Thorne & Derrick | Ellis Patents UK Distributor
Tool To Help With Cable Cleat Selection
Ellis Patents has once again demonstrated why they stands alone as the cable cleat market’s leading innovator – having developed an online calculator that will provide users with completely accurate specification information for any project in a matter of seconds.
The cable cleat calculator provides correctly specified cleat spacings with respect to short circuit conditions; and recommends the ideal products for that specific project. This is achieved through a pre-programmed calculation that takes into consideration cable formation, cable size, short circuit current and the installation environment.
The questions asked in this calculator are designed to provide Ellis with the proper information to specify the correct cable cleat for your project. The questions consider cable formation, cable size, short circuit forces and the installation environment only.
It should be noted that issues such as cable weight for vertical cable runs, thermo-mechanical forces, extreme environmental conditions (e.g. extreme temperatures, industrial pollutants etc.) and any other non-standard cable installation factors have not been considered.
Thorne & Derrick distributors for Ellis Patents should be made aware of these issues should they be present for your project.
PEAK VS RMS CURRENT
The formula uses peak current, however this is often unavailable with a Root Mean Square (RMS) value given instead. To calculate the peak current from the RMS, IEC 61439-1 Low voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies is commonly referred to, which uses the following multiples:
10kA < I ≤ 20kA Multiply by 2
20kA < I ≤ 50kA Multiply by 2.1
50kA < I Multiply by 2.2
INTERMEDIATE Cable STRAPS
The use of intermediate straps are not considered within the calculator.
The below table details the straps suitable for each cleat whereby the cleat to cable strap spacing is the same as the calculated cleat spacing.
FLEXI-STRAP (SD) and PROTECT: VULCAN+, VULCAN+ QUAD, TRIDENT, ALPHA, VARI-CLEAT
FLEXI-STRAP (HD): EMPEROR, COLOSSUS
FIXED INTERVAL SPACING
For fixed interval spacing applications such as cable ladder, the calculated cleat spacing should be rounded down to the closest possible interval. In the example of standard cable ladder which provides a cleat mounting surface every 300mm, should the calculated spacing be 0.8m the spacing to suit cable ladder should be rounded down to 0.6m.
CALCULATION ASSUMPTIONS
- Multiplication factor of 2.2 used to convert RMS to peak (based on IEC 61439-1).
- Spacings given may only be suitable for a category 1 short circuit for certain products. Refer to Ellis to confirm whether category 2 criteria can be applied to the product spacing calculation provided.
- Spacings for No Bolts Cleat assume a worst case scenario of a stacked formation. Larger spacings can be achieved if the cleat is fastened separately, refer to Ellis for more details.
- Spacings for the 2F+ clamp assume the strength throughout the range is consistent. In reality it changes considerably and larger spacings may be achievable for larger cleats as the lowest strength has been assumed in this calculator.
- Ellis have strived to ensure that the results generated by the calculator are accurate and correct at the time of use, it is however recommended to contact Ellis to confirm the calculated spacing is suitable prior to order placement. All calculated spacings are based on the results of short circuit testing to IEC 61914.
Stephen Walton, Technical Director of Ellis Patents, said: “Correctly specifying cable cleats and the spacing that the cleats need to be installed at is vital in ensuring they function properly when called onto cable management systems. Until now, specifiers and planners needed to make the calculation using a complex formula, and then interpret these results into product type, quantity and exact spacing.”
“Our cable cleat calculator removes this complicated mathematical element from the specification process; and replaces it with a fool proof option that provides the correct cleat specification quickly and easily.”
Ellis Patents designs and manufactures all of its cable cleats in North Yorkshire, and has a global reputation for both its products, and its proven ability to solve problems through innovative thinking. This has seen the company create new products in live project situations for the likes of Balfour Beatty and Siemens; and cure a major health and safety installation headache for Network Rail.
“Our innovative approach to product and service development has served us well over the years; opening many doors that would have remained firmly shut to more traditional manufacturers,” continued Stephen.
“With the cable cleat calculator I’m confident this single online tool will have the biggest impact of any of our innovations to date; as it really does have the potential to be adopted as an industry essential across the globe.”

Solar Farms Replace Nylon Cable Ties With Metal Cable Ties
BAND-IT Ball-Lok Metal Cable Ties
Essential. Everywhere. Together.
The BAND-IT Ball-Lok range of stainless steel cable ties provide fast and reliable bundling of LV MV HV cables for maximum strength, reliability and clamping of cables.
The corrosion resistant stainless cable steel ties with self-locking design are used to bundle, tie or fasten cables in both onshore and offshore locations including industrial, substation and hazardous area locations with potentially explosive atmospheres.
Several developers and installers of solar farms specify BAND-IT cable ties for a better solution that matches the lifespan of the photovoltaic panels and replaces nylon cable ties with Ball-Lok cable ties as part of their cable management portfolio.
The decision has been by many solar farms to replace the nylon ties with BAND-IT metal cable ties to reduce maintenance and costly failures.
Currently there are over 2,000 solar farms (over 10 MW) planned throughout the United States. The average livespan of a photovoltaic panel is 20 years, which is much longer than the lifespan of a traditional nylon cable tie, especially in extreme heat and UV exposure typically found in high producing solar areas.

HV Cable Cleats
As part of its comprehensive cable cleat range, CMP offers a selection of high voltage (HV) cable cleats that are designed to safely restrain high voltage cable (s). CMP is able to provide cable cleats for any level of cable voltage; for example 3.3kV, 230kV or 1,000kV.
Manufactured from the highest quality materials, CMP’s HV cable cleat range has excellent corrosion resistance, strength and durability, making them suitable for use in the harshest of environments.
Designed and manufactured in accordance with the International Standard IEC 61914: Cable cleats for electrical installations, CMP cable cleats undergo rigorous short circuit testing.
CMP designed two bespoke trefoil cable cleats for high voltage cable for the major, and highly technical Singapore Tunnel Project.
What standards does the range comply with?
All CMP high voltage cable cleats are third-party certified in accordance with the International Standard IEC 61914: Cable cleats for electrical installations, to ensure the securing and retention of cables without sustaining damage to the cable(s).
Where specific client requirements mean that the short circuit test parameters fall outside of the criteria laid out in IEC 61914; for example the customer specific size of cable to be tested is larger, or the number of cleats per test setup is smaller; then the test procedure and criteria of IEC 61914, and the customer’s test requirements, are both adhered to.
CMP has conducted numerous additional client specific tests, with certification obtained as required on a project specific basis.
What materials are used for CMP’s High Voltage Cable Cleats?
CMP’s high voltage cable cleats are manufactured from the highest quality 316L stainless steel to provide products with high creep strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
A selection of products within this range are also available in aluminium. The grades of aluminium we use are selected for their high corrosion resistance and superior tensile strength.
Cleats can be optionally powder coated – CMP offers standard Epoxy or Polyester powder coating. A polymer alloy coating which is UL94 V0 flame retardant, and Low Smoke and Fume Zero Halogen (LSF0H) is also available.
The polymer cleat liners supplied as standard are classified as Low Smoke and Fume Zero Halogen (LSF0H) and Phosphorus-Free.
Bespoke HV cable cleats for specific project requirements
CMP works with clients to design and manufacture bespoke cable cleat solutions to cater for specific project requirements. We can supply industrial products which do not require certification, designed to exact requirements.
We also offer a design service which includes all testing and third party certification of the products.
Using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) during the product design process, CMP’s dedicated cleat development team are able to model the stresses on cable cleats under short circuit situations, allowing them to make accurate predictions as to how products will perform when installed. This saves vast amounts of time in the early development and testing phases, reducing the overall lead time for our customers.
