Description
An explosion proof Explosion proof cable gland, also known as a cable fitting or cable connector, is a device used to secure and seal electrical cables as they enter enclosures, junction boxes, or equipment in hazardous environments where theres a risk of explosion due to the presence of flammable gases, vapors, liquids, or combustible dust. The primary purpose of an Explosion proof cable gland is to prevent the passage of gases and flames along the cable and into the enclosure, ensuring that the hazardous atmosphere remains contained. A typical cable gland consists of several components, including a body, compression nut, sealing ring, clamping insert, and lock nut. These components work together to create a secure and sealed connection around the cable. These cable glands are essential components in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, chemical processing, mining, and manufacturing, where maintaining the safety of electrical installations is of paramount importance in explosive atmospheres.
