IPD Industrial Products is an Australian owned leading manufacturer & distributor of a wide variety of low voltage electrical, lighting, energy management and industrial control products for the Australian Industry.

IPD traces its beginnings to the General Electric Company Ltd of England, founded in 1886. The history of GEC can be found on our website “About Us”. Over the years, the company integrated the major electrical businesses of GEC, English Electric, Marconi, WT Henley, Elliot Bros and A.E.I to comprise one of the most extensive and diverse electrical engineering and manufacturing organisations in the world.

In 1956, English Electric company opened its operation at Regents Park in Sydney, and since then has provided employment and training to thousands of people in the Australian electrical industry. Today the business is a much changed and diverse organisation, renamed IPD Group Limited subsequent to the management buyout in 2005 and is proudly a 100% Australian owned, managed and operated company.

Ellis Patents (UK) specialise in the design & manufacture ofcable cleats to fix, retain and support cables and are managed inAustralia by IPD. Where short-circuit faults are anticipated, correct cleating will result in the containment of the cables during a fault and enable the circuit to be restored once the fault has been repaired.

A safe installation requires cable cleats that are well designed and thoroughly tested in line with IEC 61914:2009. Both IPD & Ellis Patents are accredited to ISO 9001:2008.

IPD designs and manufactures a large range of productsspecifically suited to Australia. Our engineering team develops,tests and certifies equipment ensuring conformity to Australianand International standards delivering the highest customersatisfaction.

You can find all IPD product catalogues, technical source material, CAD blocks, reference material, specification and test certification on our knowledge based website;www.ipdgroup.com.au.

We welcome you to our business and look forward to being a partner of choice.

SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT FORCES

SHORT CIRCUIT FORCE CALCULATION

When adjacent cables carrying three phase current suffer a short circuit fault, the induced magnetic fields result in the cables experiencing significant opposing forces.

The forces experienced by a cleat during a short circuit are a function of:- short circuit current in kA peak - cleat spacing - distance between the cable centres (in the case of trefoil arrangements, this is the cable diameter).

The following formula taken from the current standard IEC 61914:2009 for cable cleats calculates the force experienced by a cleat with cables arranged in trefoil formation:

Ft = 0.17 x ip²

WHERE

Ft = maximum force on the cable connector in trefoil formation for a three phase short-circuit (N/m).

ip = the peak short-circuit current (kA).

S = the cable diameter (m).

This formula gives the static load instantaneously created by the short circuit, however the phase changes of the alternating current means that the force on the cable and their direction are changing continuously. No simple formula and no static test can assess the effect of these dynamic forces. The ultimate proof of any product to withstand a short-circuit is to undertake a short-circuit test.

Ellis Patents carry out short circuit tests on a regular basis at various testing stations in accordance with the requirements of the current standards.

FAQ

Question: How do I choose the appropriate cleat for the application? Answer: Supply us with the details of – environment, mounting structure, cable configuration, peak short circuit fault level and cable diameter. We will advise the type of cleat to use and its spacing.

Question: Why do IPD & ELLIS offer so many different types of Trefoil cleats? Answer: The cleats have varying strength characteristics relevant to the fault current levels. Refer to the respective applications, data, material and test results of different cable cleats.

Question: Why do I need to use a liner? Answer: The liner provides added protection and cushions the cables during short circuit conditions.

Question: Why are cleats produced in stainless steel or aluminium? Answer: Both stainless steel and aluminium are non magnetic materials and are unaffected by the magnetic fields, which surround power cables. Cables fixed with cleats made of magnetic materials can cause localized heating of the cable through the effect of induction.

Question: Please can I have some advice on securing multi core cables? Answer: We are not aware of any published data, which indicates any particular fixing method but custom and practice suggests that most users presume that any forces on the conductors, which arise in the event of a short circuit, will be restrained within the cable outer sheath and therefore cable cleats are not required. The mechanisms within a multi-core cable, which help restrain the conductors in the event of a short circuit include: 1.The cable outer sheath. 2. The helical winding of the cores. 3. Steel wire or other type of armour if present. In order to be able to provide meaningful advice we undertook a series of short circuit tests using 3 core, copper conductor, multi-core cables from various cable manufacturers. Both armoured and unarmoured cables were tested across a variety of conductor sizes but because of the number of manufacturers and the variety of cable types and methods of construction available, it was not feasible to carry out exhaustive tests. The results of the tests were varied but clearly showed that it is unsafe to presume that the forces between the conductors will always be restrained within the outer sheath of the cable, whether or not the cable is armoured or tightly helically wound. Our conclusion is that, unless the relevant cable manufacturer can give assurances regarding the performance of their specific cable at the anticipated fault level, fault rated cable cleats provide the safest option for securing multi-core cables.

FAQ

Question:What is Thread Galling?Answer:Thread galling is a known phenomenon which can occur when using stainless steel fasteners. A breakdown in the material’s protective oxide layer results in the set screw and nut becoming welded together. To reduce the incidence of thread galling, excessive pressure and speed should be avoided during installation. Thread lubricants can also be used at the point of application if problems are experienced.

Question: What is the difference between 316, 316L, 304 and 304L stainless steel?Answer: 304 and 316 are both similar austenitic stainless steels, which are designed to withstand corrosion. 316 is the superior grade because it contains molybdenum, which enhances its resistance to corrosion and makes it appropriate for use in a marine environment. There is a simple test which may be carried out to determine whether molybdenum is present in a particular sample of steel. The importance of using 316L rather than 316 stainless steel, relates to the corrosion resistance of the steel after welding. Stainless steel resists corrosion because it forms an impervious oxide layer on its surface which heals itself when oxygen is present. When stainless steel is welded, chromium carbide may precipitate at the grain boundaries. This depletes the chromium within the austenite and prevents the passive oxide layer being formed. Because the grain boundaries are small and highly anodic, rapid corrosion occurs. This process can be prevented by using steels with a carbon content of less than 0.035 (316 has typically les than 0.07% carbon, 316L has typically less than 0.03% carbon).

Question: What is Galvanic Corrosion?Answer: When dissimilar metals are in contact in the presence of an electrolyte, galvanic corrosion occurs. This means that one of the metals will be protected and the other metal will suffer accelerated corrosion. Although seawater is an obvious electrolyte, all atmospheric moisture acts as an electrolyte to some degree so galvanic corrosion will almost always occur when dissimilar metals are in contact. However, this may not always be detrimental such as in the case of galvanized steel, where the zinc coating acts as a sacrificial anode and protects the steel it covers, even when the surface is scratched. Although they are different materials, it is quite acceptable to fasten a stainless steel cleat to galvanized latter using a stainless fixing because the corrosion resistant properties of stainless steel are brought about by the metal’s ability to generate a passive impervious film on its surface, which self repairs in the presence of oxygen. If the passive layer breaks down (say due to movement between the cleat or bolt and the galvanized ladder) galvanic corrosion will take place but the zinc layer on the ladder will then protect the cleat and its fixing by the same mechanism by which it protects the steel ladder itself. In the process of galvanic corrosion the more “resistant” metal (in the case the stainless steel cleat) becomes less susceptible to corrosion and the less “resistant” metal (the galvanized steel ladder) becomes more susceptible to corrosion. However, the ratio of areas of both metals is very significant and because the surface area of the ladder is much greater than the surface area of the cleats the rate of increased corrosion on the ladder becomes negligible. A good example of the effect of surface area on galvanic corrosion is to look at the suitability of fasteners for fittings on boats. It would be quite acceptable to use a stainless fastener on a galvanized fitting (the fitting acts as the sacrificial anode and protect the fastener) but unacceptable to use a galvanized fastener on a stainless fitting (the fastener acts as the sacrificial anode and corrodes away at an accelerated rate).
