Safety measures while dealing with Underground cables

This blog focuses on approach while dealing with underground cables, which is often overlooked. It can be harmful and hazardous if not dealt right. One of the main dangers which may arise when digging is that of possible injury from underground power cables. Injuries resulting from damage to live power cables are usually caused by the explosive effects of arcing current and by associated fire or flames. This can occur when the sheath of the cable and the conductor insulation are penetrated by a sharp object, such as the point of a tool, or when the cable is crushed severely enough to cause contact between the sheathing and one or more conductors. This typically causes severe and potentially fatal burns to the hands, face and body. Direct electric shock is also a possibility. Furthermore, some high voltage power cables are oil filled and oil can ignite. Electrical fires can be catastrophic if damage spreads to other nearby services such as gas pipes. Such accidents are ca...

Guidelines for Robotic cable management

To improve the efficiency of any system, you need to have certain structure. In this blog, we are going to focus on Robotic cable management , is a fundamental part of robotic efficiency, often overlooked or saved for the last part of the design process. There are several special considerations that need to take place to ensure proper robotic cable management. If you still have questions such as, why is robotic cable management important? How can you ensure you choose the best robotic cable management solution? The Importance Poor management of robotic cables can lead to a number of problems . The most common is the poorly designed cable system which restricts the motion of a robotic arm. With robots becoming more flexible, we need upgrade in the cable design to match this flexibility. By preparing cables for the entire range of motion of the robot, not just application specific motions. You would not want to end up with a cable that restricts the motion, and thus the ...

Basics of Cables and Connectors

If we check the history of electric cables, the real demand for wires and Cables to conduct electric power began in 1871, with the invention of the first dependable dynamo. The telegraph and telephone swelled demand for efficient methods of transmitting electric current and signals over long distances. The insulation back in the days was paper coated. Just imagine Paper-coated pitch wrapped each individual wire, insulating it from the others. The whole batch was then wrapped in paper. Some even suggested laying these batches in tubes coated in resin and placing them underground to keep curious young boys away from them. In the case of cables, factors like resistance, capacitance and impedance all play a role. There's also a great many more electrical sources , magnetic sources and broadcast radio frequencies today than there were in the days of paper and pitch insulation. All of these factors can affect a cable's transmission. As a result, shielding is another impo...

Basics with LAPP, Connector Manufacturers India

To reduce any instances of the short circuit, we make use of connectors . And, LAPP , Connector Manufacturers India is doing a great job in providing quality connectors to ensure safety . The electrical accidents are lethal, LAPP, Connector Manufacturers India, is well equipped to handle this sort of incidents. Most of the short circuit incidences can be avoided just by making use of quality connectors. What are connectors and how are they employed? The basic requirement while using any system is the safe conduct of electric current. We have insulated cables to ensure the transfer of electricity, in order to establish the continuous path we make use of electric connectors. In this section, our focus will be on the terminology and specifications associated with connectors. The different connector types as well as the basic formats and the different types of specification. ·        Plugs and sockets : There are two formats of connectors...

History of Data Communication cables

The by-products of the advancing technology have certainly created a lot of confusion among the consumers. If we consider the networking cables, the types of network cables employed in any network infrastructure are one of the most important aspects of networking, and it has become increasingly critical with the introduction of newer technologies. If we go through the history of the data communication cables, you will find the roots from where it all started. History We tend to think of digital communication as a new idea, if we go back in time, like in 1844, Samuel Morse sent a message 37 miles from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, using his new invention, the telegraph. This may seem a far cry from today's computer networks, but the principles remain the same. Morse code is a type of binary system that uses dots and dashes in different sequences to represent letters and numbers. Modern data networks use ones and zeros to achieve the same result. The big difference is, ...

Common household electrical problems

Not many have the superpower to see the subtle signs of electrical problems, which can cause catastrophic effect, if not taken care of. When it comes to household electrics, your safety is paramount.  Cable manufacturers in India  such as  LAPP  is constantly working towards building safer environment to control electricity, without causing any harm. Talking about signs, flickering lights, high bills and damaged appliances can all be a sign of electrical problems on your home circuit. In this article, we are going to shift our focus to identifying problems, with the  appropriate solution , which are listed below. 1.      Frequent electrical surges Electrical surges can be caused by anything from lightning strikes, damage to power lines, faulty appliances and bad electrical wiring in the house. While an actual surge only lasts a microsecond, frequent surges can damage the electrical components connected t...

High-speed ETHERLINE® cables make assembly even easier

If a cable ages or is damaged in a machine or control cabinet, it usually has to be replaced quickly to prevent production stoppages or more severe consequential damage. But replacing a cable takes time. Lapp, cable manufacturers in India has addressed this problem: Thanks to its Fast Connect technology, the new ETHERLINE® PN CAT.6 A  Fast Connect has clear advantages over other cables when it comes to installation and assembly. Thanks to a cross separator that separates the four pairs of wires and an inner sheath the cable does not need pair screening. Unlike with conventional cables, there is no need to remove a film screen from all four pairs of wires. As a result, Fast Connect cables are quick and easy to assemble. The special tool from Lapp, which prepares the cable optimally for connector assembly in a single operation, saves even more time. The new shielding also ensures a long service life. Minimum work when connecting devices, easy assembly with a single ...
