The solar energy market has grown exponentially in recent years. As a result, the installation of cables in photovoltaic panels has now become an important area. To reduce failures and maintenance, professional cable management is essential. But what do workers need to look out for? Which products are the most suitable? Learn more now.
To survive in international competition, manufacturers strive to keep the cost of production as low as possible. Yet even though suitable parts might be available on the market at a cheaper price, many still produce components more expensively themselves. By providing CAD data and 3D previews online for free, HellermannTyton now gives engineers an easy means of finding the right solution for their construction needs. … Continue reading
In addition to facing harsh weather conditions, solar plant components must also endure other challenges. These include poor application of wire and cable management as well as a missing maintenance strategy, which can be catastrophic to the performance of the entire solar plant.
But in contrast to high temperatures, storms, and natural disasters, problems with cable management in solar installations are both predictable and easily avoidable. Getting on top of these issues helps this renewable energy source to grow economically. In Brazil, for example, forecasts indicate that the number of installed solar energy systems should reach 800,000 by 2024. … Continue reading
When cables or connectors need extra protection and insulation, such as when installed outdoors or even buried, the best option is to use heat shrink tubing with inner adhesive. This will guarantee, thanks to its high adherence, an extremely efficient seal, preventing the entrance of dirt and humidity in both outdoor and indoor environments – even if buried underground without additional protection.

Length, material, colour, shrink ratio: Depending on the application, the requirements for heat-shrink tubing can vary considerably. That’s why the range of products is so large. If, for example, special protection against moisture and other environmental influences is required, customers prefer shrink tubing lined with adhesive. SA47-LA is one of these ‘dual wall’ products. However, this is no ordinary tubing. Especially where aluminium-copper connections need to be sealed it is the market leader. Read here what makes SA47-LA so special and in for which applications it is ideal. … Continue reading
Between dirty shrink discs, hydraulic oil and muck: the workplaces of industrial mechanics in the hydraulic service are not exactly the cleanest. Anyone who services hydraulic components and systems can find that important product labels and informative barcodes are no longer legible due to the dirt. The air pressure and last service date may no longer be recognisable. … Continue reading
