Conduits for electrical cables

As previously mentioned, protection systems are crucial for properly installing an electrical system. For this reason, choosing the correct electrical conduits for specific needs is an essential step. Specifically, it is necessary to assess the environment where the electrical system must be installed and evaluate the possible risks – in terms of chemical or physical nature – to which the cables could be exposed. It is essential to consider climatic and environmental conditions that, even if only sporadically, could cause significant damage to the electrical system and – consequently – endanger the safety of structures and, even more seriously, of people.

Together with household electrical systems, very insidious electrical installations turn out to be those related to industrial plants. In fact, in this type of environment, electrical cables are often installed outdoors, or more commonly they are visible, on board the machines or robots. This is why each installation must be assessed individually, considering the particular risks to which it might be subjected.

Based on these considerations, Euro 2000’s electrical cable conduits can offer the most varied and appropriate solutions to face plant challenges and protect the installed cables.

Flexible Conduits: materials and applications

Flexible metal or corrugated nylon cable conduits are particularly suitable for industrial plants, on-board machines, and robotic systems such as connecting moving parts in the industrial sector.

For the industrial sector, the only industry we address, the applications are the follows:

• Industrial automation: for robots, automated lines, packaging, and internal transportation systems.
• Applications on-board the machine: for any machine with an electrical system.
• Industrial installations: for the civil sector, in industrial warehouses and commercial malls, for road infrastructure, highways, and bridges.
• Naval: for applications on board the ships, engines, and areas used as accommodations.
• Railway: for applications on board the train, both internal and external.
• Avionics.
• Solar: for power generation in photovoltaic plants, steam and gas plants, and general cogeneration plants. For steel mills, forging plants, and hydroelectric power plants.
• Nuclear: for both plants and nuclear power plants.
• Pharmaceutical, Chemical, and Food: for special applications resistant to specific temperatures, conditions, and chemical agents.

All flexible electrical conduits are available in different diameters and lengths. They have the characteristic of adapting to various bending angles and withstanding maximum bending , making it easy and smooth to install electrical cables.

The systems for the mechanical protection of cables are split into two product ranges: flexible metal-plastic or plastic systems and rigid metal systems, which in turn are classified into different families according to their manufacturing material and mechanical and thermal performance.

Euro 2000 conduits for electrical cables

As we explained earlier, flexible conduits for electrical cables, metal or plastic, either with external insulating coating or with metal core with external coatings, protect the cable cores from mechanical stresses and external agents. For any installation, cables must be provided with protective electrical conduit to protect against mechanical damage. However, the type of metal interlocking distinguishes the metal system for the mechanical protection of the cable.
Unlike our competitors – which have been producing two different interlocking profiles for more than 40 years (the single interlocking model and the double interlocking one) – we distinguished ourselves right from the start thanks to our innovative and patented reinforced interlocking .

It is a patent featuring a 45-degree slope on the sheet metal that constitutes the flexible metal conduits, which enabled us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors in terms of product quality. In fact, our flexible Conduits for electrical cables with reinforced interlocking have certified heavy compressive and tensile strength in accordance with EN IEC 61386, for versatile technical solutions that can be adapted to many specific needs. Thanks to the reinforced interlocking patent, we produce a single flexible Conduit instead of two different types.

All Euro 2000’s Conduits for electrical cables are certified to be comparable to double-interlock profile conduits and – simultaneously- similar to a single-interlock profile in terms of bending radius and cost.

To summarize, our conduits for electrical cables have two fundamental advantages:

• The competitive advantage of price: they cost as or less than other products with simple interlocking;
• The competitive advantage of technical quality: they are resistant to compression and tension and are certified as a double interlock but have – at the same time – the same flexibility and bending radius as those with just an interlock.
