The protection measures for mechanical cables mainly include the following aspects:
Mechanical damage protection:
Set up warning signs around the construction site to remind personnel to pay attention to the location and existence of the cable.
Set up fences or warning lines around the cable to prevent mechanical equipment from entering.
Bury protective pipes near the cable to protect the cable from mechanical pressure.
Perform regular inspections on the cable to detect potential mechanical damage in time.
Waterproof measures:
Set up sealing devices at the end of the cable to prevent moisture from penetrating from the end of the cable.
Set up rain protection facilities at the end of the cable to prevent rainwater from directly contacting the cable.
Perform leakage detection on buried cables to detect moisture infiltration in time.
Fire prevention measures:
Set up firewalls around the cable to prevent external fires from spreading to the cable area.
Set up fire prevention facilities at the end of the cable to prevent the fire from spreading to the inside of the cable in the event of a fire.
Carry out flame retardant treatment on the cable to improve its ability to resist fire.
Chemical corrosion protection:
Choose cable materials that are chemically resistant.
Add a protective layer to cables in chemically corrosive environments.
Protection measures for special environments:
Reinforced plastic spiral ties are used to group cables together to prevent them from getting stuck and provide lightweight mechanical protection.
Braided sleeves, such as flexible braids of polyamide fibers, protect cables from heat and abrasion.
Plastic conduits and metal conduits provide different levels of mechanical protection and fire resistance. Choose the appropriate conduit type according to your needs.
Cable troughs are also a way to provide mechanical and environmental protection for cables. They can be made of plastic, metal or concrete and are large enough to provide protection for many different cables and circuits.
