In current times, safety and reliability is what counts not only in a product, but also in business conduct. This becomes a competitive advantage and a license to function well to survive in the global market. When safety from induced loads in offshore installation, security in cable installation for sub-sea platform, ignition prevention, oceanic hazards, passive fire protection and other security concerns comes in picture for offshore and sub-sea cable applications, quality is the core climax of investment for major marine, oceanographic and offshore projects. It has now become a sensitive concern of risk management. This blog uncovers the importance of Copper Terminals for cable protection in offshore and sub-sea applications. It is a complete guide to the features and attributes one looks for when shop for an apt solution for cable lugs. Furthermore, it brings out the transformation which crimping lugs have bought in the sub-sea, oceanographic and offshore cabling system.
When we talk about offshore or sub-sea security system, cable protection is the first thing that strikes a sincere concern for safety of assets and human life. Let’s first get ourselves into the cable safety requirements in offshore platform. The cable protection needs a strong, thin wall insulation with proper jacketing of cables. The offshore cable gland application accounts for a compact and light weight copper terminal that also has a mechanical reliability and thermal stability to stay rough & tough in offshore hazard. crimping lugs provide an apt solution for low smoke and zero halogen properties that controls the corrosive and toxic gasses. With continuous research and development in cable gland technologies, BICC brings about effective innovation in sub-sea cable connectors and copper terminals. These include Non melting insulation technology, optimized cable routing, thin wall technology and high tech cable harnessing for the typical offshore platform.
Be it salt corrosion, a hydrostatic pressure on cable, acid abrasion or extreme temperature, copper terminals help operate the offshore and sub-sea equipment with electrical security of cables in harsh condition and uncertain climatic reaction. Customized copper terminals has an extensive application in oil and gas, petroleum, mines and quarries, renewable energy, transportation, shipping, marine, water works and power plant where electrical safety is at the core concern to save the assets, cost and among all the human life from destruction. The marine, sub-sea and offshore operations where electronic instruments need high durability and reliability has to focus on strict cable security as the rework of asset destroyed due to electrical misconduct can also prove to be a costly affair. copper terminals take a step ahead in transforming the offshore machineries into highly productive, safe and reliable operation.
When Material Melds steal the show!
What type of material meld to be used for a specific application is also at the prima facie to make any type of electrical installation a complete success. BICC has a team of experts in material science that has experience to grab the exact need of the client and going into extreme depth of the electrical aspects from all the angles, they cater to the offshore and sub-sea cable application with the right choice of material melds. This kind of effective probing makes it possible to bring out high performance cable connection from the harsh environment, corrosion condition, extremes of offshore and sub-sea application. In the majority of cases Copper is always a first choice when it comes to selecting a good conductor for electrical cabling system.
An Assortment Of Copper Terminals!
copper terminals are rich in features with an inspection hole equipped with full insertion of copper conductor into the lugs. The barrel length and thickness is designed to get a precise and smooth positioning of dies at the time of crimping operation. When the cable insertion is to be tackled for a straight entry and the conductor to be inserted completely, Copper Terminal SE range offers an apt solution for sub sea and offshore applications. This manufactured under the standards of IEC 61238-1 that is manufactured using a seamless copper tube that falls under best quality material as per BS EN 12449:2012. While the ICC Copper Terminal BM range offers cable insertion handled smoothly for the opening of the conductor. The manufacturing of copper terminals is in compliance with IEC 61238-1 international quality standards.
