Electric Mobility & Automotive
The proactivity in offering new products and solutions for electric mobility necessitates state-of-the-art solutions for cable management, the cables themselves being in most cases with connectors. The cable entry itself into the station is a weak point for system reliability, especially considering the high degree of protection the stations offer. Therefore, custom solutions are available for in-place wiring or multi-range cable grommets are available to ensure power cable entry, providing a high degree of protection.
The PDP, DES, and OSF series are best for these applications, ensuring the application of single or multiple cables with diameters up to 65 mm.DetasUltra cable routing systems protect cables from the harsh weather, mechanical wear and tear, and potential damage caused by external factors. Cables carrying power from the main electrical system to the charging station must be well organized to reduce the risk of tangles, reduce wear and tear, and maintain operational efficiency. Effective cable management also reduces the risks of failure.
Electrical cables carrying high currents can be dangerous if not properly protected. Cable entry systems ensure that there is no accidental access to cables, preventing potential short circuits, shock or fire.
Cable routing facilitates inspection, maintenance, and replacement operations. In case of breakdowns or upgrades, technicians can easily access cables without having to dismantle large portions of the infrastructure.
Main applications for cable management in the electric mobility industry:
- In AC 2x22 kW floor-standing AC charging stations, cable entry systems are used for cable entry, which can be at the bottom or rear of the station.
- High-power DC charging stations not only use cable entry systems for high-section power cables, but also to connect Ethernet cables or other types of connectors.
- Wiring between the battery and the electric motor. In view of the high amount of current, the grommet ensures proper thermal management, fluidic and strain relief protection.
- In the case of multiple batteries, the cables pass through different sections of the bus frame that are secured by our grommets.
- In the case of charging via pantographs, the cables must pass through the vehicle charging infrastructure. To ensure mechanical wear and tear and protection from external agents, cable grommet systems are essential.
- etasUltra MS Series Shielding Clamps are installed inside charging systems cabinets to shield signal cables and connect them directly to ground. This prevents harmful noise emissions to the electronics inside the stations.
