Cable Gland Earthing
Cable Gland Earthing
(OP)
Does anyone know what the IEC requirements are concerning the use of earthing tags on cable glands. Are they to be used in non-metallic enclosures or on medium and high voltage cables entering panels? Do they have to be used at all?






RE: Cable Gland Earthing
IEC60364 (BS7671 Requirements For Electrical Installations) requires that the metallic sheaths of cables are earthed, brass gland tags are the usual means of achieving this and ensuring that cable sheaths / armours are solidly earthed.
IEC364 does not apply to medium voltage.
Are you in the UK ?
