"The 3 Most Common Mistakes In Electrical Installations"

There are many ways to wire an electrical installation. As always in life if you know what to do or not to do, we are better on.

Mistake 1: It has to be Pipe and Wire to be Safe and Protected

Solution:  There is no need for conduit, with the right cable choice the installation will still be environmental resistant and offers time and cost savings. NOBEL Service Supply helps their customers in many ways to find solutions like open wiring/exposed run installations, where environmental and crush impact resistant cables are put in a cable tray. By their special composition and secured by the appropriate UL tests and approvals, specialty thermoset or thermoplastic insulated cables are brought to use, which withstand environmental influences like: oils, flame, impact, wash downs and many more. By combining tray approved  cable with cable trays the overall electrical installation costs can be reduced up to 47%.

Mistake 2: Hard Wiring

Still in the year 2008 most factories, warehouses and others are build under the assumption that the installation stays in place and function forever. Hence, hard wiring is the predominant installation method.  Circumstances change on the spot and rewiring takes highly skilled and costly operations.

Solution: Plug and play is a key term inherited from the computer industry and it can also come into play at electrical installations. NOBEL Service Supply with their contract partners makes custom fit cable assemblies available and by those, brining additional flexibility for a change of machine placement  into the offering. Plug and play, so far is mainly used in the automotive industry and allows for fast and precise maintenance and retooling. But besides automotive assembly lines there are many more possibilities where cable assemblies provide a precise and fool prove machine installation and maintenance.  Due to the wide variety of cable assemblies, the best is to talk to get in touch with one of our specialists: contact@NOBELservicesupply.com.

Mistake 3: Not Passing The UL Inspection By The Wrong Cable Choice

“Why did I not pass, all cables have the UL marking.” We often been confronted with such statement and called for help.  “Can’t you just help us to convince the UL inspector that the cables used are good”. No, we cannot, because the UL marking per se does not approve the cable for every instance. Mostly those problems occur when cables without TC-ER, CMP, TC  approval are pulled in a cable tray. 

Solution: In the new NOBEL Catalog, section 10.2, Lecture 2 of Dr. Nobel, a great overview of all cable categories in respect of NEC class and referring UL approval is put on the readers hands. Choosing the right UL marking for a cable approved for cable tray system  now goes at ease. To pass the referring UL test, cables have to pass test for mechanical impact and flame resistant as a metal clad armored or conduit protected cable and by the UL approval of TC-ER for example prove no need for an additional mechanical protection.
