IDENTIFYING electrical wires and cables, components, circuit breaker boxes, patch panels or terminal blocks can be quite a time-consuming job that does not make the most of an electrical installer’s skills and expertise. However, well-identifiedwires and circuits greatly increase the speed of any electrical follow-up job. “That is why Brady offers topmarket printers that can identify any electrical wire, cable, component or circuit breaker box inmere minutes, greatly increasing productivity”, says Cindy van den Bremt, product manager, portable systems at Brady. Fast and productive Brady portable printers have been developedwith electrical, datacomand telecom installers inmind.The BMP21-PLUS, BMP41, BMP51 and BMP71 are all designed to enable professionals to iden- tify any wire and component faster, easier andwith confidence.

ELQUIP Solutions’managing director, Mike Cronin, says the Flexicon anti-static flexible conduit systemprovides users with“flexibility and ease of operation”. “The LTPAS and LTPPUAS flexible conduits can be used to avoid electrostatic charge build-up on installed equipment, including the surface of the conduit. This issue is particularly prevalent when working in hazardous areas. Both systems comply with Clause 7.4.2 of EN600079-0, which refers to the avoidance of a build-up of electrostatic charge on Group I or Group II electrical equipment,”explains Cronin. Available in sizes from 16 mm to 63 mm, this new offering is compatible with all liquid tight fittings including the new EXD flameproof barrier glands. The LTPAS liquid tight flexible conduit system is PVC-coated, with a special anti-static additive and has high compression strength of up to 400 kg and a high tensile strength of up to 130 kg. Available with IP ratings up to IP68 and IP69K, the LTPAS can withstand tempera- tures from -20 °C to 105 °C. The LTPPUAS liquid tight flexible conduit system is polyurethane-coated with a special anti-static additive, offering high abrasion re- sistance and superior protection for demand- ing environments. Available with IP ratings of up to IP68 and IP69K, the cable protection system can with- stand temperatures from - 40 °C to 80 °C. “Introducing a specialised anti-static product to the local market means that we can support customers who are working in hazardous and challenging environments,”says Cronin.
