Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the Ecoline P3 IP68 quick connection system, emphasizing its high protection degree, ease of installation, and flexibility. It is Swiss-made and designed for environments requiring stringent protection against water and dust.
Specifications: The system includes components such as an IP68 protected end piece and a connecting box for 3x2.5mm2 cables. The connecting box features a protection degree of IP66/IP68, allowing it to withstand powerful water jets and submersion. It supports direct load connections without stripping cable insulation and includes a silicone-sealed cover.
Applications: The system is suitable for use in tunnels, construction sites, industrial washing plants, and outdoor events. Its robust design makes it ideal for environments with high moisture or dust levels.
Installation Procedure: The connecting box can be pre-wired for efficiency. Installation involves placing the cable gland, cutting the cable to length, and securing it with clamping screws. The system uses a lever mechanism for tool-free connection, ensuring quick and secure installation.
Technical Data: The flat cable is available in PVC and halogen-free versions, with dimensions of 16.5x6mm and a weight of 185g/m. It supports a test voltage of 4kV/50Hz and a rated voltage of 0.6/1kV. The connecting box is made of halogen-free plastic and corrosion-resistant steel, with a test current of 24A and a rated voltage of 690V.
Accessories: The document lists various accessories, including cable end pieces, clamps, shears, insulating tape, and cable glands, all designed to complement the Ecoline P3 system.
Case Study: The Gotthard base tunnel project in Switzerland utilized the Ecoline P3 system for temporary lighting during construction. The system's quick installation and high protection degree were crucial in the challenging tunnel environment.
