Situation

  • Challenge: A customer using a mobile generator needed short circuit protection for cables from the generator to a location approximately 20m away.

  • The solution needed to provide high short-circuit protection but also be easily transportable.

Solution

  • Ellis developed a solution using Emperor cleats and bespoke steelwork.

  • The steelwork was designed to be lightweight and easily assembled.

  • Steelwork maintained structural integrity for cable restraint during a short circuit.

  • Ellis’s technical team used 3D CAD modelling for design.

  • The design was optimised using FEA software and hand calculations.

  • Final design drawings were then used to manufacture the structures in-house.
