Do you operate or build air insulated substations, AIS, or do you deliver electrical enclosures or field cabinets to them? Then you probably recognize the typical challenge: Many cables to route and seal, but hardly any space. A good idea is to standardize with Roxtec multi-cable seals instead of using traditional cable glands.
Roxtec mechanical cable and pipe seals are versatile, area efficient and openable. The sealing modules in the system adapt to cables and pipes of different sizes and you can safely seal dozens of services in one single opening in a wall, floor or cabinet or enclosure – and still be able to accommodate additions. This simplifies for cabinet manufacturers, design engineers and electrical installers to handle varying cable dimensions, high cable density, late changes and future upgrades. Another advantage is that the entire installation can be done from the inside of the cabinet. This is very beneficial since it can sometimes be impossible to do it from the outside.

Certified protection against multiple hazards
Another good reason for specifying Roxtec seals is the proven multi-hazard protection. You secure bonding and grounding for protection against cable-borne EMI, electromagnetic interference, while ensuring tightness to prevent water and dust ingress in field cabinets for circuit breakers and other vital equipment. The thing is that you can use Roxtec seals also for outer walls of shelters as well as for indoor enclosures with control equipment. Our seals contribute to electrical safety and protect your air insulated substation also against fire, corrosion and pests, including snakes and rodents.
Efficiency from factory to power transmission
With Roxtec as a standard penetration seal for large power cables, small signal cables, metal pipes, plastic pipes and all kinds of conduits, all project partners gain peace of mind. Manufacturers of cabinets, enclosures or prefabricated modular buildings can install our safety system already at the factory and deliver dry, protected parts with openable seals for plug-and play. Construction and installation teams can save space and time. And owners and operators avoid the risk of outages.
