How to Install the AMC Series Metal Clad Cable Gland
This guide provides detailed instructions for the safe and proper installation of the ABB AMC series metal clad cable glands. It covers cable preparation, gland mounting to an enclosure, and achieving an optimal seal. WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect power before installation.
Tools needed:
Wrench, Cable preparation tools
Supplies needed:
AMC Series Metal Clad Cable Gland, Electrical enclosure, Metal clad cable, Locknut (if installing into a non-threaded hole)
- Select and Prepare Cable
Select the correct AMC cable gland model (e.g., AMC-0501) based on your enclosure and cable specifications. Determine the required working length of the cable inside the enclosure. Prepare the cable by exposing the appropriate length of armor, referring to the 'STRIP LENGTH L' value in the provided table for your specific cable gland model.
- Install Cable Gland to Enclosure
Install the cable gland into the enclosure. If using a threaded hole, screw the gland in. If using a non-threaded hole, secure it with a locknut. Hand-tighten the locknut, then tighten it an additional 1/4 turn using an appropriate wrench.
- Feed Cable Through Gland
If the conductor bundle is too large, remove the armor stop from the cable gland. Feed the prepared cable through the installed cable gland. Push the cable until its armor firmly contacts the armor stop or the body of the gland.
- Tighten Gland Nut for Seal
Tighten the gland nut to the torque specified in the table for your cable gland model, or until an appropriate seal is achieved. Ensure the sealing ring evenly seals around the cable's outer jacket. Keep the cable centered during tightening to ensure an optimal and secure seal.
