How to Install the AMC Series Metal Clad Cable Gland
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the proper installation of the ABB AMC Series Metal Clad Cable Gland, ensuring a secure and sealed connection for metal clad cables to an enclosure.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Cable strippers, Wrench, Torque wrench
Supplies needed:
AMC Series Metal Clad Cable Gland (e.g., AMC-3001), Metal clad cable, Enclosure, Locknut (if required)
- Prepare the Cable and Select Gland
WARNING: RISK OF SHOCK, DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE INSTALLATION. Select the appropriate AMC series cable gland that matches your enclosure and cable type. Determine the required working length of the cable inside the enclosure. Prepare the cable by exposing the appropriate length of armor, referring to the 'L' dimension in the provided table for your specific gland model.
- Install Cable Gland to Enclosure
Install the cable gland into the enclosure. This can be done either by threading it directly into a threaded hole or by using a locknut. If using a locknut, hand-tighten it first, then further tighten it by an additional 1/4 turn using an appropriate wrench.
- Feed Cable Through Gland
If the conductor bundle is too large, the armor stop may need to be removed before this step. Carefully feed the prepared metal clad cable through the cable gland. Push the cable until its armor makes firm contact with the armor stop or the body of the gland.
- Tighten Gland Nut for Seal
Tighten the gland nut to the specified torque value found in the product table for your specific AMC gland model, or until an appropriate seal is achieved. Ensure the sealing ring seals evenly around the cable’s outer jacket and that the cable remains as centered as possible within the gland to obtain an optimal and secure seal.
