Technical Handbook design considerations, tips and helpful information
Learn from the mistakes of others To better understand the correct function and design of cable & hose carrier systems, it is wise to also look at typical failure modes such as those pictured on the following pages. By applying the technical information and recommendations written and seen in this Technical Handbook as well as using the technical expertise and assistance of KabelSchlepp engineers such failures can be avoided. Typical Failures And Their Causes DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS - Section 11
Catastrophic Cable Failure Cables torn in two pieces
Possible Causes: cable length inside of the cable carrier system incorrect, improper type of cable, maximum cavity fill exceeded, lack of cable strain relief/ clamping.
Premature Cable Failure Cable snaking and severe cable jacket wear
Possible Causes: lack of sufficient cavity partitioning systems, incorrect type of cable, cavity fill exceeded, lack of cable strain relief/clamping, incorrect carrier for application, sloppy installation.
Catastrophic Cable Failure Severe cable “cork-screwing" and conductor failure Possible Causes: incorrect type of cable for the application, cavity fill exceeded, lack of cable strain relief/clamping.
