Cable glands, ventilation plugs and anti-condensation accessories
Junction boxes are a type of product to combat condensation in electrical equipment, since they are sealed against water and dust, but they do not protect against condensation produced by changes in temperature and pressure, even reaching up to 1000 mbar. depression.
The reaction of condensation with the interior occurs both in contact with the cables and with the printed circuit. This is when the equipment suffers and rusts and, consequently, affects the reliability and useful life of the product, putting the entire equipment at risk, for example, a luminaire.
Thinking that making a hole in the product solves the problem is understandable, but incorrect. If we made a simple hole in the junction box we would lose the tightness and protection against water and dust, causing further damage.
At Fleximat we have pressure equalization elements or stuffing boxes and vent plugs, because they are the best protection against condensation. All this is thanks to a valve system that allows a minimum air flow between the equipment and the outside while keeping the equipment protected, with an IP-68 degree of tightness. The valve is an acrylic copolymer compound and is therefore hydrophobic and oleophobic.
Our cable glands are anti-condensation, since the air flow of your electrical equipment allows you to maintain optimal working levels.
Stuffing glands and ventilation plugs are characterized because:
- They equalize the pressure between the inside and outside of your system
- Prevent corrosion and condensation inside the equipment case
- Extend the useful life of your equipment
- High resistance to UV rays
- High resistance to chemical agents and pulls
- Free of halogens
