At this year’s Infrarail (at the Birmingham NEC, 1st-3rd May) Legrand will exhibiting its Salamandre IP4X trunking range which meets new industry regulations concerning the containment of the most commonly used cables in the UK.
Salamandre IP4X was developed in direct response to the amendment to the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations, which stipulated the need for trunking to deliver IPXXD or IP4X protection when used with single insulated (non-sheathed) cables. In layman’s terms, this change means that the vast majority of metallic cable trunking systems no longer meet industry regulations.
Legrand achieved the required IP4X protection through the introduction of a cover strap, which connects to each coupler over the joint between the two lids, and the development of a new range of fittings that integrate fully with its existing Salamandre range’s lengths and accessories.
The company will also be exhibiting its Salamandre MGR trunking, Salamandre S1095 rail trunking, Swifts cable ladder and Swifts cable tray. In addition, Atlantic enclosures, a specially developed LUL switch, Synergy wiring accessories and Plexo industrial plugs and sockets from its wiring device division will be on show.
