The order was secured by Ellis\u2019 Australian distributor, IPD Industrial Products, which worked closely with the project\u2019s main contractor, DIONA to secure the necessary product approval for Colossus from Ausgrid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe evidence of how successful an innovation Colossus is proving to be can be garnered from the fact Ausgrid approved what is very much a new product for installation in such an important power distribution project,\u201d continued Tony.<\/p>\n<p>Manufactured from 316L stainless steel and LSF Zero Halogen polymer, Colossus has been short circuit tested to a level of 104kA peak, and is aimed principally at the transmission and distribution, and utility markets. The full range comprises 14 sizes, which are suitable for cables ranging from 24mm diameter through to 170mm. While for all cables above 69mm, the option of a saddle version of Colossus delivers the flexibility for an extra 100mm of protection to both sides of the clamp.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major benefits of Colossus, is that its base can be secured directly to the structure prior to cable installation, meaning cables can be laid directly on to it and the over strap installed separately.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ellispatents.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.ellispatents.co.uk<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cable cleat designed to secure power cables in trefoil formation has won cable cleat manufacturer, Ellis a major order from Australian power provider, Ausgrid.
