Data centre cable restraint / Cable cleat spacing and short-circuit evidence
A useful cable-restraint comparison keeps the current quantity, measured result, spacing and complete test assembly together. A headline kA value or a general IEC 61914 reference does not describe all the conditions needed for project selection.
Identify the quantity behind the current value
Peak current and RMS current are different quantities. The reports in our register record phase values, current quantities and measured durations in their test documentation. Preserve the quantity and phase when quoting a number, and check what the project engineer’s specification actually requires.
A test-programme target is different from a measured result. Read the applicable result row with its oscillogram, duration, specimen and observation rather than copying a number from a heading or a summary alone.
Treat spacing as a configuration condition
Fixed-cleat centres appear in the test programmes because the restraint arrangement matters. Results for different centres, wrap counts or support rigs are not interchangeable. The report register contains both 300 mm and 600 mm arrangements; these are descriptions of the recorded rigs, not a spacing recommendation for every installation.
Confirm the proposed restraint centres against the matching product, cable formation, band and clip, wrap, support, liner or bracket and installation procedure. A different ladder, bracket or cable arrangement needs its own evidence review.
Read the clause and verdict with the result
The existing report notes distinguish results under clauses 9.5.2 and 9.5.3. Do not describe one clause result as though it establishes the other. The report-specific notes also identify differences between bracket and direct-to-rung arrangements and between brochure labels and printed report objects.
For example, the register flags that PDL-26.160.04 prints D70109 for its bracket rig while B380 uses D70309. That is a configuration question to confirm, not a label to silently replace. The notes retain original PDFs so the project team can inspect the test programme, result tables, photographs and issuer conclusions.
Build a reviewable evidence package
- Start with the project cable and fault-duty specification.
- Identify the exact proposed assembly and restraint spacing.
- Locate the complete report and the matching object or rig.
- Keep measured current, phase, duration, clause and verdict together.
- Record any unresolved configuration difference before procurement.
Use the technical report register to open the original evidence. Our calculator and product selector can help organise inputs, with final suitability reviewed against the project engineer’s requirements. Include the report reference and open questions when requesting configuration confirmation.
Source documents and project support
