PMA® FLEXIBLE PROTECTION SYSTEM EMC SYSTEM

Cable protection system providing electromagnetic shielding

PMA® EMC SYSTEM ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING

The EMC product line includes screening braids(tin-plated copper and hybrid braids) and a range of patented fittings (metallic components in nickel plated aluminium or nickel plated brass). The EMC system can be combined with any type of PMA conduit to provide the mechanical protection.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

<p>ABB's PMA EMC System delivers high-quality electromagnetic shielding alongside mechanical cable protection, combining screening braids and patented termination fittings compatible with any PMA conduit type.</p>

Protection

<p>Tin-plated copper and hybrid screening braids with optical coverage greater than 90% provide high-quality electromagnetic shielding for sensitive control, sensor and signal cables against interference from power cables and converters</p>

Reliable

<p>360° braid termination delivers a high degree of safety in case of short-circuiting and maintains low transfer impedance across a frequency range from 100 kHz to 2.5 GHz including railway vehicles and automation equipment</p>

Durable

<p>Very high impact resistance even at low temperatures, with high conduit pull-out strength and integrated strain relief on select fitting types for long-term performance in demanding installations</p>

Vibration-resistant

<p>Vibration-proof conduit connection across all EMCFIX fitting types ensures reliable EMC performance and mechanical integrity in dynamic applications including railway vehicles and automation equipment</p>

Compliant

<p>Certifications include EN 45545-2 HL3 (R22 and R23), NFPA 130, UL 94 VO, IP66/IP68/IP69 per EN/IEC 60529, REACH and RoHS</p>

Easy installation

<p>Fitting construction allows pre-assembled cable looms to be mounted quickly without twisting the conduit or cables, and select fitting types are compatible with preassembled cable harness systems</p>

Versatile

<p>Compatible with any PMA conduit type and fits both fine (T) and coarse (G) conduit profiles, with fittings available for metric, PG, MIL-C5015 and other thread standards</p>
