Harnessflex Specialist Conduit Systems Protect System Integrity On Mobile Generators

The use of Harnessflex specialist conduit systems to protect electrical circuit integrity on mobile generator sets can offer many benefits, not least of which are enhanced reliability and operational dependability.

Self-contained generator sets are often brought in as emergency back up to a mains power supply and as such need to be totally reliable. There use is often at key locations such as hospitals, control centres, ports, rail hubs, food storage etc., in fact anywhere the power supply is critical.

Because of their design they are inherently susceptible to prevailing weather conditions, being outside through the extremities of the seasons subjected to frosts, condensation, heavy rain, snow, ice and extreme temperatures. To ensure the reliability of the mobile units a cost-effective, specialist conduit system protecting the susceptible and vulnerable cabling can quickly pay handsome dividends.

"No plant hire company wants a fault developing on the electrical control system of a mobile generator," explained Bob Rudd of Harnessflex, "especially when it is so easy to prevent such an occurrence.

"By simply specking up the control electrics on the generator and protecting them with an enclosed system it is possible not only to ensure its reliability, but also to eliminate costly and tedious fault finding procedures necessary to locate the problem causing the generator to fail.

When turnaround times are limited on capital equipment, plant hire companies want to know that the units they hire out are up to the job. There is nothing worse than supply an emergency unit that fails and lets a customer down. The probability of retaining that customer is extremely slim."

Combing a full range of fittings and connectors the Harnessflex range offers full electrical system integrity protecting any vulnerable part of the electrical harness affording stability and support for the system. Its use ensures that there are no vulnerable connectors exposed to the elements, which could so easily cause malfunction and failure of the generator, compromising the mains electrical supply.
