Glanding SWA inside an enclosure

[PrinceofDarkness]

Don't challenge my memory, BAS dear. That photo that you published showed a very generously sized enclosure - well able to accept quite a few glands of any type due to its wall thickness and construction. The DIN rail took up a very small space by comparison.

I invite you to show that photo again - if you dare........

'Electonicsuk', I'd gladly provide a link to an enclosure with a DIN rail, but the thing is I just don't know how to cut and paste or provide anything other than a simple link which I have to type out laboriously in longhand.

I don't know if you think you're being quaint, with laments like that and your persistent claims that you have no idea what emoticons or smilies are for, but you aren't - you're being pathetic.

Good at IT? Knowing that if you highlight a block of text and hit CTRL-C you will copy it and then CTRL-V will paste it is not being good at IT, it's the IT equivalent of knowing how to tie your own shoelaces.

Almost unbounded electrical knowledge, an IT wiz kid, why you are almost a true polymath; you must have spent so long devoting yourself to your scholarly studies. Sadly it has been at the neglect of your tact and manners.

I am intrigued (and prob cant spell). Why do you want to know of such an enclosure?

It's not an enclosure I need, it's a way of glanding SWA inside one, which is why I wondered if there were any suitable brackets on the market.

I want to bring SWA into an enclosure through a duct which will be running into the enclosure itself:

honeylamb: I'm quite sure that I've never claimed to have no knowledge of emoticons etc. I partly understand their meaning and fully understand their use by lazy people. However, they're nothing but a return to primitive cave drawings as far as I'm concerned. They're certainly no substitute for the rich and colourful plain English language.

OK - I won't challenge your memory.

Instead I'll challenge your ability to understand something which I have clearly articulated several times.

Can you get, e.g. DIN rail mount, brackets to allow a SWA gland to be fixed within an enclosure?

I don't know - does it provide me with a solution which allows me to mount a SWA gland, or otherwise properly terminate the armour, entirely within the confines of the enclosure?

And in the example you're thinking of what I showed was an enclosure with a DIN rail in it - nothing though which showed, or could be used for, glanding SWA inside the enclosure.

And in other photos of an enclosure I used, although there's no DIN rail in it, there could have been. There are also SWA cables glanded to the enclosure, but not inside it, which is what I was

Gary and Adam, with their suggestions of bending a piece of metal and fixing it to the backplate, and ColJack with his idea of lashing the cable to a DIN rail, showed that they got it, so it doesn't seem as if my request wasn't easy for others to understand.

Either you really do have a problem grasping simple concepts or you are being deliberately obtuse.

Is that tactful enough for you?

 

[plugwash]

does it actually need to be din rail mount.

It seems the simple soloution is to get a bit of metal angle and drill one or more holes in it, then screw it in place.

 

[PrinceofDarkness]

BAS, if the SWA runs through ducting directly into an enclosure, then a simple bango and fly-lead fitted to the gland, will do. Anything else would be rather fussy.

It's a very strange thing to fit a gland within an enclosure. But if you want to do it that way, I'll gladly post to you, FOC, an angled galvanised bracket with a 20 or 25mm hole (designed for external support of glands).

@Electrifying - BAS is saying "Eat Sh*t And Die".

Thanks for proving my point

Lucia, with your simpering, sub-Tennessee Williams demeanour, and your attitudes and platitudes you are not being quaint, you are not being twee, you are not being erudite, you are not being a shining example of the use of rich and colourful English.

You are being a functionally illiterate ****.

 

[PrinceofDarkness]

BAS, I omitted to say that I did misunderstand your O/P, for which I now apologise.

I just wasn't in the frame of mind to realise that someone might want to gland a cable within the safe housing of an enclosure. But, never mind, my apology still stands.

I'm sensing a lot of negative waves from you towards Lucia, why is that?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

No - and I never said it did:

Can you get, e.g. DIN rail mount, brackets.....

It seems the simple soloution is to get a bit of metal angle and drill one or more holes in it, then screw it in place.

Yup.

Not as simple as getting something already made for the purpose, but simple enough for me to cope with.

BAS, if the SWA runs through ducting directly into an enclosure, then a simple bango and fly-lead fitted to the gland, will do. Anything else would be rather fussy.

I didn't want to leave the gland just dangling about.

It's a very strange thing to fit a gland within an enclosure.

Can't think of any other way (apart from an earth clamp, or a Jubilee clip) of getting a good contact onto the armour. And those two alternatives seem rather tacky to me.

I find his deliberately annoying persona annoying, not amusing, and unlike the window-lickers on the Screwloose forum I have no intention of playing along with it.

 

[PrinceofDarkness]

I think that BAS feels threatened by my appearance on this forum going by hisrecent abuse. I'm a ghost from his past. I hope that he'll get over it, because I really don't mean him (or any other member) any harm. I'm just interested in talking commonsense, safe electrics. That's all.
