I know that ASCO sends a bakelite thing with their transfer switches that is supposed to act like roping in a CT cabinet.
But by the time they "rot" out, the cables are pretty much petrified into their position.brian john said:In a CT cabinet I would thing adequately bundling the conductors would be difficult due the size of the can and mandatory separation caused by the CT's>
I have never felt cable ties served this purpose as ALL cable ties dry rot over time. No matter what the package says.

Wood, yes. I'm sure the dielectric properties of saturated rope or saturated wood are modified, but maybe not enough to make a difference. In practice, you're only going to see this up to 480 volts. Nobody's roping in 13.2, for instance.e57 said:Whould you be thinking the same if it were a wooden or plastic kleat?

I'm not sure who 'we' is, but I like to puzzle on such things.iwire said:Marc,
Why would we care? :-?
Do we ask what the dielectric strength of a metal raceway is?
I suspect it is kind of low. :wink:

I think it might be something worth thinking about,
