Equipment Enclosure penetration for instrumentation cables

[Designer69]

We have large air compressors that we want to install vibration sensors on the motors. These compressors are housed inside an equipment enclosure kind of like this



want to make a penetration thru the enclosure to run the instrumentation cables to route them to a transmitter, mounted on the enclosure outside.

What's the proper way to make the penetration/ route cables thru? (A JB outside the penetration or a cable seal kit or nothing at all?)

Maybe you've done this b4
Thank you

For instrumentation cables not run in conduit, I just use cable glands with a seal. Just make sure the place you pass through is not a removable panel. On those type of packaged compressors, most of them are removable. you may need to penetrate at the "plinth", the base channel.

Thanks Jraef. That makes sense, wouldn't want to pass thru removable door/panel then you can't open it. Do they make those glands with seal for Armored Instrument Cable?
