CEE Norm U.K Ltd

Engineers working on a flagship project for Scottish Water have installed over 400 top of the range electrical enclosures and junction boxes from Hensel.

Enclosures aboard ships or mounted in offshore installations can face extreme environmental conditions including high temperature, high humidity, shock, vibration, and exposure to corrosive seawater. CEE Norm announces an extension to the Hensel range of Enycase enclosures, with DK cable junction boxes now DNV approved for marine and offshore applications.

A furniture business in Germany is reaping the financial benefits of 266kW of solar power following the installation of 7200m2 of solar panels. Key to the success of the installation are Hensel ENYSUN type-tested distribution boards and modular, pre-wired photovoltaic junction boxes – products distributed exclusively in the UK by Telford-based electrical specialist CEE Norm.

For applications where maintaining functional integrity in the event of fire is vital, CEE Norm now offers an expanded range Hensel DK cable junction boxes. In addition to the existing sheet steel, power coated junction boxes, the range now includes Duraplastic enclosures. All models feature connecting terminals made from ceramic to offer resistance to high temperatures, with versions providing from 30 minutes up to 90 minutes of fire protection.

CEE Norm has expanded its range of plugs and sockets with a full suite of products designed for military applications. The products are offered in military style ‘green’ (RAL 6031-FP), and cover currents from 16A to 125A in a variety of voltages. Standard earth pin positions prevent the possibility of connecting items of different voltages or frequencies by mistake.

The roof of Hall 10 of the Frankfurt Messe fairground is now home to a solar power plant – an innovative, communally operated project that will meet the electricity needs of over 150 homes. Key to the success of the installation are Hensel ENYSUN type-tested distribution boards and modular, pre-wired photovoltaic junction boxes – products distributed exclusively in the UK by Telford-based electrical specialist CEE Norm.

Instead of carrying around four different crimping tools, the Haupa multi-function pliers from CEE Norm provide a single tool with a patented rapid change system that allows dies to be quickly changed without the need for any tools. The ability to replace a multitude of tools with the single Haupa tool gives enormous space and weight savings in any tool bag.

CEE Norm can meet the needs of enclosures for hazardous areas with Hensel’s EX certified range of cable junction boxes, terminal boxes and empty boxes. The DK series enclosures are suitable for use in Zone 2 and Zone 22 hazardous areas as defined by ATEX where the presence of dust or gas creates the potential for explosion and where any sources of ignition must be eliminated.

They may be conceptually simple, but transformer specification holds a few pitfalls for the unwary. James Mousley of CEE Norm looks at some of the specification considerations. Ask 100 people for their list of the ten most important electrical inventions, and I’d wager you’d get a broadly similar list. Doubtless television would be in there. Probably the telephone and radio, too. The more component savvy might offer up the thermionic valve. How many, though, would put the transformer on their list. Most likely, even if they acknowledge the work of Michael Faraday and his experiments on induction between coils of the wire in the 1830s, the transformer itself will be a sad omission from the list of greats. And yet, without it, the world today would be a very different place.

CEE Norm screw terminal plugs and sockets are now available with a unique multi-grip cable gland that adapts effortlessly to a wide range of different cable diameters with affecting the closure efficiency or capacity for strain relief. The plugs and sockets are rated for 16A up to 125A, and the multi-grip gland will accordingly accommodate cable diameters from 8mm up to 30mm.
