Selection helper

1. Choose cable configuration: Single means cables in a flat configuration. Trefoil means 3 cables inside one cable cleat (Assuming that they make up a three phase system).
2. Cable outer diameter: Input the outer diameter of your cable. This will output the correct cable cleat size.
   Tolerance:

   	SmartCleat SS single	SmartCleat SS trefoil	SmartCleat+ SS single	SmartCleat+ SS trefoil	Non-metallic SmartCleat
   Tolerance:	±2mm	±1.5mm	±3mm	±2mm	Range in product name: e.g. SCLT-1xØ15-20 GFP/EPDM

   
   
3. Length of installation: Input the length of the installation. With this input the selector will output the correct quantity of products to order.
4. Short circuit(s): Input how many short circuits the cable cleats should be rated for.
5. Peak short circuit current: Use prospective max short circuit peak current as calculated for the actual part of the electrical network. If not available, calculations to determine it must be performed. As we apply no safety margin, the peak current calculation should be conservative. With this input the selector will recommend a safe installation distance and check that the cleat will be able to restrain the cables in a short circuit event.
6. Distance C-C between cables: Input the center-center distance between cables (not relevant for trefoil configuration as the distance will be equal to the cable diameter). This input together with the peak short circuit current is used to calculate the electromechanical force.
7. Install cable cleat on: Choose the cable ladder or support channel that the cables will be installed on. This will output the correct adapter needed to install the cable cleats on the support. Please contact us for a solution if you need to install on products not listed.
8. Cable ladder width: Will output the correct exit plate to order (recommended in both ends of cable run). See the illustration in the result to see if the width choosen is wide enough to support the cables. Exit plate is not required when installing on channels, instead install 3 channels at the start and end of the installation with 150mm distance (see illustation).
9. Show other compatible systems: Øglænd System are unique in testing our cable cleats together with our recommended cable management support as a complete system. The recommendations shown are based on this full system approach, tested, calculated and certified according to the international IEC 61914: 2021 standard and based on the highest inputs given. By clicking on the “show other compatible systems” we also include in the result combinations where the cleat and support are fully compatible and list the relevant parts necessary for ordering.
10. Vertical installation: Vertical and horizontal installations must be considered separately. I.e., if a project consists of both horizontal and vertical installations, two separate cleat selections should be done – one for horizontal and one for vertical runs. SmartCleat SS can be provided with 3, 6 and 9mm thick liners. However, in the SmartCleat SS selection for vertical installations only 3 and 6mm liners are considered.
11. Fault type: There can be a short circuit between two of the three conductors in a three-phase system (third conductor not involved). Or you can have a one-phase circuit (two conductors), and a short circuit between these two conductors. If the prospective max 2-P peak current is larger than 87% of the prospective max 3-P peak curent, or if the sytem is a single phase system, then choose 2-P – otherwise choose 3-P.

Which cable cleat should I choose? This depends on the installation and project requirements. Weight on the support also needs to be considered and is not covered in this selector. SmartCleat in SS is usually recommended for cable diameters between 25-99mm. For bigger cables SmartCleat+ is recommended. SmartCleat+ are less space efficient than normal SmartCleats, but are easier to install on cables that are bigger and more rigid. Mekano 100-2T channels are usually recommended as support. For a full fibreglass(FRP) installation our Non-metallic SmartCleats are recommended together with our FOE100 or FOE150 cable ladder in FRP material. For bigger cable sizes FSS support channels in FRP material can offer higher loading capacity.

Disclaimer: Øglænd cleats were tested for resistance to electromechanical forces according to IEC 61914:2021. Tests were performed for a fault duration of approximately 110ms, with a class 2 single core 400mm² copper cable. These parameters are standard and as otherwise defined in IEC 61914:2021. There are other variable factors which can affect the outcome of such short circuit tests however, including: fault duration, softness of cable outer sheath and conductor material. These variable factors cannot be accounted for using this calculating tool. Our calculator for cleat selection is using equations provided in IEC 61914:2021 for calculating the forces a cable cleat may be subjected to during a short circuit. The derivation of equations assume that the cables are rigid and do not move in the test. Due to the limited user inputs, the number of factors that may need to be accounted for, and the assumptions made in the IEC 61914:2021 standard, no formal warranty is given concerning the accuracy of the recommendations provided in the cleat selector. The cleat selector is intended to be used by persons with adequate technical knowledge, and as a guidance tool for preliminary selection of cable cleats only. In all circumstances it remains the user’s responsibility to ensure that any product selected is suitable for its technical requirements and will work in relation to the user’s specific application. Please don’t hesitate to contact our engineering team, to assist with your specific requirements, or if you have requirements outside the calculator scope.
