SPONSORS WHAT’S NEW Rittal air circuit‐breaker supporting system R
ittal, the leading global provider of industrial enclosures, power distribution, climate control and IT infrastructure, has
developed a new busbar supporting system for air circuit‐breakers. The system has been developed to enable 4 x 120 mm x 10 mm coppers to be secured safely to the top and bottom of the air circuit‐breaker. It has been carefully designed to ensure ease of use, maxiumum convenience and faster fitting for system integrators. The support, which is suitable for 600 and 800mm wide enclosures, is quick to install within Rittal’s Ri4Power modular switchgear systems, speeding up the time needed for installing air
circuit‐breakers in Ri4Power. With only part number to order it simplies the ordering process and reduces stocking levels for the panel builder. Installation instructions are straightforward
and there is clear guidance on the spacing of the support enabling verification up to 100 kA Icw for one second. The new system has been tested in line with
IEC 61439 and can be used with all leading circuit‐breaker manufacturers’ products up to 4000 amps. Further information at and

‘Game changer’ Wire Basket stars in Voltimum video
to a new product review video that demonstrates its speed and ease of installation. Voltimum Editor Dan Tovey and
M
electrical contractor Kyle Gamble discuss the features and benefits of the innovative cable management system, outlining its advantages during the video, filmed at Bemco Electrical Wholesalers in London. Introducing the lightweight
system, Dan asks: “Have we found a game changer in this cable management?” Kyle’s view: “Any product that improves
efficiency on site, make a job easier and an installation quicker has real value to an electrical contractor.” The video highlights just how Fast‐ Coupling Wire Basket can be installed within four seconds; pre‐fabricated couplers allow basket lengths to simply and quickly click together with no requirement for tools or screws/bolts. This quick‐fit approach appealed to Kyle, who said: “Because it is push and click it is a lot less labour intensive. If you are doing a big warehouse project or an office refit you can save a lot of time by using this system…you don’t need to worry about screwing or bolting the two lengths together. “The couplers are quite different to the
traditional way of joining the basket together. There is a bit of a knack to it but once you get the knack you will fly through installations. The manufacturer has really thought about the installation process. Using these couplers will really speed it up. I like the ripples within the cable basket,” added Kyle.
The couplers also deliver excellent
earth continuity throughout the system, according to Kyle, and the rippled wire design of Wire Basket gives the system great flex resistance and allows it to hold more load as well as helping cables glide over basket cross beams during installation. Suitable for industrial, commercial,
renewable energy and transportation installations, Wire Basket has been specifically designed to be quick and easy to assemble thanks to its integral push‐fit coupler which connects the baskets and gives the system strength and rigidity. The strong, lightweight baskets have great structural stability thanks to the unique rippled wire construction and are corrosion resistant, making them suitable for use in harsh environments. Two heights are available, 65mm and 105mm. Watch the Wire Basket video at

Safeguard’s Drybase Flex provides sheet barrier to damp
rybase Flex Membrane from Safeguard is the latest product in the
company’s Drybase Damp‐Proof Coatings range and is designed for direct application to floors and walls that have been affected by dampness and salt contamination; and when it is not possible to stop the damp at its source. Safeguard’s Drybase Damp‐
Proof Coatings range offers a wide range of practical solutions and applications when it is difficult to create or reinstate damp‐proof courses or tackle penetrating damp because of, for example, access issues. A watertight, low‐profile sheet
membrane solution to the problem of persistent damp, Drybase Flex Membrane is a highly durable and flexible means of protection against moisture ingress which can be quickly and easily applied to walls using specially‐formulated Drybase Flex Adhesive.
One considerable advantage of
this installation technique to the contractor, compared to the manual fixing of pegged membranes, is that it removes the need for power tools and the health and safety concerns of noise, dust and vibration associated with
them.The membrane is a 1.5mm thick flexible polypropylene sheet with a fleeced surface on both sides and can be plastered or tiled onto directly. The two fleeces ensure good adhesion to the wall through the adhesive, as well as the direct application of plaster.
