Centaur Trefoil cable saddles are designed to support HV cables in trefoil formations alongside steelwork centres typically around 3 - 8m.

The assembly consists of an extruded and pressed aluminium saddle and a hinged aluminium overstrap. The curvature of the saddle accommodates the thermal expansion of the cable and the ends of the saddle are flared so that the cable never comes into contact with a sharp edge under any circumstances.

Centaur Trefoil is available in lengths of 400, 600 and 800mm to allow for different cable diameters and mounting centres.

Centaur Trefoil is project specific. Please contact Ellis for further details.

• Heavy duty cable saddle for trefoil cable formation

• Specially designed for High Voltage, sagged cable systems

• Curved saddle accommodates cable thermal expansion and sag

• Flared edges prevent cable damage

• Project specific design, built to a specified cable diameter (Ø)

• Available in standard lengths of 400, 600 and 800mm to allow for different cable diameters and mounting centres.

• Non-standard lengths available on request

• 6000 series aluminium

• A4-70 stainless steel closure fixings with isolation washers to prevent galvanic corrosion

• Low Smoke and Fume Zero Halogen (LSF0H), Phosphorus Free polymeric liner, incorporated into the over-strap, for increased cable protection

• Designed, tested and manufactured in accordance with IEC 61914

Centaur cable saddles have been tested in line with the International Standard ‘Cable Cleats for Electrical Installations’. As IEC 61914 is part of the low voltage directive it is not possible to follow the standard exactly and thus deviations have been made in areas. Typical results are detailed below, please note that these testing values are maximums and safety factors appropriate to your application should be used:
