Weidmuller KLBU RC shield clamp

Weidmüller has released a shield clamp that allows users to shield on both sides of a cable to eliminate noise.

The KLBU RC shield clamp discharges interference currents. The built-in high pass filter in the shield clamp prevents high-frequency noise from being transferred across the cable. It effectively suppresses interfering currents to help ensure a more effective and responsive system.

Suitable for use in long or extensive systems, the KLBU RC shield clamp is particularly useful in power plants, sewage plants, wastewater and other industrial facilities where the use of numerous data cables, processors and frequency converters is growing and so too, the potential for problems. The use of the KLBU RC shield clamp on the field side(s) reduces transfer impedance and improves system performance and stability.

According to Weidmüller, the KLBU RC shield clamp also aids functional earthing to help protect the electrical equipment. Most people are aware of protective earthing to keep life and assets safe. Functional earthing protects electrical equipment. The KLBU RC allows users to shield at both ends of long cable routes to also help ensure the performance and safety of the electrical cables.

The KLBU-RC shield clamp is also certified for resistance to vibration. It meets the requirements of wind power plants and can be used in mobile installations.

Available in three different terminal sizes from 3 to 20 mm, the shield clamps match cable diameters for secure contact.
