The KT29 cable gland from Eaton, manufacturer's number 029150, is an installation component for secure and durable cable entry into electrical distribution and control enclosures. It provides mechanical and electrical protection for cables when passing through walls with a thickness of 2 to 8 mm. The product is made of soft PVC, which is cadmium- and lead-free, and is particularly suitable for use in damp room and industrial environments. The cable gland is designed for cable entry according to the PG 29 standard, with a drilling size of 38 mm. The outer cable diameter that can be passed through the gland ranges from 12.5 mm to 31 mm. The gland is designed for use with NYM or NYY type cables, supporting a cross-section size of 1.5 mm² to 35 mm² for a 4-wire cable. The color corresponds approximately to RAL 7035, a gray tone commonly used in electrical installations.

Applications
The KT29 cable gland is intended for use in distribution and control enclosures, particularly in damp room and industrial applications where reliable and weather-resistant cable entry is required. It is suitable for installation in ISO distribution enclosures and similar switchgear, where mechanical stability and electrical insulation of cables play an important role. The gland is designed for wall thicknesses of 2 to 8 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of standard enclosures.

Functions and Features in Detail
The cable gland provides secure and tight guidance for electrical cables, with the elastic soft PVC structure ensuring an optimal fit. The gland prevents dust, moisture, and small particles from entering the enclosure, thereby increasing electrical safety. The use of cadmium- and lead-free material meets requirements for environmentally compatible products and is particularly relevant in electrical installations. The gland is designed for NYM and NYY cable types, which are widely used in industrial and commercial electrical installations.

Technology Explained Simply
The cable gland operates on the principle of elastic sealing: during installation, the gland is inserted into a hole with a diameter of 38 mm, adapting to the wall thickness. The cable is passed through the gland, and the elastic structure of the soft PVC ensures a tight seal around the cable. The gland is designed for cables with an outer diameter of 12.5 to 31 mm, enabling broad application possibilities. The PG 29 standard defines the geometric dimensions and mounting method to ensure a standardized and secure connection.

Compatibility and Accessories
The KT29 cable gland is compatible with NYM and NYY type cables, particularly in 4-wire configuration with a cross-section of 1.5 mm² to 35 mm². It is designed for wall thicknesses of 2 to 8 mm and can be used in distribution and control enclosures that have these wall thicknesses. The gland is suitable for use in damp room and industrial applications, with the material selection (soft PVC, cadmium- and lead-free) supporting the operating conditions.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by inserting the gland into a hole with a diameter of 38 mm in the enclosure wall. The gland adapts to wall thicknesses of 2 to 8 mm and is fixed by the elastic shape of the soft PVC. The cable is passed through the gland, with the elastic seal ensuring a tight and secure connection. Installation requires no additional tools or adhesives; the gland is simply inserted into the hole and the cable is passed through.

Operational Advantages
The KT29 cable gland provides reliable and tight cable entry, increasing electrical safety. The use of cadmium- and lead-free soft PVC supports environmentally compatible installations. The gland is designed for a wide range of cable cross-sections and wall thicknesses, increasing flexibility during installation. Compatibility with common cable types NYM and NYY makes it a universally applicable component in electrical installations.
