The LUK 40.060 E3 cable protection channel from Niedax is an unperforated installation channel made of stainless steel, designed for the safe routing of electrical cables in indoor and outdoor environments. It features a snap-on lid that automatically establishes equipotential bonding during installation. The dimensions are approximately 40 mm height and 60 mm width, with a delivery length of 2000 mm. The usable cross-section of the channel is 1982 mm², providing sufficient capacity for multiple cables. The material is stainless steel grade 1.4301 (AISI 304), known for its corrosion resistance and mechanical strength.

Cable protection channel

The channel is intended for the protected and structured routing of electrical cables in technical installations. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring high mechanical load capacity and long-term durability, such as in industrial plants, buildings with enhanced safety requirements, or outdoor use. The unperforated construction prevents the ingress of dust, moisture, or small particles, extending the service life of the cables installed within.

Functions and equipment in detail

The snap-on lid enables quick and secure installation without additional fastening elements. When snapped into place, the lid is automatically electrically connected to the channel body, ensuring equipotential bonding without additional measures. This is particularly important for compliance with protective measures against electrical hazards. For connecting multiple channel sections at joints, additional joint connectors LST...E3 are required and must be ordered separately.

Technology explained clearly

The use of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) ensures high resistance to corrosion, even under exposure to moisture or aggressive environmental conditions. The material selection makes the channel suitable for use in damp rooms, such as kitchens, bathrooms, or industrial environments. The automatic equipotential bonding when snapping the lid reduces installation time and minimizes error sources, as no additional connecting wires or screw connections are required.

Compatibility and accessories

The channel is designed for use with additional components of the LUK system. These connectors ensure an electrically conductive connection between individual channel sections, which is necessary for equipotential bonding and electrical safety.

Installation and mounting

Mounting is performed by snapping the lid onto the channel body. The automatic electrical connection when snapping the lid simplifies the installation process. When installing multiple channel sections, additional connectors LST...E3 must be installed at the joints to ensure a continuous electrical connection.

Advantages in operation

The channel offers high mechanical stability and corrosion resistance, increasing the service life of the installation. The automatic equipotential bonding function when snapping the lid reduces installation time and minimizes errors. The unperforated construction protects the cables installed within from external influences such as dust or moisture. The use of stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) makes the channel suitable for demanding environments where high material quality requirements apply.
