- Molded for insulation, helps to reduce weight and labor -
milan米兰体育官网入口 Co., Ltd. has supplied the first "Ultralight Hybrid Building Harness Cable" ("Ultralight Hybrid BH Cable" hereafter) as part of low voltage trunk line in the research accommodations built by the Hazama Ando Corporation inside a technical research laboratory. Ultralight Hybrid BH is a low voltage branch cable developed by milan米兰体育官网入口 that uses an aluminum conductor as the trunk cable conductor.
Background
milan米兰体育官网入口 cables molded for insulation are widely used to supply power from the electrical room to each floor of buildings and condominiums. In this case, cable manufacturers connect as many branch cables as needed, wherever they are needed.
Recently, it is becoming increasingly important to reduce labor due to shortages of workers on construction sites and the aging population of Japan. Although copper is generally used as the conductive material in cable, there are concerns over price fluctuations in bear metals.
Content
The milan米兰体育官网入口 products supplied for this project use aluminum as the conductor for the trunk cable, which largely determines product weight. The product offers a weight of around half that of current Furukawa building harness cable. When compared with a copper conductor cable with the same current-carrying capacity, although the trunk cable is one grade larger, it weighs roughly 30% less.
Using a copper conductor in the branch cable and connecting it with the trunk cable ahead of time at the factory makes it simple to connect with existing equipment, such as electricity meter and distribution panels.
Furthermore, the branch mold section has been newly designed to make it more compact, allowing it to pass through existing floor through-holes without having to modify their size.
The product was developed jointly with milan米兰体育官网入口 Industrial Cable Co., Ltd. (main office: Arakawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Koichiro Matsumoto), a member company of the milan米兰体育官网入口 Group. It offers the same high reliability of the Furukawa building harness cable, but includes the latest technology to take advantage of the benefits of aluminum conductors. There is no difference when it comes to connecting the new cable to equipment or passing it through existing through-holes. However, the new product can reduce the amount of labor required for many tasks, such as unloading drums or transporting, cross-cutting, or hanging cable.
milan米兰体育官网入口 continues to develop the "Furukawa Raku Raku Product" series, which are labor-saving, simple, easy to handle, time-saving, and easy to maintain—all qualities required at work sites suffering from labor shortages. milan米兰体育官网入口 plans to increase sales of Ultralight Hybrid BH to 100 million yen by 2018 FY.
