Re nery is back for more

SpringWorld trade show

Ellis Patents has secured a repeat speci cation from a major Gulf Coast re nery, ten years after its cleats were used on the re nery’s rst substation. Ellis’s Vulcan+ cable cleats have been speci ed by Dashiell Corporation to secure two 68 kV armoured cable circuits, both of which stretch for over two miles and carry power across the re nery to a new process unit. Manufactured in 316L stainless steel, Vulcan+ cleats are designed to provide corrosion protection, even in harsh environments, while also ensuring cables remain secure and operational after a short circuit incident. They are quick to install, and feature integral LSF zero-halogen polymeric liners and base pads that protect and cushion cables during short circuit conditions. Dashiell Corp ordered the cable cleats through Ellis’s North American distributor, NASCO.
