UK cleats used in Chinese nuclear power plant

Emperor cable cleats and ProTect cable straps from UK company Ellis are being installed in the Areva European pressurised reactor (EPR) nuclear power plant currently under construction in the Guangdong province of China. The Taishan nuclear power project, a joint venture between EDF and China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group, is the third nuclear power station to be built using Areva’s 1,750MW EPR and it is the second time Areva has used Ellis products to secure electrical cables at a nuclear plant. Tony Conroy, export sales director at Ellis, said: “Our first specification for Areva was for its OL3 reactor in Finland in 2009, and was secured as a result of our proven technical expertise and excellent industrial references. “Since then our reputation has grown and we are now viewed as the global cable cleat experts – a standing underscored by our willingness to put our products through project specific testing, which means they are tried, tested and proven to work prior to installation.”

ProTect cable straps, are manufactured in type 316L stainless steel for corrosion protection, even in the harshest environments.

Designed for use where the highest levels of short circuit withstand are required, Ellis’s Emperor cable cleats are available for both trefoil and single cable applications.
