The installation of an electric sliding gate requires, in addition to the motorization and accessories, careful planning of the electrical system. This includes the preparation and implementation of electrical conduits adequate. These conduits are essential to protect cables from physical damage and ensure installation safety. In this article, we explore the number and type of ducts needed to install an electric sliding gate.
Choice and sizing of ducts for the main power supply
To power the mechanism of your sliding gate, it is crucial to opt for a TPC type sheath at least 40 mm in diameter for powering the automation. This sheath must be resistant and comply with current standards to protect the electrical cables which connect the power generator to your gate. This sufficient diameter allows the necessary cables to be passed without overloading, thus ensuring safety and durability.
Wiring accessories and safety devices
Modern sliding gates incorporate various devices to improve security and accessibility. For each additional device such as a photoelectric cell or a digital code, it is recommended to provide a additional sheath. Typically, these sheaths should be 20mm diameter and installed at specific heights: approximately 50 cm from the ground for photoelectric cells and 1.5 meters for digital codes.
Interconnection between pillars and peripheral devices
When planning your gate installation, it is also essential to consider the interconnection between the various electrical components. For example, a 40 mm sheath is generally required for the passage of inter-motor cables or to connect the photoelectric cells located on the different pillars of the gate. This helps ensure smooth and efficient communication between all elements of the system.
Compliance with standards and safety of installations
To ensure the safety and conformity of the installation, the recommendations regarding electrical wiring and cable protection must be strictly followed. The use of adequate ducts, verification of their integrity and their installation according to the rules of the art are essential. This includes following recommended trench depths for burying conduits, often around 50cm, to protect the cables from potential damage and ensure the safety of the installation.
In summary, the installation of an electric sliding gate requires careful planning of the electrical infrastructure, including the judicious choice and proper installation of the necessary conduits. This not only ensures the proper functioning of the portal, but also the security of users.
