The mining industry was the birthplace of hazardous area cable glands after it was learned centuries ago that the gases and dusts present in mines were often the cause of catastrophic explosions and so preventative measures were developed to help stop these disasters. In the modern day, these cable glands are tested to EN 60079 and approved for Group I mining applications. Bimed has a range of group I mining approved cable glands and termination accessories for both armoured and non-armoured cables, as well as barrier glands for non-effectively filled cables.The mining industry was the birthplace of hazardous area cable glands after it was learned centuries ago that the gases and dusts present in mines were often the cause of catastrophic explosions and so preventative measures were developed to help stop these disasters.
