What are your thoughts regarding safety on this equipment cable entry?

Guinea Pig over 2 years ago

My first post!

Got a new piece of equipment to be fed from 63A/80A single phase supply. Requires at least 2x 3C cables entering sized at 16mmsq (H07 type).

Glands wont fit, no cable strain relief...

Thoughts appreciated.

Another suggestion - find a stepped grommet or similar that could squash down to the existing oval hole and let the cable through, but solid rather than slotted, so fingers can't be pushed though - e.g. this kind of thing https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-power/12312/grommet-sleeve-20-00mm-x-1-60mm/dp/CBBR5841 (not the right size, but in principle) or https://cpc.farnell.com/hylec/hyc1456238/cable-retention-grommet-m40/dp/CB13368 (just random Google finds).
