Eos em Mains Cables From Atlas

13th January 2023

Atlas Cables has launched its latest range of mains power cables – the Eos em

Consisting of two models – Eos 2.5em and Eos 4.0em – this new range is a fully screened ‘dual drain’ design, which builds on Atlas’ ongoing research to reduce the effects of signal-harming airborne electromagnetic interference. Now incorporating an all-new carbon-loaded screening process, the Eos em range offers protection against the effects of Rf radiation.

For each conductor, Atlas Cables Eos em utilises the high current capacity oxygen free copper (OFC), with the 4.0 variant having a 4mm² cross section and the 2.5 having a 2.5mm² cross section of twisted strands. Each of the three internal conductors is sheathed using PVC dielectrics, and then twisted together with the other two conductors.

Anti-vibration filler packs out the conductors, which are then covered in a new hybrid carbon screen.

The additional dual drain system conductors are combined with the hybrid carbon screen to maximise performance before the whole construction is covered in soft PVC and finished with black protective fabric sleaving.

Both ends of the cable are terminated with IEC and 13 Amp Eos power plugs (Nema and Shuko terminations are also available), with IEC C15 and C19 available for the 4.0 and IEC C13 for the 2.5.

Every internal mechanical connection that can lead to deleterious macro vibrations is damped via the application of a two-part high-density Epoxy resin, which also seals the primary connection points airtight thereby mitigating any long term oxidisation issues.
