11 Large Bundle Applications Among the many considerations for managing large wire bundles, weight and movement are key. Trackers move all day, shifting the weight of large bundles, which are further affected by wind. Care must be taken so products will last years instead of months. The jumpers around tracker motors and at the ends of rows are especially prone to movement. Installing an arrest mechanism at these points is critical, because the weight of the row combined with the changing direction places great strain there. Ratchet P-Clamp HellermannTyton's revolutionary Ratchet P-Clamp delivers some of the most rugged, versatile wire management solutions in the solar market. The clamp can be attached easily with a self-tapping screw or using an existing bolt. The Ratchet P-Clamp can be mounted before or after wires are added. With just four sizes, it closes and locks to perfectly fit bundle sizes from ΒΌ" to 2" wide. If changes need to be made in the future, the clamp opens without removing it from the mounting surface. Multiple mounting bases provide nearly endless configuration options. Large Solar Ties HellermannTyton Heavy Duty and Wide Strap Solar Ties perform perfectly for large bundles and torque tubes. These ties feature many unique features that make wire management cost effective and easy. As you can see in the image, the HIRHSUV-formulated T250M in combination with another tie make an excellent solution for your cable routing needs.
