Compensation loop Detal-met KOMP32 PP 32 — electrical cable loop for expansion and strain relief

Compensation loop Detal-met KOMP32 PP 32 is a prefabricated electrical cable loop designed to absorb thermal expansion and to reduce mechanical strain on conductors in distribution and control circuits. Supplied in PP 32 size, the loop provides a controlled service length that accommodates length changes, routing through junctions, and the creation of service loops during installation. The product is intended for indoor and protected outdoor environments and helps maintain conductor integrity by preventing excessive tension and bending stress.

Advantages

The Detal-met KOMP32 PP 32 compensation loop offers a ready-made solution that saves installation time and ensures consistent loop geometry. By providing a built-in allowance for thermal movement, it reduces the risk of conductor damage and connector loosening. The prefabricated design simplifies handling in tight routing conditions and minimizes the need for on-site bending or forming of cable, supporting longer service life for installed cables.

Suitable for

• Electrical distribution panels and control cabinets
• Service loops at junction boxes and terminations
• Indoor and protected outdoor cable runs where thermal expansion occurs
• Installation scenarios requiring repeatable and consistent loop geometry

Key specifications

• Form: prefabricated cable loop
• Size designation: PP 32 (suitable for cables that fit the PP 32 routing)
• Function: absorb thermal expansion and relieve mechanical strain
• Intended environment: indoor and protected outdoor use
• Application: distribution and control circuits, junctions and terminations

How to use

Install the Compensation loop Detal-met KOMP32 PP 32 by routing the cable through the loop section during initial cabling or when creating a service loop at a termination point. Secure the cable in the panel or enclosure following standard wiring practices and local electrical codes, ensuring that connectors and terminations remain accessible. Leave the loop untensioned so it can accommodate thermal movement; avoid sharp bends or kinks at entry and exit points to maintain the loop's effectiveness. For protected outdoor installations, place the loop within an enclosure or behind suitable covers to prevent direct exposure to weather and mechanical damage.

Usage recommendations

Ensure compatibility between cable outer diameter and the PP 32 loop routing before installation. Use the compensation loop where predictable thermal expansion or mechanical movement may occur, and follow applicable installation standards and safety procedures to maintain conductor integrity and reliable connections.
