A RILLINGTON company has developed an online calculator for its products.

Ellis Patents, which specialises in manufacturing cable cleats and cable holders, has developed a calculator to match products depending on cable formation, size and the installation environment.

The calculator provides specified cleat spacings, in respect to the short circuit conditions.

“With the new calculator, I’m confident this single online tool will have the biggest impact of any of our innovations to date,” said Stephen Walton, technical director at Ellis Patents.

“The calculator removes this complicated mathematical element from the specification process, and replaces it with a fool proof option that provides the correct cleat specification quickly and easily,”

“Specifiers and planners needed to make the calculation using a complex formula until now; it really does have the potential to be an industry essential across the globe.”
