Abstract

Razvoj kanala za strujne kablove u raznim privatnim i poslovnim objektima osigurava pravilno funkcioniranje električnih sustava. Za sigurno i precizno postavljanje kanala zadužene su konzole. U ovom diplomskom radu napravljena je analiza između postojeće tehnologije konzola i dvije nove tehnologije konzola s fokusom na njihovu nosivost i progib. Cilj istraživanja bio je pružiti uvid u ponašanje konzola pod različitim opterećenjima i utvrditi njihovu sposobnost izdržavanja zahtjevnih uvjeta rada. Za potrebe analize, upotrijebljena je statička analiza uz pomoć softvera SolidWorks Simulation. Provodeći simulacije pod različitim opterećenjima, dobiveni su rezultati o deformacijama, progibima i nosivosti konzola. Zatim su konzole eksperimentalno ispitane po normi EN ISO 61537:2007 te uspoređene s računskom simulacijom.
Na temelju rezultata ispitivanja, utvrđeno je da se novom tehnologijom može značajno utjecati na svojstva proizvoda. Također je primjećeno da najbolje rezultate prema normi EN ISO 61537:2007 daje nova tehnologija od debljeg materijala.
Ovi rezultati pružaju važne smjernice za inženjere i projektante tijekom dimenzioniranja i odabira konzola kanala za strujne kablove. Sigurnost i pouzdanost takvih konstrukcija ključni su faktori za ispravno funkcioniranje elektroenergetskih sustava u industrijskim postrojenjima, skladištima i komercijalnim zgradama. Ovo istraživanje je dovelo do korisnih rezultata koji pridonose kvalitetnijem shvaćanju ponašanja konzola kanala za strujne kablove, a time i unaprjeđenju pouzdanosti i stabilnosti elektroenergetskih sustava u raznim okruženjima.

Abstract (english)

Development of cable trays in various private and commercial facilities ensures the proper
functioning of electrical systems. The installation of these cable trays ensuring safety and
precision, is entrusted to consoles. This thesis presents an analysis comparing the current
bracket technology with two novel bracket technologies, with a focus on their load-bearing
capacity and deflection. The research objective was to provide insight into the behavior of
brackets under different loads and determine their ability to withstand demanding operational
conditions. For the purpose of analysis, static analysis using SolidWorks Simulation software
was employed. By conducting simulations under various loads, results regarding deformations,
deflections, and load-bearing capacities of the consoles were obtained. Subsequently, the
brackets were experimentally tested in accordance with the EN ISO 61537:2007 standard and
compared with the computational simulation.
Based on the test results, it was determined that the new technology can significantly influence
the product's properties. Additionally, it was observed that the new technology, utilizing thicker
materials, yielded the best results according to the EN ISO 61537:2007 standard.
These findings provide essential guidelines for engineers and designers in the dimensioning and
selection of cable trays brackets. Safety and reliability of such structures are critical factors for
the proper functioning of electrical power systems in industrial facilities, warehouses, and
commercial buildings. This research has yielded valuable results that contribute to a more
comprehensive understanding of the behavior of cable tray brackets, thereby enhancing the
reliability and stability of electrical power systems in various environments.
