Abstract
A cable gland assembly adapted to receive a cable and to pass through an opening in a sparking enclosure wall, the cable gland assembly including a cable-receiving gland, a stuffing box, a grommet, an insulator and a cable. The stuffing box has an opening there through, and a grommet-receiving portion having the grommet therein. The grommet-receiving portion is adjacent the cable-receiving gland. The stuffing box also includes a gas terminal portion filled with gas and adjacent the grommet-receiving portion, and an insulator portion having the insulator therein and being adjacent the gas terminal portion.
