In modern industrial settings, the demand for robust, flexible, and safe power supply solutions has never been higher. One cable that stands out in this context is the (N)SSCHÖU-J 0.6/1kV Heavy Duty Flexible Rubber Cable. Specifically engineered for harsh industrial and hazardous environments, this cable offers flame retardancy, EMC screening, and the ability to operate under dynamic, static, or even submerged conditions. But what exactly makes it suitable for such challenging applications, and how does it compare with other industrial cables?
What Is the Structure of the (N)SSCHÖU-J Cable?
Understanding a cable's structure is essential to appreciating its capabilities. The (N)SSCHÖU-J 0.6/1kV is a heavy-duty rubber flexible cable designed for high mechanical, thermal, and environmental stresses.
Phase Conductor: Class 5 tinned copper, offering excellent flexibility and corrosion resistance.
Earth Conductor: Class 5 tinned copper, ensuring safe grounding in all environments.
Insulation: High-quality rubber compound, capable of enduring wide temperature ranges and mechanical stress.
Screen: Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) provides Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) protection, making it suitable for sensitive electronic applications such as frequency converter controlled drives.
Inner and Outer Sheath: Rubber compounds designed for abrasion resistance, oil resistance, and flame retardancy.
Sheath Colour: Yellow, improving visibility in complex industrial settings.
This robust construction ensures that the cable can operate safely under static and mobile conditions, both indoors and outdoors, even under permanent submersion in water up to 100 meters, including fresh, salt, oily, and sewage-contaminated water.
Where Can (N)SSCHÖU-J Cable Be Used?
The (N)SSCHÖU-J 0.6/1kV cable is extremely versatile and widely used in industrial and hazardous environments:
Mining Operations: Suitable for dynamic equipment connections in underground or open-cast mining, especially when submerged in water or exposed to harsh chemicals.
Industrial Machinery: Connects heavy machinery in factories, especially for frequency-controlled drives that require EMC screening.
Marine Applications: Pumps, dredgers, floating docks, and submersible equipment. Can handle fresh, salt, oily, and sewage-contaminated water.
Hazardous Environments: Oil refineries, chemical plants, and wastewater treatment facilities, where flame retardancy and mechanical toughness are crucial.
Case in Indonesia
In Indonesia, heavy industries such as palm oil processing plants and port dredging operations have adopted the (N)SSCHÖU-J cable. For example, a dredging company in Surabaya installed 150 meters of 70 mm² (N)SSCHÖU-J cable for a submersible dredger. The cable successfully operated under continuous immersion in brackish water while connected to a frequency-controlled pump, demonstrating exceptional durability and EMC performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can (N)SSCHÖU-J Cable Be Permanently Submersed?
Yes. It can operate in water (fresh, salt, waste, oily, or sewage-contaminated) up to a 100-meter depth without performance degradation.
Is the Cable Flame Retardant?
Yes. The outer and inner sheath are flame retardant according to IEC/EN 60332-1-2, reducing fire hazards in industrial environments.
What Makes This Cable Suitable for EMC-Sensitive Equipment?
The tinned copper wire braid (TCWB) screen provides electromagnetic interference protection, essential for frequency converter controlled drives and other sensitive machinery.
How Does It Handle Extreme Temperatures?
The cable performs in a wide temperature range:
Static: -40°C to +80°C
Mobile: -25°C to +80°C
Short Circuit: up to 250°C
What Are the Key Differences Between Mobile and Static Installation?
Mobile installations must account for higher mechanical stress, requiring the 5× overall diameter bending radius. Static installations are less mechanically demanding.
Can I Reel the Cable for Mobile Applications?
Yes, but you must follow the reeled current ratings in the technical chart to avoid overheating.
How Do I Select the Right Cable Size?
Consider current carrying capacity, voltage drop, and installation conditions. Use the provided tables to match operational requirements.
