Mining operations demand robust and reliable electrical infrastructure, and the choice of cable can make a huge difference in both safety and productivity. Among heavy-duty mining cables, the (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V 0.6/1 kV VDE 0250-812 stands out as a flexible, elastomer-sheathed solution specifically designed for coal mines, supplying power to cutters, drills, and other mining equipment. Its unique monitoring core provides early detection of external damage, reducing downtime and improving safety. But what exactly makes this cable suitable for challenging underground environments, and how does it compare with other mining cables?
What Is the Structure of the (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V Mining Cable?
The (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V cable is engineered for durability, flexibility, and safety. Its design is meticulously optimized for the harsh conditions of coal mines.
Conductor:
The cable uses electrolytic, stranded, tinned copper wires (DIN VDE 0295 Class 5). This ensures excellent conductivity while maintaining flexibility for repeated bending and handling in underground environments.
Separator:
A semiconducting layer over the monitoring conductor separates the conductor from the insulation. Additionally, phase cores and control units are separated with a semiconducting layer to enhance electrical stability.
Insulation:
Phase and control cores are insulated with a 3Gl3 elastomeric compound compliant with DIN VDE 0207 part 20, offering high resistance to mechanical stress and chemical exposure. The monitoring core remains uninsulated to allow continuous detection of sheath damage.
Layup:
Phase cores are laid up in contact with each other, alongside pre-laid control units, optimizing flexibility and reducing the risk of core stress during bending.
Bedding and Armour:
The cable features a special elastomeric bedding compound GM/b and is protected by galvanized steel and tinned copper pliable armour, offering outstanding resistance to mechanical impact and abrasion.
Outer Sheath:
Its heavy-duty elastomer outer sheath 5GM5 provides additional protection against oils, chemicals, moisture, and rough handling underground.
Where Can the (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V Cable Be Used?
The (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V cable is specifically designed for coal mining operations, powering:
Coal mine cutters and drills
Conveyor systems and other mobile mining equipment
Situations where flexibility, mechanical strength, and damage monitoring are essential
It can also be used in industrial environments, such as construction sites and quarries, where machinery requires heavy-duty flexible power supply cables.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the maximum voltage for the (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V mining cable?
The cable is rated at 0.6/1 kV, with a test voltage of 3 kV, making it ideal for low-voltage coal mining equipment.
Can the (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V be used in wet or humid environments?
Yes. The 5GM5 elastomer sheath and GM/b bedding provide excellent moisture resistance, though routine inspections are recommended.
How does the monitoring core work?
The uninsulated monitoring core detects mechanical damage to the outer sheath, allowing maintenance teams to address issues before failure occurs.
How flexible is the cable for underground mining use?
It features highly flexible conductors and phase/control layup optimization, making it suitable for continuous bending and handling in confined spaces.
How does (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V compare with standard rubber-sheathed mining cables?
Compared to standard cables, it offers enhanced mechanical protection, monitoring features, and flexibility, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
What is the recommended maintenance schedule?
Inspect monthly for mechanical damage.
Test monitoring core continuity quarterly.
Replace cable if monitoring core signals a sheath breach.
