Technical Specifications
In fast-moving industrial operations, selecting the right reeling cable is crucial. The (N)TSCGEWOEU High-Performance Mobile Reeling Cable is engineered to handle extreme mechanical stresses while providing reliable power for cranes, stacker-reclaimers, container handling equipment, and large-scale industrial machinery.
What Is the Structure of the (N)TSCGEWOEU Reeling Cable?
The (N)TSCGEWOEU cable’s design prioritizes flexibility, durability, and safety. Understanding its structure explains why it withstands mechanical and environmental stress better than standard mobile cables.
Conductor and Conductor Screen
The phase and earth conductors are composed of tinned annealed stranded copper wires, Class 5, according to VDE 0295 and IEC 60228, ensuring excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Each conductor is shielded with an inner semiconductive rubber compound and tape, which improves electrical stability and reduces the risk of partial discharges.
Insulation and Insulation Screen
High-grade EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation ensures excellent dielectric properties, mechanical resilience, and heat resistance. For most voltage classes above 1.8/3 kV, an extruded outer semiconductive layer surrounds the insulation, enhancing performance and making stripping easier during installation.
Core Arrangement
This is a three-core cable where the earth conductor is split into three segments, placed between the phase cores. This arrangement ensures uniform stress distribution and minimizes electromagnetic interference. The conductors are left-hand stranded, which optimizes torsional performance during reeling applications.
Inner and Outer Sheaths
The inner sheath is a durable rubber compound (quality ≥ 5GM3, VDE 0207-21), while the outer sheath (≥ 5GM5) protects against abrasion, oil, water, and UV exposure. Between the sheaths lies a polyester thread reinforcement braid, bonded by vulcanization to significantly increase tensile strength and durability.
What Are the Key Standards and Certifications of the (N)TSCGEWOEU Cable?
To ensure operational safety and regulatory compliance, the (N)TSCGEWOEU adheres to multiple standards:
Standard | Scope |
|---|---|
VDE 0250-813 | General requirements for mobile and flexible power cables |
VDE 0250-1 | General cable requirements |
VDE 0298-3 / 0298-4 | Bending radius and current-carrying guidelines |
VDE 0472 series | Electrical and non-electrical tests (flame, oil, UV, water resistance) |
IEC 60332-1-2 | Flame retardancy |
IEC 60811-404 | Oil resistance |
BS EN 50289-4-17 | UV resistance |
These certifications validate its suitability for demanding industrial environments, particularly for cranes and machinery requiring continuous mobility and high reliability.
What Are the Typical Applications in Indonesia?
Indonesia’s industrial and port infrastructure increasingly relies on high-speed cranes, container terminals, stacker-reclaimers, and mining machinery, where cable failure can lead to operational downtime or safety incidents. Real-world applications include:
Container cranes at Tanjung Priok Port: The cable supports continuous movement over 150 m/min at high torsion angles.
Large-scale industrial machinery in Java: Ensures stable power supply for automated production lines with heavy mechanical stress.
Coal and mineral loading systems in Kalimantan: High abrasion and vertical travel loads require robust reeling cables.
In all cases, the cable’s oil, UV, and water resistance makes it ideal for Indonesia’s tropical and industrial environments.
FAQ Section
Can this cable be used for vertical lifts?
Yes. Its design supports vertical reeling and torsion stresses, making it suitable for cranes and platform lifts.
