In ports, container terminals, steel plants, and mining sites across Indonesia, mobile equipment operates under extreme mechanical stress. Cables must withstand high travel speeds, dynamic tensile loads, torsion, and repeated reeling cycles—while safely transmitting medium voltage power.

This is where the (N)TSCGEWOEU medium voltage reeling cable stands out. Designed according to DIN VDE 0250-813, it is purpose-built for cranes and mobile machinery operating at 3.6/6 kV up to 12/20 kV under severe mechanical conditions.

What Is the (N)TSCGEWOEU Reeling Cable Used For?

The (N)TSCGEWOEU is a flexible medium voltage rubber-insulated reeling cable developed specifically for applications involving:

Continuous reeling and unreeling
High travel speeds (up to 180 m/min)
Dynamic tensile forces
Multiple directional changes (S-type routing)
Torsional stress (±50°/m)

Typical applications include:

Ship-to-shore (STS) container cranes
Rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTG)
Rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMG)
Large mobile stackers and reclaimers
Heavy material handling systems

In Indonesian ports such as Tanjung Priok, Belawan, and Tanjung Perak, these operating conditions are common—making (N)TSCGEWOEU a proven solution.

What Standards Does (N)TSCGEWOEU Follow and Why Do They Matter?

The cable is based on DIN VDE 0250-813, a German standard specifically addressing reeling cables under high mechanical stress.

Why DIN VDE 0250-813 is important:

Defines mechanical load limits
Specifies torsion resistance
Regulates rubber compound performance
Ensures long service life under dynamic motion

For Indonesian projects using European cranes or EPC specifications, compliance with DIN VDE standards significantly reduces approval and commissioning risks.
