2. Environmental Requirements Underground roadways:
damp, dusty, and subject to rockfall/debris impact Resistant to machine oil, hydraulic fluid, emulsions, acids, and alkalis Flame-retardant and self-extinguishing; compliant with IEC 60332-1

3. Safety and Maintenance Requirements
Daily inspections Check outer sheath for cracks, abrasion, bulging, heat damage, or oil saturation Check connectors and terminations for looseness, overheating, or discoloration Check reel winding for neatness and ensure there is no jamming or binding

4. Prohibited Conditions
Outer sheath damaged, exposing the core Insulation aged, hardened, or cracked Broken conductor strands or overheated connections Torsion exceeding permissible limits or severe deformation

5. Common Specifications (Typical for Load-Haul-Dump Loaders)
4×16 mm² (6 kN): Low-power LHD

4×50 mm² (12/30 kN): High-power LHD

NSHTOEU Mining LHD Loaders Cable Packaging Requirements

NSHTOEU cables are heavy-duty, high-tensile-strength, frequently wound cables. Packaging is uniformly done using: Solid wooden reels (standard): Export/Long-distance transport
All-iron reels (high strength): Large cross-section (≥35mm²), long length (≥200m) or repeated use in mines.

The following are the standard reel dimensions (mm) for common NSHTOEU reels with outer diameters of 25–50mm and lengths of 100–300m:

1) Reel Diameter (Outer Diameter) OD
Common: 800 / 1000 / 1250 / 1400 mm
Common for LHD: 1000 mm (100–200m), 1250 mm mm (200–300m)

2) Shaft Diameter (Cylinder Diameter) ID

Must meet: ID ≥ 20 × Cable Outer Diameter (to prevent factory bending damage)

Typical: 350 / 400 / 500 mm
For NSHTOEU (outer diameter ≈ 30–45mm): Recommended ID ≥ 500 mm

3) Coil Width (Inner Width) W
Single Layer Winding: W = Cable Length Layout Width + 50mm Allowance
Common: 400 / 500 / 600 mm
LHD Common: 500 mm

4) Side Plate Thickness
Solid Wood: 25–30 mm
Iron Wood / Iron Coil: 20–25 mm

FAQ

Q: What is NSHTOEU cable mainly used for?

A: It is a 0.6/1 kV heavy-duty reeling cable specially designed for mining LHDs, scoops and other mobile underground mining machines.

Q: What are its core advantages?

A: It features outstanding flexibility, torsion resistance, tensile strength, abrasion resistance, oil resistance and flame retardancy.

Q: What standard does NSHTOEU comply with?

A: It is manufactured in accordance with VDE 0250 Part 814, the German industrial standard for mining cables.

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: The static temperature ranges from -40°C to +90°C, and the dynamic working temperature is -25°C to +60°C.

Q: Does this cable have a tension member?

A: Yes. It is fitted with a central steel wire or aramid fiber tension member to withstand pulling force during reeling.

Q: How is it different from SHD-GC mining cable?

A: NSHTOEU is low-voltage unshielded cable for LHDs, while SHD-GC is high-voltage shielded cable equipped with ground check function.

Quality Assurance

Testing at every stage in our own workshop and laboratory, from incoming copper to the packed drum.

Bare copper wire bobbins inspected before stranding at the TEBAOFLEX factory

Raw Material Inspection

Every batch of copper rod, rubber compound and reinforcing material is checked before it reaches the line.

  • Copper: conductor resistance, elongation and surface condition on incoming rod and drawn wire
  • EPR, CPE, PUR and silicone compounds: hardness, tensile strength, elongation and ageing samples from each mix
  • Suppliers and batch numbers are recorded so every drum can be traced back to its materials
Operator monitoring an extrusion line control panel in the TEBAOFLEX workshop

Manufacturing Process Control

Stranding, insulation extrusion, core assembly and sheathing run under recorded process parameters.

  • Class 5/6 stranding with lay length and tension monitored for trailing and reeling flexibility
  • Continuous-vulcanisation extrusion with wall thickness and spark tests logged on every length
  • Operators sign off each stage before the cable moves to the next machine
3.5 kV voltage withstand test station in the TEBAOFLEX laboratory

Electrical Testing

Finished lengths go through the routine tests required by the referenced VDE, ICEA, IEC or NEK standard.

  • Conductor resistance and insulation resistance on every length
  • Voltage withstand (3.5 kV and higher) and partial-discharge measurement in the shielded HV laboratory
  • Screen and pilot-core continuity checks for mining and reeling constructions
Tensile testing machine for conductor and sheath samples

Mechanical and Ageing Tests

Samples from production are tested for the duty a mining, crane or submersible cable will actually see.

  • Tensile strength and elongation of insulation and sheath before and after ageing
  • Hot-set, ozone, oil-immersion and low-temperature bending tests
  • Constant-temperature water bath for insulation resistance of submersible constructions
Single-cable vertical flame test chamber

Flame Test and Final Inspection

Before packing, the cable is checked against the order and the flame-performance requirement of its standard.

  • Single-cable vertical flame test to IEC 60332-1-2 where specified
  • Metre marking, printing, drum length and appearance inspection
  • Test report and packing list issued with every shipment
