How to Choose R-(N)TSCGEWÖU or F-(N)TSCGEWÖU Cable?
- If your application involves draglines, shovels, excavators, cable reels, or continuously moving mining machinery, choose R-(N)TSCGEWÖU
- If your application involves conveyors, substations, pump stations, transfer stations, or fixed mining infrastructure, choose F-(N)TSCGEWÖU.
What’s F-(N)TSCGEWÖU Mining Reeling Cable?
- F-(N)TSCGEWÖU is a medium-voltage flexible mining power cable for fixed installation, developed in accordance with DIN VDE 0250-813 for demanding mining, tunnelling, and bulk material handling applications.
- Unlike the standard (N)TSCGEWÖU trailing cable, which is designed for continuous cable reeling and mobile equipment, the F-(N)TSCGEWÖU version is optimized for fixed or semi-fixed power distribution where high electrical reliability is required but continuous trailing movement is not.
- The prefix “F” stands for Fixed Installation, indicating that the cable is intended for stationary installation alongside conveyor systems, transfer stations, shiftable mining equipment, substations, cable booms, and submersible pump installations. Although the cable remains highly flexible, its primary purpose is to provide a durable medium-voltage power connection rather than repeated trailing or high-speed reeling.

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

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

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

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

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

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
