3.6-30kV R-(N)TSCGEWÖU Vs F-(N)TSCGEWÖU Reeling Cable

  • R-(N)TSCGEWÖU is a medium-voltage reeling cable designed for continuous winding, unwinding, tensile loading and torsional stress on mobile mining equipment,
  • while F-(N)TSCGEWÖU is a medium-voltage semi-flexible installation cable intended for fixed or occasionally movable power distribution systems.
  • The reeling version incorporates an anti-torsion braid and a heavy-duty 5GM5 sheath for dynamic applications, whereas the F-version uses a simpler construction optimized for stationary service with lower mechanical stress.

How to Choose R-(N)TSCGEWÖU or R-(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.
