Product Advantages

What sets TEBAOFLEX VDE Mining Cable apart in service.

DIN VDE 0250 Type Codes

NSSHCGEÖU(V) references Part 812, NSHTOEU Part 814 and most medium-voltage types Part 813, so the type code on an existing cable points to a matching construction.

Anti-Torsion Reinforcement

Polyester or polyamide braids between inner and outer sheath on NSHTOEU, NSHTOU-J and R-(N)TSCGEWÖU; an aramid braid on (N)TSCGEWTOEUS OFE for torsion and high reeling speed.

0.6/1 kV to 20/35 kV

Low-voltage NSSH.. and NSHT.. types at 0.6/1 kV, and screened medium-voltage (N)TSCGEWÖU and NTM.. types from 3.6/6 kV up to 20/35 kV.

Fibre Optics in the Cable

FO builds carry 6, 12, 18 or 24 fibres of G50/125, G62.5/125 or E9/125 in a protective tube, so power and data share one reel.

Submersible and Waterproof Builds

(N)TSCGEWÖU and (N)TSCGECEWÖU submersible versions for permanent use in salty or brackish water up to 300 m; NTSCGEWOEU W 3E with waterproof GM1b and 5GM3 sheaths.

Stated Tensile and Speed Limits

Product pages list tensile load, torsion and travel speed, for example 30 N/mm² and 160 m/min for NSHTOEU, and 15 N/mm² and ±25°/m for R-(N)TSCGEWÖU.

How to Choose VDE Mining Cable

Four decisions specify the right cable the first time; send them with your RFQ and our engineers confirm the type designation.

1

Voltage Class

0.6/1 kV for NSSH.. and NSHT.. types, or a medium-voltage U0/U class from 3.6/6 kV to 20/35 kV matched to the machine supply.

2

Duty and Reel Data

Fixed, trailing or reeling; for reels, the drum type, travel speed and tensile load, and an anti-torsion build where the cable twists or changes plane.

3

Core Layout

Power cross-sections plus the earth arrangement and any pilot, ground-check, control or fibre-optic cores the machine protection system needs.

4

Water, Oil and Flame

Submersible builds for permanent immersion, waterproof sheaths for dredgers, and flame-retardant or halogen-free sheathing where tunnels specify it.

Industry Solutions

Cable packages engineered around the application, not just the cable.

    Insulation extrusion

    Cores are extruded and continuously vulcanised; wall thickness and spark tests are recorded on every length.

  4. 4

    Core assembly and screening

    Cores, earth conductors, pilot and fibre-optic elements are laid up with the fillers and screens the type designation requires.

  5. 5

    Inner and outer sheathing

    Reinforced double-sheath constructions are extruded and cured for abrasion, oil and tear resistance.

  6. 6

    Routine electrical tests

    Conductor resistance, voltage withstand and insulation resistance tests at the levels set by the referenced standard.

Cable Manufacturing Quality Control

Five-stage quality assurance from incoming copper to the packed drum.

  1. 01

    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
    ISO 9001IEC 60228
  2. 02

    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
    ISO 9001Recorded parameters
  3. 03

    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 test at the level set by the referenced standard
    • Screen and pilot-core continuity checks for mining and reeling constructions
    IEC 60502VDE 0250ICEA S-75-381
  4. 04

    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
    Hot-setOzoneOil immersionLow-temperature bending
  5. 05

    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
    • Packing list with every shipment; test documents for the order confirmed at quotation

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about VDE Mining Cable from our engineers.

01What does a VDE mining cable type designation tell me?

A VDE mining cable is identified by a DIN VDE 0250 type designation such as NSSHCGEÖU, NSHTOEU, (N)TSCGEWÖU or NTMCGCWOEU. Types differ in voltage class, earth and pilot-core layout, anti-torsion reinforcement and sheath compound. Prefixes and suffixes mark variants: R- for reeling duty, F- for fixed or occasionally moved runs, FO or LWL for fibre optics, and ABT for an added anti-torsion braid.

02What is the difference between NSSHCGEÖU(V) and NSSHCGEÖU(Z)?

Both are 0.6/1 kV trailing cables with EPR insulation, pilot cores and a yellow PCP 5GM5 sheath. The (V) standard build has a copper–steel wire braid, about 15 N/mm² tensile strength, ±25°/m torsion and a 10 × OD bending radius. The (Z) reinforced build has a double-layer copper–steel braid with optional aramid, and its page lists about 30 N/mm², ±50°/m, 8 × OD and reeling up to 160 m/min.

03When should I choose R-(N)TSCGEWÖU rather than F-(N)TSCGEWÖU?

R-(N)TSCGEWÖU is the reeling type for continuous winding, tensile load and torsion on shovels, draglines and excavators; it has a polyamide anti-torsion braid between a 5GM3 inner sheath and a 5GM5 or 5GM3 outer sheath. The F- prefix marks cable for fixed or occasionally moved runs such as mine substations, pump stations and shiftable conveyors, and is not recommended for continuous reeling.

04Which VDE mining cables can be used in water?

Use only builds described as submersible or in-water. The (N)TSCGEWÖU and (N)TSCGECEWÖU submersible versions are listed for permanent use in salty or brackish water up to 300 m, for pumps, dredges and floating docks. NTSCGEWOEU W 3E has waterproof GM1b inner and 5GM3 outer sheaths for dredgers and pumps, and (N)TMCGCW11Y is listed for water pressure up to 10 bar (AD8).

05Which VDE mining cables carry fibre optics?

R-(N)TSCGEWOEU FO and the FO versions of R-(N)TSCGEWÖU and (N)TSCGEWÖU carry an A-D(ZN)13Y module with 6, 12, 18 or 24 fibres of G50/125, G62.5/125 or E9/125. F-(N)TSCGEWÖU LWL TBM has an optional fibre element, and the listed (N)TSCGEWTOEUS OFE construction combines power and earth cores, 20 × 2.5 mm² control cores and 24 single-mode fibres.

06What should I send with a VDE mining cable RFQ?

The type designation and voltage class (U0/U); cores and cross-sections, including pilot, control and fibre elements; drum length and total length; the duty, whether fixed, trailing or reeling, with reel type, travel speed and tensile load; water, oil, temperature, flame or halogen-free requirements; and the required standard and test documents.
