2kV Type W Portable Power Cable Application Environment and Installation Steps
- 1. Safety Preparations
Confirm the type w portable mining power cable voltage class 2000V, Wear PPE: insulated gloves, safety glasses, steel-toe boots - 2. Cable Inspection & Route Planning
Plan route: avoid sharp edges, high heat, and excessive bending. Minimum bending radius: 6× OD; no kinks or sharp bends. - 3. Connector Installation (Camlock / Mine-style)
Slide backshell, gasket, and strain relief onto cable. Wrap copper shim around bare conductors for proper seating. Insert into camlock body, tighten set screws evenly.
Secure strain relief (critical for mining drag/pull).
Seal jacket entry to prevent moisture/dirt ingress. - 4. Cable Laying & Securing
Lay cable in straight runs; use rollers to avoid dragging on sharp surfaces.
Tebaoflex Mining Cable Product
Firstly, Conductor Preparation & Extrusion
Phase Conductors: Start with finely stranded, tinned, soft-annealed copper wire. Extrude a semi-conducting layer over the conductor to act as a conductor shield and ensure smooth electrical fields.
Primary Insulation: Extrude a layer of Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) over the semi-conducting layer. An additional semi-conducting EPR layer is then extruded over the insulation as a strippable insulation shield.
Ground & Ground Check Conductors: Prepare uninsulated flexible tinned copper ground wires and a ground check wire. The ground check wire must be extruded with high-strength, colored polypropylene insulation (typically yellow)

Secondly, Shielding & Core Assembly
Braid Shielding: Apply a composite tinned copper and color-coded textile/nylon braid (Black, Blue, Red for phase identification) over each of the insulated phase conductors to act as an individual electrostatic shield.
Cabling (Twisting): Lay up the three shielded phase conductors, two uninsulated ground conductors, and the yellow ground check conductor together with suitable rubber fillers to achieve a perfectly circular cross-section.
Bedding & Reinforcement: Wrap the cabled core with a single-faced rubber-filled binder tape and apply a reinforcing twine (reinforcing braid) to provide mechanical strength.
Thirdly Jacketing(Inner Sheath and Ourter Sheath)
Inner & Outer Sheath: Extrude a heavy-duty thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) compound over the assembly to form the inner jacket. For heavy-duty mining grades, apply a second outer CPE jacket.
Mold-Curing: For strict mining applications, the cable must pass through a continuous vulcanization (CV) or mold-curing process to cross-link the thermoset rubber and deliver extreme abrasion, oil, and chemical resistance.

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
