TRM-J 0.69/1.15kV Mining Rubber Cable | VDE 0250 Standard

TRM-J is a high-flexibility mining rubber cable specifically designed for extreme heavy-duty mobile applications, with a rated voltage of 0.69/1.15kV. It features a tinned flexible copper conductor and EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation, complemented by a concentric braided screen. The cable offers excellent flexibility, as well as outstanding resistance to oil, ozone, and flame. It is widely used in mines, shafts, ports, steel mills, and oil drilling platforms where cables are subject to frequent movement and high mechanical stress.

Product Overview

The TEBAOFLEX TRM-J 0.69/1.15kV mining rubber cable is a heavy-duty, flexible multi-conductor trailing cable designed for extreme mechanical stress in underground mining, tunneling, quarry, steel mill, and harbor applications. Manufactured to VDE 0250 Part 812, it combines high electrical performance with exceptional abrasion, oil, and weather resistance.

TRM-J vs TRMC-J — Side-by-Side Comparison

Parameter TRM-J TRMC-J
Standard VDE 0250 Part 812 Mining Safety Mark (MA)
Voltage Rating 0.69/1.15 kV (LV) Medium voltage capable
Construction Layers 6-layer 7-layer
Screening Single overall tinned copper braid (≥90%) Double screen: individual core screens (Cu/Nylon) + overall braid
Conductor Class 5 tinned copper Very finely stranded flexible copper (higher flex life)
Core Insulation EPR 3GI3 EPR 3G13
Outer Sheath 5GM3 synthetic thermosetting CR (Polychloroprene) — higher tear & oil resistance
Temp Range (Mobile) -25°C to +90°C -35°C to +60°C
Temp Range (Fixed) -40°C to +90°C -40°C to +80°C
OD (4×95mm²) 55.5 mm 60.0 mm
Weight (4×95mm²) 6,322 kg/km 7,156 kg/km
Primary Application General mining trailing, reeling, light/medium duty Extreme torsional stress, heavy continuous mining (drill rigs, stackers)
Target Voltage Range Low voltage preferred Low to medium voltage

Key Takeaway: TRM-J is a cost-effective LV solution with wider operating temperature range; TRMC-J uses double-screen and CR sheath for extreme torsional environments where mechanical abuse and EMI are primary concerns.
