What Is (N)TSCGEWOEU Cable?
The (N)TSCGEWOEU cable is a medium voltage reeling and trailing cable designed for heavy-duty mining and industrial applications, manufactured to VDE 0250-813 standard. Rated for voltages from 3.6/6kV up to 18/30kV, it features EPR insulation, copper wire screening, polyester anti-torsion braid, and a rugged rubber outer sheath. The “(N)” designation indicates neoprene (polychloroprene) rubber sheath, “TSCG” indicates mining cable type with screened construction, and “EWOEU” denotes EPR insulation with copper wire screen and rubber sheath.
TEBAOFLEX manufactures the complete (N)TSCGEWOEU cable family including standard MT, compact MT PLUS, VFD-optimized EMV FC, heavy-duty TR, and fibre optic integrated variants. View our (N)TSCGEWOEU 3+3 trailing cable product page for detailed specifications.
(N)TSCGEWOEU Cable Construction
The (N)TSCGEWOEU features a robust multi-layer construction engineered for the extreme mechanical and electrical demands of medium voltage mining operations:
Conductor
- Material: Tinned copper (Class 5 per IEC 60228 / VDE 0295)
- Type: Fine-stranded flexible copper conductor for repeated flexing
- Configuration: 3 power cores + 3 earth cores (3+3 design) for balanced impedance
- Sizes: 35mm² to 240mm² per core
Insulation
- Material: EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) — high dielectric strength and thermal stability
- Rating: 3.6/6kV to 18/30kV depending on variant
- Insulation thickness: Per VDE 0250-813, varies by voltage level (typically 2.5mm to 5.5mm)
Screening
- Conductor screen: Semi-conductive layer over each power core for uniform electrical field distribution
- Core screen: Copper wire braid over each insulated core
- Overall screen: Copper wire braided screen over the laid-up cores
Anti-Torsion Layer
- Material: High-tenacity polyester braid
- Function: Provides torsional stability during reeling/unreeling cycles, prevents cable twist damage
Outer Sheath
- Material: Heavy-duty PCP (polychloroprene) or CSM rubber compound
- Color: Red (standard MT), Black (TR version), or custom per request
- Properties: Exceptional abrasion resistance, UV resistant, oil resistant, flame retardant
- Temperature range: -25°C to +80°C
