(N)TSCGEWÖU MT 3.6/6kV – 12/20kV MV Reeling Cable | Standard Grade

(N)TSCGEWÖU MT is the standard grade medium voltage flexible reeling cable designed for high mechanical stresses in mining, port, and heavy industrial applications. Manufactured by TEBAOFLEX to VDE 0250-813, it features a 3 power + 3 earth core configuration with EPR 3GI3 insulation, semi-conductive layers for voltage stress control, polyester anti-torsion braid, and 5GM3/5GM5 heavy-duty rubber outer sheath. Rated from 3.6/6kV to 12/20kV with 20 N/mm² tensile capacity and ±25°/m torsional stability, it is the baseline MV reeling cable from which all TEBAOFLEX variants (MT PLUS, SR, TR, FO) are derived.

(N)TSCGEWÖU MT — TEBAOFLEX Standard MV Reeling Cable

What (N)TSCGEWÖU MT Means

The VDE 0250-813 designation breaks down as follows:

Letter German Meaning
(N) Überwachungsleiter With monitoring conductor
T Trommel Reeling / drum
S Schlauch Rubber sheath
C Mit With
G Schutzleiter Earth conductor
E Einzelschirm Individual screen
