Type 7 BS 6708 640/1100 V Coal Cutter Mining Cable

Type 7 for excavating, crushing and coal-cutting machines

Type 7 mining cable is specified in the supplied BS 6708 datasheet for excavating, crushing and coal-cutting machines. This page keeps the source-listed voltage, test reference, core functions and dimensional tables together so a procurement engineer can compare the requested model against the cable marking and the equipment connection. The editorial focus is the practical coal-cutter power route, not a generic promise of performance.

The supplied construction uses three individually screened phase cores, an unscreened pilot core and a bare earth conductor at the centre, with EPR insulation and a heavy-duty chloroprene sheath. That arrangement matters because The pilot is not screened; this is the key selection point against Type 7M, Type 7S and Type 11. The family should therefore be selected by model, core function and installation route as well as by voltage. The gamme de câbles pour l'exploitation minière et le creusement de tunnels provides the wider TEBAOFLEX product context.

• Choisir par : confirm that the equipment protection circuit expects an unscreened pilot and central bare earth conductor.
• Confirmez avant de commander : existing sheath marking, conductor area, cable length, route, support or handling system, terminations and the required inspection documents.
• Do not infer: values not listed in the supplied PDF, such as a different current basis, water/oil/UV performance, certification scope or mechanical interchangeability.

Before treating a neighbouring Type number as interchangeable, use the BS 6708 mining cable replacement guide to check the screened and unscreened pilot boundaries for a coal-cutter route.

For a technical quotation, send the equipment nameplate or existing cable marking, voltage and size requirement, installation conditions, quantity, destination and any project-specific test or documentation requirement.

Type 7 construction

The cross-section below is the supplied construction drawing for Type 7. The ordering decision is driven by The pilot is not screened; this is the key selection point against Type 7M, Type 7S and Type 11.

Source-listed construction

Do not use the drawing as a substitute for the dimensional tables. Confirm the cable end preparation, screen and earth termination, armour bonding and machine interface with the equipment documentation before installation.

Type 7 applications

The supplied datasheet identifies this cable for excavating, crushing and coal-cutting machines. Google result patterns for the BS 6708 family also separate cables by equipment duty, voltage class, core function and whether the route is armoured, screened, flat or auxiliary. That is why this page keeps the Type 7 construction separate from nearby Type numbers.

• Primary duty: excavating, crushing and coal-cutting machines.
• Model boundary: The pilot is not screened; this is the key selection point against Type 7M, Type 7S and Type 11.
• Project check: match the cable marking, core map, voltage, termination, route geometry and handling method to the machine drawing.
• Environmental review: confirm the actual mine/quarry conditions and any authority, inspection or documentation requirements; do not infer a certification or material-resistance claim from the model number.

When the equipment monitoring circuit calls for a screened pilot, compare this page with the Type 7M screened-pilot cable; the model change should be confirmed against the machine wiring diagram.

The cable should be released only after the equipment route, required length, conductor area, core functions and connection details are agreed. If the intended duty is different from the source-listed application, request an engineering review through the quotation process.

Type 7 specifications

The summary below identifies the supplied model family. The source-transcribed tables that follow retain the PDF's dimensional, electrical and construction values, including available sizes, resistance, current, diameter, mass, bending or pulling data when the PDF provides them.

Complete source-transcribed technical tables

Source PDF: BS6708_TYPE_7_640_1100V_CABLE_datasheet.pdf; 3 pages; 6 extracted tables. Values are not recalculated or replaced by third-party values.

Use the table values with the equipment drawing and approved termination plan. If the requested conductor area, current basis, mechanical limit or environmental condition is not listed in the supplied PDF, treat it as a quotation-stage confirmation item.

Type 7 standards and references

The product page preserves the BS 6708 reference appearing in the supplied PDF. The BSI record currently identifies BS 6708:1998 as withdrawn on 22 May 2026; this status note is a standards-reference update, not a claim that the product is currently certified or approved. See the official BSI BS 6708 scope record for the published status.

For an RFQ, state the required standard documents, inspection scope, test report, cable marking, destination rules and any replacement-equivalence requirement. The model number alone does not establish legal installation compliance.
