(N)3GHSSHCH Cable for Shiftable Mining and Tunnel Equipment
(N)3GHSSHCH cable is a flexible medium-voltage power cable for shiftable equipment and feeder connections in mines, tunnels and underground construction. The supplied range covers 3.6/6 kV, 6/10 kV, 8.7/15 kV and 12/20 kV size data, with separate 18/30 kV voltage and test references. Class 5 copper conductors, EPR insulation, semiconductive field-control layers, protective and monitoring conductors, steel-wire braid and a halogen-free flame-retardant sheath combine electrical control with mechanical protection.
Select this construction where a mining or tunnelling route needs a screened, monitored MV cable that can tolerate movement within the stated temperature, torsion, travel-speed and direction-change limits. It is not an automatic substitute for a continuous high-speed reeling cable or a submersible cable; confirm the movement pattern, route and environmental exposure before ordering.
- Suitable for: shiftable MV mining equipment, tunnel systems and transformer feeder connections.
- Confirm before ordering: Uo/U voltage, phase size, protective and control-core arrangement, cable length and route.
- Mechanical inputs: movement frequency, bend path, torsion, travel speed and pulling load.
- Documentation: required standards, tests, marking, inspection and packing.
Review the mining and tunneling cable range or use the TBM cable selection guide when the route includes a cable reel or moving tunnel-boring equipment.
(N)3GHSSHCH Cable Construction
The construction places field-control, protective and monitoring elements around flexible EPR-insulated power cores, then adds halogen-free inner layers and steel-wire braid. This arrangement is intended for medium-voltage mining and tunnelling routes where the cable must combine electrical screening with controlled movement and mechanical protection.
| Layer or element | Supplied construction | Selection meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Phase conductor | Flexible electrolytic copper, DIN VDE 0295 Class 5 | Supports routing and movement within the stated mechanical limits. |
| Phase insulation | 3GI3 EPR compound | Provides the primary medium-voltage insulation layer. |
| Electrical field control | Extruded semiconductive rubber layers; the 3.6/6 kV construction uses the listed outer semiconductive layer arrangement | Controls the electric field around the insulated phase cores. |
| Protective conductors | Plain copper wires or copper-wire braiding laid concentrically around each main core | Integrates the protective conductor arrangement with the phase-core build. |
| Pilot/control cores | 3GI3 EPR-insulated, black and number coded, positioned in the outer interstices | Provides the listed control or pilot path within the cable assembly. |
| Inner sheath | Halogen-free flame-retardant HFFR compound | Separates and supports the inner cable elements. |
| Monitoring conductor | Semiconductive tape, concentric copper wires and synthetic tape | Provides the supplied monitoring path around the inner assembly. |
| Armour | Galvanized steel-wire braid, minimum 75% coverage | Adds mechanical reinforcement for demanding mine and tunnel routes. |
| Outer sheath | Halogen-free flame-retardant HFFR compound; red or black | Specify sheath colour and project marking with the quotation. |
Construction Checks for a Replacement Cable
Do not cross-reference by voltage and conductor size alone. Compare the protective-conductor layout, pilot/control cores, monitoring conductor, field-control layers, braid, outer diameter and movement limits against the existing cable marking and equipment requirements.
(N)3GHSSHCH Mining Cable Applications
This cable is used as a medium-voltage power connection where mining or tunnelling equipment is shifted during operation or where a robust monitored feeder is needed between electrical equipment. The final choice depends on the route, movement and equipment interface, not only the voltage class.
- Shiftable underground mining machines and mobile operating equipment.
- Tunnel construction and excavation equipment power supply.
- Medium-voltage feeder connections for underground transformers and distribution equipment.
- Mine and tunnel routes requiring protective, pilot/control and monitoring conductors.
- Installations requiring a halogen-free flame-retardant sheath and steel-wire braid.
Movement and Route Boundaries
Use the supplied limits as engineering inputs: +5°C to +80°C for mobile service, maximum travel speed 30 m/min, maximum torsion 25 deg/m, maximum tensile load 15 N/mm² and a 20 x cable-diameter minimum direction-change distance. Confirm rollers, sheaves, pulling method and reversal frequency. Choose a purpose-designed reeling cable for continuous drum duty and a separately qualified construction for immersion or other conditions not stated in the supplied data.
Information Needed for an RFQ
Provide Uo/U voltage, phase-conductor size, protective and control-core arrangement, installed and moving length, equipment, movement cycle, minimum bend path, pulling load, sheath colour, marking, standard and inspection requirements.
