(N)TSCGECWÖU – TBM Medium Voltage Cable for Tunnel Boring Machines

(N)TSCGECWÖU – TBM Medium Voltage Cable for Tunnel Boring Machines is a TEBAOFLEX cable for the application and operating conditions identified in the original product record. (N)TSCGECWÖU TBM Cable is a medium voltage reeling power cable designed for tunnel boring machines, underground mining equipment and tunnel construction power supply systems. It combines flexible class 5 tinned copper conductors, EPR insulation, semiconductive field control layers and a red elastomeric outer sheath for demanding mobile operation. The source record places this product in mining & tunneling cables. Before ordering, confirm the exact product variant, conductor or core arrangement, system rating, route conditions, equipment connection and required documentation against the project specification. The requested (N)TSCGECWÖU – TBM Medium Voltage Cable for Tunnel Boring Machines should be evaluated as a complete cable assembly: review its intended equipment, conductor arrangement, installation method, movement duty, environment, terminations, dimensions and required documentation together. The V2 layout keeps the source-listed construction, application, technical and standard information available for a controlled engineering and procurement review. Use the Request Quote section to confirm the exact configuration, route conditions and documentation requirements before production or replacement ordering.

(N)TSCGECWÖU - TBM Medium Voltage Cable for Tunnel Boring Machines construction

Cable Construction

1. Conductors: Flexible tinned electrolytic copper conductor, DIN VDE 0295 class 5.
2. Insulation: 3GI3 type EPR compound for medium voltage operation.
3. Electrical field control: Inner and outer semiconductive rubber layers.
4. Control cores: Tinned copper conductors with semiconductive layer.
5. Protective earth conductor: Tinned copper and textile braiding combined cores laid concentrically around each power core.
6. Core identification: Main cores in natural color with black semiconductive rubber; control cores in black.
7. Lay-up: Three main conductors laid up with three control cores in the outer interstices.
8. Inner sheath: GM1b type EPR compound.
9. Overall concentric screen: Overall concentric layer of copper wire spinning.
10. Outer sheath: 5GM5 type elastomer compound, red.

Reference family: TENAX-H and TENAX-HP construction compared

Enquiries for this cable often arrive quoting the TENAX-H and TENAX-HP reference designations. In that reference family the layer sequence differs from a plain screened trailing cable in two ways worth checking against your specification, because both affect the earthing and monitoring interface rather than the current rating.

This comparison is given so that a reference designation can be matched layer by layer. It does not state that this product and the reference family are equivalent: the construction and dimensional data supplied for this cable are those tabulated in the Construction and Specifications sections above. For the armoured build with the additional galvanised steel wire braid see NTSCGECCWOEU armoured monitored mining cable, and for the separate-earth monitoring construction at 8.7/15 and 12/20 kV see (N)TSCGECECWÖU TBM reeling cable.

Reference note: for enquiries marked TENAX-H or NTSCGECWOEU, TEBAOFLEX manufactures to the (N)TSCGECWÖU designation and the construction shown, and is not affiliated with the trademark holder.

(N)TSCGECWÖU - TBM Medium Voltage Cable for Tunnel Boring Machines applications

Applications

• Power supply cable for tunnel boring machines.
• Medium voltage reeling cable for underground tunnel construction.
• Mobile power cable for underground mining equipment.
• Heavy-duty cable systems requiring flame retardance, oil resistance and mechanical flexibility.
• Project installations where cable diameter, weight, tensile load and bending behavior must be checked before supply.

Selection checks

Confirm the equipment interface, installation method, route length, movement or flexing duty, environmental exposure, conductor or core requirements and project documentation before final selection.

Reference designation cross-reference

This monitored TBM cable is catalogued under two reference names that differ only in whether an armour is present.

For the counterpart construction see NTSCGECCWOEU armoured monitored mining cable.

For the full list of reference designations and the TEBAOFLEX build each one maps to, see the mining cable designation cross-reference.

Trademark note: TENAX®, TROMMELFLEX®, FELTOFLEX® and SCHRÄM® are trademarks of their respective owners, and TEBAOFLEX is neither affiliated with those companies nor reselling their cable. What we supply is the equivalent construction: we manufacture to the same VDE type designation and published construction, and every designation listed here can be quoted and supplied as a TEBAOFLEX build. The names appear for identification only; the matching construction is made to the standards and construction confirmed for the order.
