RHEYFIRM®(RTS) (N)TSCGEWTOEUS Cable

Reeling Cables 1.8/3 (3.6) kV up to 18/30 (36) kV

Applications

Flexible reeling cable for energy supply. Especially for high and extreme mechanical stress, e.g. torsional stress and high reeling speed. For deflection into different planes. Also usable for festoon systems, open-cast and underground mining.

Main applications: Ship to Shore Cranes (STS), Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes (RMG), Ship Unloader, Stacker Reclaimer and other heavy mobile equipment.

Design

1. Conductor	Flexible, plain copper, “FSC” better than IEC 60228 class 5
2. Insulation	Inner semi-conductive layer New special insulation compound “RHEYCLEAN” based on EPDM, better than DIN VDE 207 part 20.Outer semi-conductive layer,“RHEYSTRIP”, easy strip design
3. Protective earth conductor	Flexible, plain copper, “FSC” better than IEC 60228 class 5
4. Semi-conductive layer
5. Inner sheath	Special synthetic rubber, better than GM1b
6. Reinforcement	Synthetic threads with very high tensile strength as a protection against twist stress and pressure loads
7. Outer sheath	New special sandwich construction for an optimum of flexibility, abrasion resistance and heavy load, special rubber ompound
Colour:	Red
