Determination of the cable drum size by graphical
means
The technically appropriate size of the cable drum can be determined
by means of the table below. It is thus possible to determine
the correct size of the cable drum for the cable on order at an early
stage in order to clarify all relevant questions such as the storage
area requirement and the suitability of transportation equipment.
Cable length in m
Determination
of the cable drum size
General Details
“Technically appropriate“ signifies that the cable drum can take up
the cable in a manner suitable for transport without damage (e.g.
pinching, deformation, breakage due to excessive bending).
In the diagram below the cable diameter in [mm] is plotted on the
horizontal axis and the cable length in [m] on the vertical axis. The areas
within the diagram (e.g. 71, 81, and so on) indicate the suitable
size of the cable drum for the combination of cable length and cable
diameter. The limits for the various sizes of cable drums are given by
the curves. If one of the values lies directly on one of the curves, the
next larger size of cable drum should be selected.

Fibre-Optic Sealing Ends
for OPTOFLEX Cables
Sealing end used for PROTOLON flexible cables with integrated fibre-optics
both in combination with the previously mentioned power sealing ends (lead
out of the fibre-optic element from the splitting filler of the power sealing end
by means of a plastic ribbed protection sleeve) or as sealing end for
OPTOFLEX cables.
Plastic ribbed Electrically insulated (since it is often used in close proximity to H.V. cores)
protection sleeve Advantages: Immune to transverse pressure, extremely flexible
(minimum bending radius: 125 mm) and therefore especially suitable for
restricted and confined areas.
Fibre-optic Plastic conduit Length approx. 70 mm, diameter 20 mm (for PG 21) filled with cast-resin.

sealing end
General
Advantages: The fibre-optic element is completely sealed against moisture,
the “round design“ of the cable elements is maintained.
Immune to transverse pressure and therefore suitable for standard PG
glands.
Special covering Reinforced with Kevlar rovings. Outer diameter approx. 4 mm.
(orange colour) Advantages: Simple installation (fibre-optics can be handled like “control
cores“); signal effect (orange colour) since fibre-optic connections are
involved.
Minimum bending radius 60 mm.
Safe stress relief: The Kevlar rovings are attached to the fibre-optic connector
shaft via the crimp lug barrel and cast at the other end in the fibre-optic
splitting element in order to keep away tensile forces from the fibres reliably
and safely.
ST connector The ST connector has been accepted and proven in practice; SMA, FC-PC
and E2000 connectors can also be supplied.
Advantages: The ST connector is standardized to IEC-SC 86B and is therefore
compatible with fibre-optic components without the necessity for
time-consuming technical clarification.
Connector surfaces are finished with a special polishing machine in order to
achieve a uniform quality. Subjective evaluation criteria are thus unnecessary.
l Robust and therefore able to withstand the normal vibrations and temperature variations on
material handling equipment.
l Weather resistant and sealed against moisture and dust
l Safe stress relief of the fibres
l No specialists required for installation and plug-in
l Insertion via PG 21 gland possible, whereby the degree of protection can be maintained
l No parts, which can be lost, such as screws, etc.
l No metallic components, i.e. absolute electrical isolation

Connection Systems
Medium-voltage connector
Medium-voltage plug connectors
are employed where the cable is to be
directly connected to existing post insulator
bushings, MV switchgear or similar
equipment. Both inner cone connectors
or outer cone connectors according to
DIN VDE 0278 can be assembled.
In the case of multi-core cables, a filler
splitter is provided and the three main
conductors are supplied with an assembled
medium-voltage connector.
Medium-voltage 3-phase plug connector
Medium-voltage 3-phase plug connectors
are employed for numerous
open-cast mining and tunnel construction
applications.
These plug connectors are suitable for
stringent conditions and are enclosed
and protected against accidental contact.
Contacts for the three phases and
the protective-earth conductor in addition
to numerous control cores and monitoring
conductor are provided in a plug
connector housing.
The advantage of this system lies in the
rapid connection capability and the suitability
for use under strenuous service
conditions.
Medium-voltage transition sleeve
In numerous plants, it is necessary to directly
connect a cable laid in earth with
the power supply trailing cable for mobile
equipment (excavators, cranes, etc.).
An extremely variable connection technique
is available for use in such cases. It
is thus possible to connect various types
of power supply cables (single-core,
multi-core, differing cross-sections) to the
flexible trailing cables. In these cases the
cable connection is crimped and the
semiconductive layers and insulation are
joined using cold bond-wrapping techniques
and combined to a cast sleeve
using flexible cast-resin.
BUIS_062.eps
HA40049a.tif
In addition to the standard connection
techniques via sealing ends, a number
of other connection techniques
are available for special applications
involving PROTOLON flexible cables.

Vulcanizing machine
The use of a vulcanizing
machine is indispensable
for the repair of
rubber-sheathed flexible
cables. The repair
points are vulcanized at
a vulcanizing temperature
of 200 °C and thus
achieve the elastomeric
properties of the original
cable.
The vulcanizing
machine is a special
design, by means of
which cores and cables
of any length up to a
max. length of 120 mm
can be processed. The
necessary repair
materials and
vulcanizing materials
can be ordered in the
quantities required.

Design regulations
The summary in table 4/1 (page 4/5) shows all the design regulations/standards,
according to which the flexible electric cables
for mining applications are designed and manufactured. The
following distinctions are made between national and international
regulations:
National standard
DIN VDE (DIN = German Standards Institute; VDE = Association
of German Electrical Engineers)
Germany is the only country which has issued special design
regulations for flexible electric cables for mining applications.
The 1 kV tough rubber-sheathed flexible reeling cables
CORDAFLEX NSHTÖU, the trailing cables PROTOLON
NTS..WÖU and the rubber-sheathed flexible cables NSSHÖU
are described and standardized in DIN VDE 0250. This set of
standards has found recognition in Europe and in many
countries outside Europe and is accepted as or specified as
“state of the art“.
No such design regulations exist for the MSR Mining and
OPTOPLEX cables. These are Pirelli special cables, the design
of which is based on existing design regulations or general regulations
of DIN VDE.
International standard
For use on an international level, some design features of flexible
electric cables for mining applications covered by DIN VDE
are also listed or certified in line with MSHA.
MSHA = Mine Safety and Health Administration
The MSHA listing was specially issued for the corresponding
flexible electric cables by the “Deep Mine Safety“ office at
Harrisburg, USA. The flame-retardant behaviour of the cables
was tested.
WUG = Approval of the Polish Mining Inspectorate, necessary
for use of cables in Polish mines.

in accordance with the application for
which they are intended (cable guidance system)
and in accordance with the expected
operation and installation conditions.
If necessary, the cables are to be protected
against mechanical, thermal or chemical influences
and also against the penetration of
moisture from the ends of the cables.
Flexible electric cables for mining applications
must not be installed in the ground. Ducts
through fire barriers in the form of sand, etc,
or temporary covering with soil, sand or similar
material, e.g. on construction sites and in
open-cast mines, do not count as being in
the ground.
In general, fixing materials must not damage
the flexible electric cables.
Flexible electric cables have to be relieved of
tension when they are connected to mobile
equipment and must be secured to prevent
them from twisting, sharp bending and axial
compression. The sheaths of the flexible electric
cables must not be damaged at the entries
or by the stress-relief devices.
Table 4/3 shows the mechanical stressability
and the normal applications of flexible electric
cables for mining applications.

Installation of reeling cables
To ensure proper and fault-free operation
of flexible electric reeling cables for mining
applications such as PROTOLON and
CORDAFLEX, it is necessary to observe
certain rules for cable attachment (installation
on the operating drum).
The cable can be directly wound from the
supply drum to the operating drum. Pulling
off the drum and laying stretched on the
ground or “dekinking“ prior to taking up
the cable on the operating drum should
not be carried out.
The direction of lay employed in manufacture
of power cables is always left-hand
(S-type). It is therefore recommended that
the start of the winding of reeling power
cables on cylindrical reels should always
be at the left side.
This measure ensures a clean and correct
winding pattern, even when no guidance
helical slot has been provided on the reel
body.
The direction of lay employed in manufacture
of control cables is always
right-hand, for which reason such cables
should be operated with the start of the
winding at the right side.

Centre feeding point
In many installations, e.g. bunkering
equipment, the power
infeed point is located at the
centre of the guideway. The
flexible electric reeling cables
such as CORDAFLEX and
PROTOLON (M)-R are normally
connected through underfloor
infeeds (Fig. 4/3).
In order to achieve effective
strain relief in conjunction with
cable-wear minimizing deflection
from the infeed point, we
recommend the use of underfloor
infeeds (Fig. 4/4). It is
important that the specified
bending radius be maintained
and that the cable be fastened
at the compensation cylinder by
means of a clip, which, however,
should be attached only
after the 2 nd winding.

Transport of mining-type cables into underground mines
In view of the tight and narrow conditions which exist in underground
mines, transport of mining-type cables into such underground mines
requires special handling. In cases where, due to the large diameter,
the cable cannot be transported on the supply drum to the vicinity of
the longwall, transport must be effected using transport containers.
For this purpose the cable is laid into the transport container in “8"
shaped loops (Fig. 4/5).
In the case of PROTOMONT (Z) and PROTOMONT (V) coal cutter cables
in particular, no torsional stress may be applied to the cable when
pulling it out, since this
would have a negative
effect on the operating
performance and service
life of the cable. For
this reason the cable
must be pulled out beginning
at the insertion
end and care must be
taken to ensure that no
loops are formed, which
on further pulling of the
cable could lead to
twisting of the cable.
In addition care must be
taken to ensure that the
bending radius is
maintained and that the
permissible tensile
forces are not exceeded
on transportation to the
longwall. The best
method for stressminimizing
is to carry
the cable by hand, although
this is the most
cumbersome method.

Laying instructions for OPTOFLEX (M) cables
OPTOFLEX (M) fibre-optic cables are designed for the severe
operating conditions prevailing in mining applications.
However, maintenance of the desired transmission characteristics
is also dependent on a number of factors, which must be taken
into account for laying and installation.
Tensile load
Bending radius
Pinching stress
Torsional stress
The permissible tensile load of
2000 N may not be exceeded
during laying. Special care must
be taken in this regard, where the
cable is supplied in long supply
lengths and is pulled off axially
from the supply drum. The
thereby occurring acceleration
forces of the drum must under no
circumstances be transmitted
through the cable.
Laying of the cable must be carried
out in such a manner that the
minimum bending radius of
50 mm is maintained under all circumstances.
In particular, on entry
into equipment and switchgear
cubicles care must be taken to
ensure that kinking of the cable
does not occur.
Care must be taken to ensure
that, when the cable is fastened
by means of cable clips, cable
binding bands, etc, the permissible
transverse pressure forces are
not exceeded. In the course of
appropriate pinching stress tests
a limit value of 300 N/cm was determined,
up to which value no increase
in attenuation was
detected.
On laying OPTOFLEX cables,
care must be taken to ensure that
impermissible torsional stresses
are not applied to the cables. Under
no circumstances may the
cable be drawn from the ring or
the drum “head over heels“, since
otherwise a torsion through 360 °
would occur for each turn of the
cable.

Stripping semiconductive layers from PROTOLON (SB) and PROTOLON (ST) cables
In the case of PROTOLON trailing cables, the semiconductive rubber
layer over the insulation must be stripped carefully in order to
mount the cable sealing end. To this end, the stripping point is
marked and a circular indentation is made on the cable by slightly
pressing a pipe cutter (Fig. 4/7).
Make a notch at the stripping point by means of a triangularsection
file while bending the cable slightly. It is important hereby
that the bright core insulation should not be damaged (Fig. 4/8).
Carefully cut through
approx. 2/3 of the
semiconductive rubber
layer using between 2 to
4 longitudinal cuts. Warm
the core end slightly using
a propane gas flame and
lift off the semiconductive
layer at the end of the
core using a wood rasp.
Strip off the semiconductor
layer in strips and remove
it completely
(Fig. 4/9).
Remark
Problems can arise
when stripping off the
semiconductive layer
due to tearing out of part
of the insulation layer. If
this happens, the stripping
procedure must be
begun from the opposite
side. Use a smooth file,
where necessary.
Stripping semiconductive layers from PROTOLON (M) cables
The distinguishing feature of these cables is the cold-strippable
semiconductive layer. In this case heating by means of a propane
gas flame can be completely dispensed with. The work sequence
should otherwise be carried out as described above.

Determination of the sag on mast mounting
Both in open-cast mines and also in other industrial applications
(e.g. construction sites) flexible cables must sometimes be suspended
above guideways (Fig. 4/10).
In such cases maintenance of the minimum permissible bending
radius at the cable suspension point and of the max. permissible
tensile force for each type of cable design must be observed.
As an aid to planning of cable installation, the following three diagrams
are provided, which depict the sag as a function of the
span.
In the case of PROTOLON trailing cables for the main voltage levels
of 3.6/6 kV; 6/10 kV and 8.7/15 kV, the sag should be taken
from the diagram for the desired span. A max. permissible tensile
load of 15 N/mm2 Fig. 4/10
has been incorporated as a parameter in
the diagram.

Electrical parameters
Voltages
For the rated, operating and test voltages of cables, the definitions
given in DIN VDE 0298, Part 3, apply. Some of these are
mentioned in table 4/5 below.
AC - alternating current
DC - direct current
Rated voltage
The rated voltage of an insulated electric cable is the voltage
which is used as the basis for the design and the testing of the
cable with regard to its electrical characteristics.
The rated voltage is expressed by the two values of power frequency
voltage U0/U in V.
U0 rms value between one conductor and “earth“
U rms value between two conductors of a multi-core cable
or of a system of single-core cables
In a system with AC voltage, the rated voltage of a cable must be
at least equal to the rated voltage of the system for which it is
used. This requirement applies both to the value U0 and the
value U.
In a system with DC voltage, its rated voltage must not be more
than 1.5 times the value of the rated voltage of the cable.
Operating voltage
The operating voltage is the voltage applied between the conductors
and earth of a power installation with respect to time and
place with trouble-free operation.

l Cables in DC installations
If the cables are used in DC installations, the continuously permissible
DC operating voltage between the conductors must not
exceed 1.5 times the value of the permissible AC operating voltage.
In single-phase earthed DC installations, this value should
be multiplied by a factor of 0.5.

Test voltage
Regarding the test voltage of flexible cables, the values given in
the corresponding parts of DIN VDE 0250 apply. If the relevant
shield is missing, as for example with CORDAFLEX and
PROTOMONT cables,”core against core” is tested in appropriate
combinations. The values are to be regarded as AC test voltages
(unless stated otherwise) for single-phase testing, i.e. the AC test
voltage is applied between the core and the corresponding
shielding (e.g. semiconductive layer, earth conductor, shield).
Telecommunication cores (pairs) and other shielded pairs (e.g.
(2x1)C) are tested “core against core“ and “core against shield“
whereby the test voltages are correspondingly different.
With single-core cables without shielding, the corresponding
opposite pole is a water bath.

Thermal parameters
The different temperature limits of the individual flexible electric
cables for mining applications are summarized in table 4/12.
Under no circumstances may the values shown be exceeded
due to interaction of internal Joule heat and the ambient temperature.
If cables are exposed to radiation, e.g. sunlight, the temperature
of the outer sheath of the flexible electric cable can rise to a level
which is significantly higher than the ambient temperature. This
situation must be compensated for by corresponding reduction
of the current-carrying capacity.
The temperatures on the surface of the cable are limits for the
ambient temperature.
Temperature limits
All insulating and sheathing compounds of the flexible electric cables
become stiffer as the temperature drops. If the temperature
falls below the specified limit, a point can be reached below which
the compounds used become brittle.
In addition to this, more force (sometimes considerably more) is
needed for bending a flexible electric cable due to the increase of
stiffness of the insulating and sheathing compounds at lower
temperatures. This can create problems in the use of the flexible
electric cables (e.g. with the reel drive).

The temperature limits on the surface of the cable are specified to ensure
problem-free and healthy operation during forced guidance of flexible electric
cables for mining applications, especially while trailing over ground and during
reeling operation.
Higher temperatures influence the hardness, abrasion, resistance to tear
propagation and the transverse pressure stability of the insulating and
sheathing compounds and can thus lead to a reduction of their service life.
Flexible electric cables should be selected, installed and operated so that the
expected dissipation of Joule heat is not hindered in any way and therefore
no risk of fire is incurred.

Mechanical parameters
Tensile loads
The tensile loads of copper conductors in flexible electric cables for mining applications as specified by
DIN VDE 0298, Part 3, should not exceed 15N/mm². However, higher values are allowed for some cables
as shown in table 4/13. These values refer to tensile load only.
These maximum permissible limits of tensile load are to be regarded as the sum of the static and dynamic
loads.
When the permissible tensile force is being calculated, shields, concentric conductors and split protective-earth
conductors as well as integrated control cores and monitoring cores of power cables must
not be included in the calculation.
For higher tensile loads, appropriate steps have to be taken such as increasing the bending radii or
using special cable designs with stress relieving support elements. In some cases, a shorter service life
can be expected. In this case, the cable manufacturer should be consulted.
The maximum permissible tensile load for installing fixed laying flexible cables is 50 N/mm² referred
to the cross-section of the conductor.

Torsional stresses
As a general rule the torsional stresses occurring during operation of flexible electric cables for mining
applications are low. In certain applications, such as for example laying on large mobile equipment
(cable booms), torsional stresses are unavoidable.
The maximum permissible torsional stresses which occur during operation at entries, slewing gears,
windmills, etc., are summarized in table 4/14.
If the limits are exceeded, this can lead to a reduction in service life. In critical cases, the cable
manufacturer should be consulted.
Torsional stresses created by the systems involved (e.g. due to misalignment of cable guidance systems,
oblique cable pay out) should be avoided and are not included here.

If the bending radii are smaller than those permitted, a reduced

The values given in table 4/15 should be taken as a basis.
The minimum bending radii are shown as the product of the overall
diameter of the cable and a factor, which is dependent on the

Travel speeds
Flexible electric cables for mining applications are intended for
use on mobile equipment and are designed to cope with the
technical requirements of the application.
In order to collect, pay out and move flexible electric cables, there
are different cable guidance systems such as reels, drum cars,
power tracks, sheave guided cable storage systems as well as
sheaves and multi-roller guides.
Mining equipment and consequently also the cable guidance
systems are operated at different travel speeds and are therefore
subjected to stress which can vary from low to very high.
During operation of the mobile equipment, the flexible electric
cables are subjected to stress such as tension, transverse
pressure, torsion and bending. Thus, the travel speed and the
acceleration are to be considered as indirect criteria for the
stresses applied to the flexible electric cables.

Mechanical parameters
Additional tests
Adequate testing of the good operating
characteristics needed for flexible electric
cables for mining applications is not possible
with the tests specified by DIN VDE.
Pirelli flexible electric cables for mining
applications are therefore subjected to additional
and continuous mechanical tests
at the manufacturer’s works (Kabel- und
Leitungswerk at Neustadt near Coburg).
These additional tests facilitate
time-compressed examination of the running
and service characteristics under different
kinds of mechanical stress, such as
reversed bending strength, running over
sheaves, flexing work and reeling operation
in relation to tensile load and bending radii.
The additional tests can be seen
in tables 4/17 and 4/18.

Sheath shifting test
Flexible electric cables for mining applications
are generally stressed by dragging over the
underground in open-cast mining applications.
The test determines the magnitude of the
force required to slide the sheath along the
core.
Transverse pressure test
This test demonstrates the behaviour of
electric cables subjected to transverse
pressure, e.g. as a result of jamming in plant
components, being hit by falling stones
(blocks of stone), etc.
The test is passed when no electrical event
occurs up to the specified value (earth-fault
or short-circuit).
Welding beads test
During constructional and maintenance work
on large mobile equipment such as excavators,
putting-down machines, etc., welding
beads can fall on previously installed electric
cables. This test verifies the resistance of the
outer sheath to such stresses.
Brine resistance
Automatic material handling and reloading installations
(e.g. bunkering and blending
plants) are sprayed with brine to prevent
them from freezing in order to guarantee
smooth trouble-free operation in winter. This
test verifies the resistance of the outer sheath
of mining-type cables to such stresses.
Water resistance
On operation of flexible electric cables for
mining applications, the possibility that they
will be operated over considerable periods of
time in water cannot be excluded. Verification
of the resistance to water is carried out according
to harmonization document HD
22.16.

Additional tests
Table 4/19 depicts the test conditions for
the individual flexible electric cables for
mining applications. Under the severe conditions
in mining operation, cables are subjected
to considerable mechanical
stresses, which by far exceed those defined
in the requirement profile according
to the VDE standards. These additional
tests assure compliance with the special
requirement profile for mining applications
and document the suitability of our electric
cables for all applications in open-cast and
underground mines in a convincing manner.
The tensile loads and the bending and
sheave radii are specified and the minimum
number of cycles which must be
achieved. The decisive criterion for passing
the mechanical test is the number of individual
broken wires in the copper conductor
and/or non-continuity of the electrical
conductor. In the roller bending tests type
A and B, the degree of deformation (corkscrewing
effect) is tested additionally.

Conductors
Conductors for flexible electric cables are designed
according to DIN VDE 0295. Nowadays, the conductors
are made of copper (Cu). Aluminium and
other materials have not found general acceptance.
An overview of the common kinds of conductors is
shown in table 4/21.
In many countries, the design of the conductors according
to DIN VDE 0295 is accepted. The regulation
corresponds to CENELEC HD 383.S2 and
IEC 228.
The conductor classes F, FS and FF are employed
for flexible electric cables for mining applications.
The conductor classes are divided into nominal
cross-sections. The individual conductor classes F,
FS and FF and the nominal cross-sections are defined
by specification of the maximum diameter of
the single wires and by the maximum resistance of
the conductor at 20 °C (see also table 4/22).
These flexible conductors are made of bare or
tinned annealed copper. The conductors are constructed
of many single wires, all of which must
have the same diameter.
The conductors used in flexible electric cables for
mining applications are summarized in table 4/23.
The conductor for

Conductors
Fig. 4/17 shows the design elements of a conductor for flexible
electric cables for mining applications. Depending on the
cross-section of the conductor, a flexible conductor consists of
one or more strands which are laid up around a central strand in
several layers. In the diagram, six individual strands (second
layer) are laid up around a central strand (first layer). A third layer
would then be made from 6 + 6 = 12 individual strands, arranged
around the second layer.
The strands of the flexible conductors consist of many single
wires bunched together. The single wires can be laid up
(bunched) to the right or left, thus determining the direction of
lay. This is shown in Fig. 4/18 as the Z direction of lay (right) or
the S direction of lay (left).
This also applies to a conductor which is laid up of single
strands.
The conductor design and the nominal cross-section of the flexible
F, FS and FF conductors for flexible electric cables are usually
as shows in table 4/24.
Depending on the combination of the individual design elements
of a conductor, there are three basic types of conductors (see
table 4/25):
The main advantage of the uniform-lay conductor is its high
flexibility. As a result of its design, the conductor also has a
smaller diameter than other types of conductors. Disadvantages
are its susceptibility to torsional loads (unstable) and its poor resistance
to axial compression and sharp bending.
The alternating-lay conductor is very stable with respect to
torsional loads and is not sensitive to axial compression and
sharp bending. A disadvantage is its relatively low flexibility. As a
result of its design the many crossing points of the single wires
cause a lot of friction, which can lead to early breaking of the
conductor, as compared to the other two types of conductors.
The alternating-lay conductor has the largest diameter compared
to the other two types of conductors.
The design of the opposite-lay conductor best meets the
requirements of flexible electric cables for mining applications. It
combines the advantages of both the uniform-lay conductor and
the alternating-lay conductor without any of their disadvantages.
This conductor is highly flexible, remains stable with respect to
torsional loads and exhibits high axial compession and sharp
bending strength. It has proven its excellent characteristics in
many years of practice. The opposite-lay conductor is used for
CORDAFLEX, PROTOMONT, SUPROMONT and PROTOLON.

Compounds
In table 4/27, the compounds normally used for flexible electric
cables for mining applications are compared to the compounds
specified for these cables by DIN VDE standards.
In many cases, a compound of a higher quality is used than that
specified by DIN VDE standards.
Nowadays, the insulating and sheathing compounds of flexible
electric cables are made almost exclusively of elastomeric materials.
Thermoplastic materials have not been widely accepted.
The great advantage of elastomers under heavy-duty operating
conditions lies in their very good mechanical properties, such as
reversible (elastic) force-elongation characteristic and their high
resistance to abrasion and tear propagation. In addition, these
compounds are excellently suited for unrestricted use outdoors.
They are characterized by their good resistance to the weather,
temperature variations, chemicals and their flame retardance.

Furthermore, elastomeric materials can be adapted to match
their technical properties for particular applications.
The elastomer EPR / EPDM with its high resistance to ozone and
UV and its superior flexibility under cold conditions combined with
excellent electrical characteristics is worthy of special mention as
an insulating material. CORDAFLEX, PROTOLON, PROTOMONT
and SUPPROMONT employ this insulation material.
The tough, flame-retardant and weather-resistant PCP is a
tried-and-tested sheathing compound for flexible electric cables.
This sheathing compound is used in 5GM3 and 5GM5 quality for
CORDAFLEX, PROTOLON, PROTOMONT and OPTOFLEX cables.
Exceptions are PROTOMONT MSR-Mining and SUPROMONT
cables. Here, compounds such as PVC and PE are used, which
on account of their technical properties have been selected for
these flexible cables for particular applications.

Shield
The shield is a “barrier” against electromagnetic fields and protects
electric signals against external signals. The aim is to
weaken or stop unwanted signals to such an extent that the
wanted data signals can be transmitted without interference in
the endangered signalling conductor. There are three basic types
of shield structure:
l Overall shield over several cores
l Shielded pairs
l Individually shielded cores.
An overall sheath over several cores, which as a rule is situated
between the inner and outer sheath of a cable, has not found
general acceptance for reeling cables, because as a result of frequent
bending the tensile and pressure forces within the cable
lead to premature destruction of the shields and to failure of the
cable.
Shielded pairs and individually shielded cores, on the other hand,
have proven themselves in practice and are successfully used in
CORDAFLEX, PROTOLON and PROTOMONT cables.
Braided screens are characterized by their transfer impedance
which is defined as the ratio of the voltage drop along the shield
on the interfered side to the parasitic current on the other side.
The transfer impedance RK (DIN 40500) is given for a specific frequency
in mΩ/m and is usually plotted with respect to frequency.
The lower the transfer impedance of a shield, the better the
screening effect. The transfer impedance of the braided screens
usually used for flexible electric cables for mining applications is
optimized at 30 MHz and is therefore focussed on
data-processing quality.
A typical transfer impedance characteristic is shown in the diagram
in Fig. 4/19.

Electrical field control with cables
The cores of PROTOLON trailing cables of voltage level 6 kV and
above are always equipped with inner and outer semiconductive
layers made of semiconductive rubber.
The inner and outer semiconductive layers are extruded with the
insulation in a single-pass operation. Secure bonding to the insulation
is obtained as a result of this method of extrusion.
The inner semiconductive layer prevents build-up of excessive
electrical field strength at the individual wires of the flexible conductor
and partial discharges between the conductor and the insulation.
The outer semiconductive layer serves as a core shield and performs
the following tasks:
l Protection against electric shock
l Avoidance of partial discharges in the conductor assembly
l Generation of the radial electrical field in the insulation
l Discharge of current in the event of a fault.
The core shield is thus an integral component of the protective-earth
conductor.
The resistance between the protective-earth conductor and any
point on the outer semiconductive layer must not exceed 500 Ω.
The protective-earth conductor, which touches the core shield, is
covered with semiconductive rubber and ensures longitudinal
conductivity of the system. Fig. 4/20 shows the cross-section of
a PROTOLON trailing cable with inner and outer semiconductive
layers.
In addition to the electrical requirements, the core shield in flexible
electric cables for mining applications must also be able to cope
with the high (sometimes very high) mechanical stresses.
Metal shields are more liable to become defective when used in
flexible electric cables for mining applications and are inferior to
shields made of semiconductive rubber material.
Electrical field control in hybrid sealing ends
In order to control the electrical field in medium-voltage cables
such as PROTOLON trailing cables, use of an inner
semiconductive layer is required, which is applied as a smoothing
layer directly on the metallic conductor, the insulation covering
and the outer semiconductive layer, which is in contact with the
protective-earth conductor. In cable systems the sealing ends are
assigned the task of containing the electrical field. Our hybrid
sealing ends, which are specially designed for the operational requirements
of flexible electric cables for mining applications, operate
on the principle of resistive electrical field control, which
achieves potential reduction as a result of the ohmic and capacitive
characteristics and thus reduces the electrical field strength
to an acceptable level over the length of the serving.

Core arrangement
The basic criteria of the core arrangement
for flexible electric cables for mining
applications are summarized in the adjacent
table.
In round flexible electric cables, the individual
cores are arranged by laying them up.
Up to four cores are laid up without a central
element. Five cores and above are laid
up around a centre, which can also consist
of three-core stranded elements.
A stretched core in the centre of the flexible
cable (as the actual centre or placed in the
centre) is not permitted according to the
DIN VDE standards. A stretched core at the
centre of the flexible cable would quickly result
in premature failure of the conductor
due to breakage, especially in flexible electric
cables for mining applications.
A maximum of three core layers is best for
the conductor assembly. Investigations
have shown that, if there are more than
three layers, the internal stability of the flexible
cable and in consequence the service
life is reduced as a result of increasing secondary
and relative forces between the
cores.
The length of lay S is a design feature used
for laying up the conductor assembly (see
table 4/30) and influences the bending flexibility
and the bending stability. The length of
lay is an important factor for the service life
of flexible electric cables for mining applications.

axis.

Support elements ⋅ Anti-torsion braid
Support elements
Flexible electric cables for mining applications should not be
stressed above the limits set out in table 4/13 (page 4/20)
for the permissible tensile forces. If higher tensile forces are to be
expected, support elements have to be provided as part of the
structure of the cable. There are several possibilities for integration
of support elements in cables.
Two variants are normally used:
l A support element located in the centre of the cable
or
l A braid between the inner and outer sheath
The force/elongation diagram in Fig. 4/22 shows the characteristic
of these cables with different arrangements of support elements
as compared to a cable without a support element.
After a compacting phase, in which the individual cable elements
are initially pulled together, until the copper conductor begins to
bear the tensile force, the cable without a support element remains
linear in the first section of the curve (curve C). In the next
phase elongation increases considerably on a slight increase of
force.
Cables with a braid as a support element between the inner and
outer sheath behave in the first section of the curve (curve B) in a
similar manner to cables without a support element. The braid
becomes effective as a support element and bears the applied
force only after the force and the consequent elongation have increased
over a certain period of time. The tensile force which is
borne increases with less elongation than that of the cable without
a support element. The braid as a support element can prevent
the cable, e.g. from tearing.
Cables with a central support element behave differently provided
that the support element was correctly dimensioned. The support
element bears the tensile forces from the very beginning and
thus relieves the copper conductor (curve A).
The force/elongation characteristics of the support elements and
of the copper conductors are decisive for correct design of the
support element and dimensioning of the flexible cables. The actual
design should be worked out in close co-operation with the
cable manufacturer.
Anti-torsion braid
Flexible electric cables for mining applications are often fitted with
an anti-torsion braid between the inner and outer sheath in order
to minimize twisting under torsional loads.
This applies to CORDAFLEX (S), PROTOLON (M)-R.
The effect of an anti-torsion braid on the angle of torsion α with
increasing torsional moment for comparable cables with and
without an anti-torsion braid is shown in Fig. 4/23.
The flexible cable with anti-torsion braid tends to twist less than
the flexible cable without a braid for the same torsional moment.
