(N)TMH3S Portable Mining Cable – 0.6/1kV EPR Insulated TPU Sheathed – IEC 60502-1 Compliant

Product Overview

The (N)TMH3S 0.6/1kV Round Portable Mining Cable is engineered for extreme high mechanical stress applications, particularly where high tensile and abrasion forces are encountered. Specially designed for reeling applications, this cable serves to connect heavy, self-driven loaders, shuttle cars, and other mobile mining equipment that are supplied with electrical power via cable reels. In addition to mining environments, it is suitable for use in dry, moist, and wet rooms as well as outdoors on construction sites and other industrial applications.

Key Standards:

  • In line with IEC 60502-1

Key Characteristics

  • Exceptional Mechanical Durability: Excellent impact and abrasion resistance for the most demanding mining environments.

  • Superior Flexibility: Maintains excellent flexibility under continuous reeling and unreeling operations.

  • Environmental Resistance: Highly ozone and weather resistant for reliable outdoor performance.

  • Extended Temperature Range:

    • Fixed installation: -50°C to +90°C

    • Mobile installation: -40°C to +90°C
