Introduction to BS6708 Standard BS6708 標準介紹

British Standard BS6708 sets out the requirements for flexible trailing cables where used in mining operations and quarries. These cables are often referred to as trailing cables, quarry cables, or auxiliary cables and have applications with a wide range of dynamic mining equipment including excavators, coal-cutters, crushing machines, and shuttle cars.

英國標準BS6708規定了在採礦作業和採石場中使用的柔性拖曳電纜的要求。這些電纜通常被稱為拖曳電纜、採石場電纜或輔助電纜,適用於各種動態採礦設備,包括挖掘機、採煤機、破碎機和穿梭車。

BS6708 mining cables are generally used in deep mines where explosive gases and dust can accumulate, and on surface operations for supplying power to excavating, crushing machines and equipment. The cables are designed to withstand high mechanical stresses, abrasion, and wear in trailing applications.

BS6708礦用電纜通常用於可能積聚爆炸性氣體和粉塵的深礦井,以及地面作業中為挖掘和破碎機械設備供電。這些電纜設計用於承受拖曳應用中的高機械應力、磨損和磨耗。

Trailing Cable Operation | 拖曳電纜操作

BS6708 trailing cables are designed for dynamic operation where the cable moves with mobile equipment. Cable reelers maintain constant tension on the cable during in-pit manoeuvres, reducing risk of damage and extending cable lifespan. These cables can handle slow reeling applications and are suitable for draglines, shovels, excavators, wharf cranes, and materials handling equipment.

BS6708拖曳電纜設計用於電纜隨移動設備移動的動態操作。電纜卷筒在坑內操作期間保持電纜恆定張力,降低損壞風險並延長電纜使用壽命。這些電纜可處理慢速卷繞應用,適用於拉鏟、挖掘機、碼頭起重機和物料搬運設備。
