1. Source hierarchy and data status

SOURCE

Direct catalogue data

Construction, voltage, diameter, mass, conductor resistance, capacitance, inductance, ampacity, short-circuit current and published tensile force are retained exactly from the archived matrices.

DERIVED

Calculated engineering values

Power, resistive and impedance-related voltage drop, charging current, charging reactive power and dimensional comparisons are calculated from source values.

INFERRED

Transparent working estimates

A provisional 10D moving-radius estimate and one likely decimal correction are clearly isolated from source data and assigned confidence levels.

Family boundary: PROTOLON(M)-R is an open-cast medium-voltage reeling family. PROTOLON(M) F is a semi-flexible installation cable, while PROTOLON(SB/SB-SAM) is a trailing family. Their mechanical limits and matrices are not interchangeable.

2. Application and reel duty

Open-cast mining reel duty Excavators · stackers · crushers Monospiral or cylindrical reel Tension · bending · torsion and multi-plane S-direction changes
Confirmed duty: connection of large mobile mining machines such as excavators, stackers, crushers, reclaimers and other equipment operating with monospiral or cylindrical cable reels under high mechanical stress.
System-level design: cable life is controlled by reel torque, acceleration, centre/end feed, guide geometry, S-direction changes, roller pressure, tensile load and accumulated torsion—not by conductor size alone.

3. Standard construction: three split-earth interstices

PROTOLON(M)-R R-(N)TSCGEWOEU — standard reeling cable cross-section Engineering reconstruction from the official layer description; relative wall thicknesses are not manufacturing dimensions. 1. Heavy-duty outer sheath Synthetic elastomer, commonly CR/PCP family, quality better than 5GM5; red, abrasion and tear resistant. 2. Polyester reinforcement braid Embedded in a vulcanised bond between the sheath layers. 3. Inner sheath EPR, mechanical quality approximately 5GM3. 4. PROTOLON EPR insulation High-grade EPR, quality better than 3GI3. 5. Electrical field control Inner and outer semiconductive rubber layers. 6. Flexible phase conductor Plain electrolytic copper, extra-flexible / class FS in the archived product description. 7. Split protective earth Three earth sections occupy the three outer interstices. 8. Central cradle / filler Controls geometry and load distribution. The archived source does not identify it as an aramid carrier. Standard configuration: three phase cores + protective earth split into three interstices; no integrated optical unit.
Topology: three screened phase cores are laid around a central cradle/filler. The protective-earth conductor is divided into three sections occupying all three outer interstices.

4. Integrated fibre optics: two earth sections plus FO

PROTOLON(M)-R with integrated fibre optics — 3C + 2G + FO The optical element replaces the third earth interstice; fibre count and type must be specified for the order. 1. Heavy-duty outer sheath Red abrasion-, tear-, weather- and oil-resistant elastomer. 2. Polyester reinforcement braid 3. EPR inner sheath 4. Three screened MV phase cores Conductor, inner semiconductive layer andPROTOLON EPR with an outer semiconductive layer. 5. Protective earth split into two The two earth sections occupy two outer interstices. 6. Integrated optical element Occupies the third interstice; up to 24 fibres are referenced. Specify G62.5/125, G50/125 or E9/125 and the fibre count. 7. Central cradle / filler Maintains the three-core geometry under reel loading. FO matrix notation in the archived data does not define one universal fibre count for every row; the optical construction is order-specific.
Topology change: the optical unit replaces the third earth section. The FO version therefore has two split-earth sections and one optical element, not three earth sections.

G62.5/125

Multimode. Archived family data reference attenuation below 3.3 dB/km at 850 nm and below 0.9 dB/km at 1310 nm.

G50/125

Multimode. Reference attenuation below 2.8 dB/km at 850 nm and below 0.8 dB/km at 1310 nm.

E9/125

Single-mode. Reference attenuation below 0.4 dB/km at 1310 nm and below 0.3 dB/km at 1550 nm.

Order definition

Specify fibre type, fibre count, optical wavelength, link budget, breakout length, connector or splice architecture and factory termination dimensions.

20/35 kV coverage is partial: the archived matrix publishes only six standard and five integrated-FO constructions. Larger sections are not extrapolated.

6. Mechanical limits: two document generations

Document-generation limits must not be mixed Detailed archived product sheets (2015) Normal operation: up to 60 m/min Rewinding / transfer: up to 100 m/min Static conductor load: 20 N/mm² Acceleration load: 25 N/mm² Fully flexible: −35…+60 °C Published matrix Fmax = 20 × 3 × S Later mining family overview Voltage family: 3.6/6–20/35 kV Travel speed: up to 120 m/min Maximum tensile force: 25 N/mm² Torsion: ±100°/m Fully flexible: −35…+80 °C Applies to the mapped family, not automatically to every archived Part number. Contractual rule: use one confirmed product generation and one exact construction; never assemble a limit set from the largest values in different documents.
Common design controls: the family overview gives torsion up to ±100°/m and multiple-plane operation. The archived engineering treatment also requires at least 20D spacing at S-direction changes.

7. Materials, standards and environmental properties

Design basis

Based on DIN VDE 0250-813.

Conductors

Plain electrolytic copper, extra-flexible construction in the archived M-R description.

Insulation

PROTOLON high-grade EPR, quality better than 3GI3, with inner and outer semiconductive field-control layers.

Sheath system

EPR inner sheath approximately 5GM3, polyester reinforcement braid and red heavy-duty elastomer outer sheath better than 5GM5.

Thermal

Maximum conductor temperature 90°C; short-circuit conductor temperature 250°C.

Environmental

Oil, ozone, UV, weather and moisture resistance are referenced; no universal numerical water-depth rating is assigned.

Current ratings

Archived table values are referenced to 30°C ambient conditions.

Approvals

Later technical appendices list fire certificates and GOST-R/-K/-B for the family; validity must be checked for the exact supplied construction.

Three-phase apparent power: S = √3 × Uline × IActive power at cosφ = 0.9: P = S × 0.9Resistive voltage drop for 100 m: ΔUR = √3 × I × R20 × 0.1 kmApproximate loaded voltage drop for 100 m: ΔU ≈ √3 × I × (R20 cosφ + X sinφ) × 0.1 km where X = 2πfL and f = 50 HzCharging current per kilometre: Ic = 2πfC × U0Three-phase charging reactive power: Qc = 3 × U0 × IcThese are preliminary steady-state calculations. Reel transients, motor starting, harmonics, reflected waves, thermal grouping and installation correction factors require project-specific analysis.

Data linkstandard / FO · type · count • Confirm monospiral/cylindrical reel, centre or end feed, torque control and acceleration. • Select the exact earth arrangement: 3 split earth sections, or 2 earth sections + FO. • Specify fibre count and G62.5/125, G50/125 or E9/125; confirm factory termination dimensions. • Verify Dmin/Dmax, mass, capacitance, inductance, current, short-circuit current and Part number. • Treat 10D and the corrected 0.064 Ω/km value only as marked engineering inferences until written confirmation.

14. Installation and acceptance checklist

  • Confirm the exact designation, voltage class, standard or integrated-FO topology, earth section and Part number.
  • Obtain the contractual Dmin/Dmax, mass, conductor resistance, capacitance, inductance, ampacity and short-circuit current.
  • Define reel type, centre or end feed, torque control, acceleration, travel path, guide rollers and S-direction geometry.
  • Verify the tensile limit and travel speed from one confirmed document generation.
  • For FO, define fibre count/type, factory breakout, splice or connector arrangement, attenuation budget and OTDR baseline.
  • Check MV termination compatibility with the exact insulation diameter and semiconductive-layer removal method.
  • Verify continuity and termination of every split-earth section.
  • Measure conductor resistance, insulation/withstand performance under the agreed procedure and optical insertion loss before commissioning.

15. Failure mode and effects analysis

Reel over-tension

High torque or acceleration transfers excessive force into phase conductors. Control drive torque, ramp time and cable pull.

S-bend too short

Insufficient transition distance increases cyclic strain, core displacement and local sheath fatigue.

Accumulated torsion

Incorrect guide geometry allows twist to build up over repeated cycles. Inspect reel alignment and swivel behaviour.

FO microbending

Local compression or a small guide radius raises attenuation and may create intermittent data faults.

Wrong earth topology

A three-earth termination drawing applied to a 2G+FO cable creates an unsafe or incomplete connection.

Generation mixing

Combining 120 m/min, 25 N/mm² and old archived dimensions without confirmation creates an unqualified operating envelope.
