2. Applications
PROTOMONT(M) and MT support conveyor-side installation, movable material-handling equipment, cable suspension fittings, upper/lower-car connections and submersible pump units. M+ is a separate underground reeling branch for drills and LHD machines.
3. Legacy black PROTOMONT(M) construction
4. Optimized yellow MT and KON construction
KON screen: the concentric copper-wire layer changes bonding, monitoring, fault-current and flexibility requirements. The later brochure explicitly excludes screened versions from the 60 m/min travel-speed statement.

Several published rows are dimensionally identical. “Optimized” is a generation-level design claim and does not mean every individual row is smaller than the 2015 legacy row.
11. Representative electrical calculations
Three-phase apparent power at 1 kV: S = √3 × U × I
Active power at cosφ 0.9: P = S × 0.9
Resistive voltage drop for 100 m: ΔUR = √3 × I × R20 × 0.1 km
Approximate loaded drop: ΔU ≈ √3 × I × (R cosφ + X sinφ) × 0.1 km
X = 2πfL, f = 50 Hz
Charging current per kilometre: Ic = 2πfC × U0
Weight of 100 m: mass × 0.1 × gThese calculations do not replace installation correction factors, motor-starting analysis, VFD reflected-wave analysis or thermal grouping.

12. Source anomaly and inference audit
| Item | Field | Published value | Treatment | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MT 3×16 and 4×16 | R20 | 1.12 Ω/km | Preserved | The same sheet uses 1.21 Ω/km in other 16 mm² rows; no silent correction. |
| MT 4×70 | Isc | 8.45 kA | Preserved | Adjacent 70 mm² rows show 8.54 kA. |
| MT 3×95/50 | Construction notation | Special source notation | Preserved | The document does not explicitly decode the slash construction. |
| M and MT Part numbers | Commercial identifier | Many blanks | Not inferred | Published numbering is too sparse to reconstruct safely. |
| MT Fmax | Tensile force | Not tabulated | Derived at 15 N/mm² | Shown in a separate status column and not represented as a source field. |
| M/MT water depth | Submersing depth | 500 m | Source-backed | Does not automatically qualify glands, joints, couplers or chemical compatibility. |
| M+ water depth | Submersing depth | Not stated | Not transferred | The 500 m value from M/MT is not assigned to M+. |
13. Engineering selection workflow
14. Installation and acceptance checklist
- Confirm M, M+ or MT, sheath colour/material, exact revision and -J/-O designation.
- Verify core identification, split-PE arrangement and any KON concentric screen.
- For water service, validate the complete cable-accessory system and water chemistry.
- Use the exact bending radius and speed for the confirmed generation; do not combine the 60 and 100 m/min statements.
- For M+ drills/LHDs, verify reel torque, acceleration, abrasion and trailing sections.
- For KON control cables, define screen bonding, monitoring function and fault-current path.
- Measure conductor resistance, PE continuity, screen continuity and agreed insulation/withstand performance before commissioning.
15. FMEA
Wrong generation: black 5GM3 data used for yellow MT or M+.
Accessory leakage: cable water depth is accepted without qualifying gland/joint sealing.
Reel over-speed: 100 m/min is applied to a screened MT construction.
Torsion mismatch: ±100°/m from M/MT is applied to M+.
KON fault path: concentric screen bonding is treated only as EMC.
Source anomaly: a visibly inconsistent resistance or Isc value is silently “corrected.”

This guide supports preliminary engineering and technical comparison. Current availability, Part numbers, certificates, compounds, dimensions and guaranteed mechanical limits must be confirmed for the exact production batch.
