PROTOLON(SC) 6/10 kV is a medium voltage flexible cable architecture for High Voltage Shore Connection Systems (HVSC), designed for both onboard vessel sections and onshore cable-handling systems. Based on DIN VDE 0250-813 and IEC/ISO/IEEE 80005-1, it combines 6/10 kV EPR-insulated power cores, semiconductive rubber field control, integrated control cores, optional fibre optics, an aramid-reinforced central support element, EPR inner sheath and an abrasion- and tear-proof CM/CPE outer sheath. Its technical role is not simply to transmit power: it must survive repetitive shore-connection handling, marine outdoor exposure, oil contamination, UV, ozone, moisture and permanent water immersion while maintaining electrical integrity, control-circuit reliability and safe operation around ships and quay equipment.
EMC Performance Classification: EMC rating scale (VDE/EN standards): Basic: No shielding (part 813 unscreened) Fair: Partial coverage, 30–40 mm spacing in braid Good: 80–90% coverage, 95% coverage, all gaps 30 dB attenuation @ 500 kHz: >40 dB attenuation @ 5 MHz: >35 dB attenuation (typical peak range) Expected: Tinned copper braid achieves 35–50 dB across frequency range Immunity to external interference: Motor variable frequency drive (VFD) nearby: VFD RF emission: Typically 50–200 mV/m at cable distance Unshielded cable susceptibility: 100–500 mV induced noise Shielded cable (good EMC): 1–10 mV induced noise (50–100× reduction) Consequence: VFD-driven crane motor doesn’t interfere with control signals No false triggering of safety systems Data integrity in digital control systems maintained Radiated immunity testing (per EN 61000-4-3): Test standard: Cable exposed to RF field 50 MHz–1 GHz Test field strength: 10 V/m typical Acceptance: No malfunction, signal corruption

PROTOMONT(Z) NSSHCGEOEU 0.6/1KV coal cutter cable represents the pinnacle of engineering for underground mining operations. These cables are specifically designed as power supply connection cables for mobile equipment in underground machine applications.
(Z)-Coal-Cutter cables are engineered for free trailing operation and, due to their special construction, may be trailed for considerable distances behind the machine during operation. The robust design ensures reliable power transmission even under extreme mechanical stress conditions encountered in mining environments.
Primary applications include coal shearers, roadheaders, tunnel boring machines (TBMs), and load-haul-dump vehicles (LHDs/scoops). The cable’s exceptional flexibility and durability make it indispensable for modern mining operations worldwide.
PROTOMONT(Z) NSSHKCGEOEU represents a highly specialized category of coal cutter cables engineered for free trailing operation in underground mining environments. The “(Z)” designation indicates this cable is specifically designed for trailing applications, where it must be trailed for considerable distances behind mobile mining machinery during operation. Unlike standard industrial cables, these are constructed to withstand extreme mechanical stresses including repeated bending, high tensile forces, impact, and crushing loads commonly encountered in coal mining operations.
TENAX-SAS NTSCGEWOEU series represents a specialized category of medium voltage flexible trailing cables engineered specifically for the demanding operational environments found in open-pit mining operations. These cables are designed to power large mobile mining equipment including draglines, electric rope shovels, excavators, and material handling machinery operating under extreme mechanical stress and harsh environmental conditions.
