IEC 60332-1-2 flame retardant self-luminous cable

14 Min Read
Consider a medium-voltage mining trailing cable — for instance, an (N)TMCGEH3S rated 6/10 kV — carrying hundreds of amperes of alternating current through its three power cores to an electric rope shovel in an open-pit mine. Somewhere inside the same cable, a tiny LED glows steadily, making the cable visible to operators in darkness. Yet that LED has no wire, no contact, no physical electrical connection to the power cores. How is this possible? 设想一根中压矿用拖拽电缆——例如额定 6/10 kV 的 (N)TMCGEH3S——通过三根动力线芯向露天矿的电铲输送数百安培的交流电。在同一根电缆内部某处，一颗微小的 LED 稳定发光，使电缆在黑暗中对操作人员可见。但该 LED 与动力线芯之间没有导线、没有触点、没有任何物理电气连接。这是如何做到的？

Inductive Harvesting: How Does the Magnetic Field of the Power Cores Induce Current to Light Up LEDs Without Physical Electrical Connection?
