Short-Circuit Rating: Why is the Short-Circuit Temperature for 3GI3 EPR-Insulated VDE Cables Set at 250°C, and How Does This Impact Screen Sizing for (N)TSCGECEWÖU?
In the design of medium voltage mining and reeling cables such as the (N)TSCGECEWÖU, the short-circuit temperature rating of the insulation material fundamentally determines the cable’s fault current withstand capability. The 3GI3 EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) compound specified in DIN VDE 0207 Part 20 has a maximum permissible short-circuit temperature of 250°C, which directly influences how engineers must size the metallic screen to safely conduct earth fault currents without thermal damage.
在设计诸如(N)TSCGECEWÖU等中压矿用和卷筒电缆时，绝缘材料的短路温度额定值从根本上决定了电缆的故障电流承受能力。DIN VDE 0207第20部分规定的3GI3 EPR（乙丙橡胶）化合物的最大允许短路温度为250°C，这直接影响工程师必须如何确定金属屏蔽层的尺寸，以安全传导接地故障电流而不会造成热损坏。
