Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes URSUS MT PLUS from standard mining cables?
The URSUS MT PLUS incorporates advanced semiconductive layer technology with simultaneous extrusion processes, resulting in superior electrical field control and mechanical flexibility. The specialized conductor construction using Class 5 VDE 0295 specifications provides enhanced flexibility compared to standard mining cables, while the dual-layer semiconductive system ensures optimal electrical performance under extreme mechanical stress conditions.
How does the torsional stress rating of ±25°/m compare to industry standards?
The ±25°/m torsional stress rating represents exceptional performance for reeling cable applications. This specification allows for continuous operation under extreme twisting conditions commonly encountered in automated material handling systems, mining equipment, and port machinery. Most standard cables operate at significantly lower torsional stress limits, making the URSUS MT PLUS ideal for high-performance applications.
What is the significance of the semiconductive tape and rubber layer system?
The dual semiconductive system provides critical electrical field management by ensuring uniform electric field distribution across the insulation. The inner semiconductive tape over the conductor eliminates air gaps, while the outer semiconductive rubber layer prevents electrical stress concentrations. This technology is essential for medium and high voltage applications, preventing partial discharge and extending cable service life significantly.
Can URSUS MT PLUS cables operate in both underground and surface mining applications?
Absolutely. The URSUS MT PLUS is specifically engineered for both underground and opencast mining operations. The robust sheath construction using 5GM5 quality rubber compound provides excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and environmental conditions found in both applications. The temperature rating from -30°C to +90°C ensures reliable operation across diverse mining environments worldwide.
What maintenance considerations are important for optimal cable performance?
Regular inspection of the outer sheath for signs of wear or damage is crucial, particularly at connection points and areas subject to repetitive flexing. The cable’s reeling speed should not exceed 120 m/min, and the minimum bending radius specifications must be observed according to VDE 0298 Part 3. Proper cable management systems and avoiding excessive tensile loads beyond the rated capacity will maximize service life and maintain electrical integrity.
How does the weight reduction in URSUS MT PLUS benefit industrial operations?
The reduced weight and dimensional design directly translates to lower mechanical stress on reeling equipment, reduced power consumption for cable handling systems, and improved operational efficiency. In mining applications, lighter cables reduce the load on overhead cranes and mobile equipment, while the compact dimensions allow for smaller cable reels and reduced storage requirements. This optimization can result in significant cost savings over the cable’s operational lifetime.
