AGKABEL Rubber-Insulated Cables NSSHöu-O – Heavy-Duty for Mining

AGKABEL GRUPPE LIMITED presents the Rubber-Insulated Cables NSSHöu-O, engineered for the most punishing environments. These heavy-duty cables are suited as connecting cables for very high mechanical stress. They are applicable in underground and surface mining, industrial tools, stone-pits, building sites, outdoors as well as indoors. Suitable for fixed installation on plaster, in dry, damp, and wet zones, a long duration of life under extreme operating conditions is guaranteed. The insulation of a plastic-rubber compound on EPR basis improves the resistance to ozone, avoiding the formation of cracks due to ozone and insulation damage in switchboards. Note: Not suitable for drumming and use in all types of machinery, such as robots, handling units, and energy transfer units, where constant mobility is essential.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What are the primary applications for this cable?
It is designed for underground and surface mining, industrial tools, stone-pits, building sites, and both outdoor and indoor use. It is suited as a connecting cable for very high mechanical stress.

2. What is the temperature range of this cable?

• Flexing: -25°C to +80°C

• Fixed installation: -40°C to +80°C

• At conductor: +80°C

3. What is the voltage rating of this cable?
The nominal voltage is 0.6/1 kV. The max operating voltage is 0.69/1.15 kV (AC) and 1.04/1.73 kV (DC).

4. What are the key features of the insulation?
The EPR-based plastic-rubber compound improves resistance to ozone, preventing the formation of cracks and insulation damage, which is critical for switchboards and high-voltage environments.

5. Is this cable suitable for continuous flexing (e.g., in robots)?
No. While it is suitable for flexing (with a bending radius of 10x diameter), it is not suitable for drumming or use in machinery (like robots or energy transfer units) where constant mobility is essential.

6. What standards does this cable comply with?
It complies with DIN VDE 0250 part 812, DIN VDE 0295, and fire behavior standards DIN VDE 0472 part 804 test method B and IEC 60332-1.

7. What sizes and core configurations are available?
Available in 1-core (up to 300mm²) and multicore configurations (2 to 5 cores, from 1.5mm² to 25mm²).
