RHEYFIRM®(RTS) R-(N)TSCGEWTOEUS Reeling Cables
1.8/3 (3.6) kV
up to 18/30 (36) kV
UL File E302473
Standards
International  Nexans specification
National  DIN VDE 0250 part 813; DIN VDE 0295; DIN VDE 0298; DIN VDE 0472
Description

Applications

Flexible reeling cable for energy supply. Especially for high and extreme mechanical stress, e.g. torsional stress and high reeling speed up to 270 m/min. For deflection into different planes. 
Main applications: Ship To Shore cranes (STS), Rail Mounted Gantry cranes (RMG), Ship Unloader, Stacker Reclaimer and other heavy mobile equipment.
 

Design

Conductor
Flexible stranded plain copper, "FSC" better than DIN EN / IEC 60228 class 5

Insulation

  • Inner semi-conductive stress control layer
  • New special elastomeric insulation compound "RHEYCLEAN" based on EPR
  • Outer semi-conductive insulation shield layer, "RHEYSTRIP", easy strip (Thermostrip)

Protective conductor
Flexible stranded plain copper, "FSC" better than DIN EN / IEC 60228 class 5, semi-conductive layer

Inner sheath
Special synthetic rubber compound better than GM1b acc. DIN VDE 0207 part 21

Reinforcement
Braid made of synthetic threads with very high tensile strength as a protection against twist stress and pressure loads

Outer sheath
Heavy duty chlorinated rubber compound 5GM5 acc. DIN VDE 0207 part 21.
New special sandwich construction for optimal flexibility, abrasion resistance and heavy load.
