MINING POWER CABLES	Technical Data sheet

APPLICATIONS

YKGSYkonoyn 150/250 V, YKGSYkonoyn 300/500 V and YKGSYkonoyn 0.6/1 kV are overall shielded mining control cables intended for control, communication, measuring and monitoring systems in mines.

Cables can be applied in:

- opencast and underground mines, except explosive condition zones,

- underground mines in their non-methane and methane fields in areas of „a”, „b” or „c” degree explosion hazard,

- underground mines in workings of class A or B coal dust explosion hazard,

- intrinsically safe circuits in opencast and underground mines in explosion hazardous areas,

- intrinsically safe circuits in underground mines in areas classified as „a”, „b”, or „c” degree explosion hazard.

Cables can not be used for power supplying in power engineering installations.

Cable inner sheath offers enhanced protection against mechanical damage.

The overall shield protects the cables against external electromagnetic interferences and prevents emission of interferences produced in the cables.

Cables have positive Technical Opinion No. 06/09  regarding application in underground mines and Certificate No. 06/09/A1 issued by TI EMAG Institute.

CONSTRUCTION                                                                                                           

-  bare annealed copper conductors (tin-plated on request), meeting requirements of class 1 per PN-EN 60228,

-  PVC insulation, colours of insulation:

-  insulated conductors laid-up in layers into a cable core, cables are made of  3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 37, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 61, 65, 70 and 75 conductors,

-  inner PVC sheath,

-  special (oxygen index bigger than 29%) PVC cable sheath, black (RAL 9005) or blue (RAL 5015 - for intrinsically safe circuits), other colours also available.

AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

YKGSXkonoyn - polyethylene insulated cables (X) of low capacitance, designed to transmit signals over long distances. Cables are designed for operating voltage 150/250 V. Cable sheath made of special self-extinguishing and flame retardant PVC (Yn).

XnKGSXkonoxn - halogen free cables of reduced combustibility, sheathed with special halogen free material (Xn), applied when higher safety in case of fire is required. The cables are flame retardant, their smoke emission in fire is low and released gases are not corrosive. Cables are designed for operating voltage 150/250 V.
