Longwall shearer & Bretby handler
5×D minimum bending radius and non-metallic/composite screens excel in longwall Bretby chains.
Product
KGES / KGRES (КГЭС / КГРЭС) are 660/1140 V (0.66/1.14 kV) underground longwall coal-shearer flexible trailing cables built to GOST 24334, featuring a high-strength central load-bearing cradle core (С) and, in KGRES, +90 °C ethylene-propylene rubber
Typical values for this cable type, based on GOST 24334 / TU 16.K73 (КГЭС / КГРЭС) — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Engineered for high-output 1140 V underground longwall coal shearers, roadheaders, and face conveyors where high ampacity (+90 °C EPR in KGRES) and axial haulage tensile strength (С cradle) are
5×D minimum bending radius and non-metallic/composite screens excel in longwall Bretby chains.
Central load-bearing cradle (С) absorbs haulage tension without stretching phase conductors.
Flame-retardant polychloroprene outer sheath resists coal-face abrasion and hydraulic emulsion.
Suitable for gate-road feeder runs and mobile transformer interconnections.
For vertical shaft or steep-seam steel-rope duty specify KGEZhTSh.
