Application fit

Is (N)SHÖU right for your machine?

(N)SHÖU (based on DIN VDE 0250-812, MT and M+ series) provides a lighter, more compact inner and outer sheath profile than NSSHÖU for mining conveyor belt lines, shiftable machinery, submersible dewatering pumps (down to 500 m), and drill/LHD reeling.

Fixed installation

Suitable

Semi-fixed and shiftable power feeders alongside conveyor belts, tunnels, and explosion-hazard zones (4 × D min. bend).

Trailing & towing

Suitable

Mobile equipment leads, upper/lower car loops, and suspension fittings up to 15 N/mm² conductor tensile stress (5 × D min. bend).

Immersion & wet locations

Suitable

Water-resistant 3GI3 / 5GM5 elastomer construction approved for submersible pumps down to 500 m depth in water up to +40 °C (EN 50525-2-21).

  • Typical values for this cable type; dimensions and weights for your order are confirmed in the quotation.
  • Permissible continuous tensile load is 15 N/mm² of active phase conductor cross-section per DIN VDE 0298-3.
  • In 3+3 split-earth constructions (50 to 300 mm²), the protective earth conductor is divided into three symmetrical interstitial conductors (e.g. 3 × 50 + 3 × 25/3E) to reduce overall diameter and improve bending symmetry on drill and LHD reels.
  • Current ratings shown are for cables laid on the floor at 30 °C ambient (DIN VDE 0298-4 Table 15); for 7–37 core control cables, DIN VDE 0298-4 multicore grouping factors (0.65 down to 0.35) are applied.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

How does (N)SHÖU differ from NSSHÖU under DIN VDE 0250-812?
Both cables share the same 0.6/1 kV voltage rating, Class 5 flexible copper conductors, 3GI3 EPR insulation, and 5GM5 heavy-duty elastomer outer sheath under DIN VDE 0250-812. However, (N)SHÖU — designated with parentheses around the N, indicating 'based on VDE 0250-812' (MT and M+ mining series) — uses a reduced inner and outer sheath wall thickness compared with full-wall NSSHÖU. This makes (N)SHÖU lighter and smaller in outside diameter (for example, 3 × 50 + 3 × 25/3E is 29.4–33.5 mm OD on (N)SHÖU vs 36.3–37.5 mm on NSSHÖU), ideal for conveyor belt lines, shiftable units, submersible pumps, and compact drill/LHD reels.
Why does page 1 of the TEBAOFLEX datasheet list +90 °C as the fixed and mobile working temperature?
+90 °C is the maximum permissible continuous operating temperature at the conductor for 3GI3 EPR insulation (+250 °C under 5-second short-circuit). Per DIN VDE 0298-3 and DIN VDE 0250-812, the permissible ambient air temperature is −40 °C to +80 °C when fixed and −25 °C to +80 °C (−25 °C to +60 °C under continuous full flexing).
What do the designations 3 × 50/25 (or 3 × 50 + 3 × 25/3E) and ...KON mean?
On power cross-sections from 50 mm² upwards, the protective-earth conductor is split into three equal interstitial conductors laid symmetrically between the three main phase cores — written 3 × 50 + 3 × 25/3E (or shorthand 3 × 50/25 on the TEBAOFLEX PDF). On control cables designated (N)SHÖU-J ...KON (such as 7 × 1.5 / 4 KON or 12 × 2.5 / 2.5 KON), a closed concentric layer of copper wires is spun over the laid-up control core assembly between the inner and outer sheaths for earth/monitoring protection.
Can (N)SHÖU be used underwater for submersible mine dewatering pumps?
Yes. (N)SHÖU is tested for water resistance according to EN 50525-2-21 and rated for submersible dewatering pump connections down to 500 m water depth at water temperatures up to +40 °C.
