Application fit

Is (N)TMCGETMPU / RIT-(N)TMCGETMPU / (N)TMCETMPU (6/10–14/25 kV) right for your machine?

Built for heavy mobile equipment in surface and underground mines and quarries—electric shovels, draglines, continuous miners, shuttle cars, loaders, dredges and blast-hole drills—where SHD-GC-style ground-check continuity (3P + 2G + 1GC) is combined with VDE/IEC metric tinned copper stranding and a 5.5 mm thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) jacket.

Trailing & towing

Suitable

5.5 mm extra-heavy-duty yellow TPU jacket resists extreme rock cut, tear, impact and haul-road abrasion in surface and underground mines.

Cylindrical / multi-layer drum

Suitable

Tight ≥ 7.5 × D drum reeling bend radius and integral filled jacket (on RIT series) support continuous reeling on shuttle cars and loaders.

Immersion & wet locations

Suitable

Suitable for dry, moist and flooded underground headings, dredge pontoons and outdoor pit sites down to −30 °C.

Construction

Layer by layer

Three IEC 60228 Class 5 tinned copper power conductors (0.40 mm wire diameter, 50–185 mm²) with conductor shield, high-grade thermosetting EPR insulation (exceeding Type 3GI3) and strippable outer semiconductive shield (plus a tinned-copper/coloured-textile mixed braid on the (N)TMCETMPU series) are cabled together with two uninsulated/semicon-contact flexible tinned copper grounding conductors and one yellow polypropylene-insulated ground-check conductor under an overall semiconductive/rubber-filled binder tape and a 5.5 mm yellow thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) outer jacket.

  • All 24 configurations in this view use 254×0.4 mm (35 mm²) ground-check conductors with yellow polypropylene insulation and a 5.5 mm yellow TPU outer jacket.
  • RIT-(N)TMCGETMPU uses reduced EPR insulation thickness (2.9 / 3.7 / 5.5 mm vs 3.4 / 4.5 / 6.8 mm) and an integral filled TPU jacket to reduce cable diameter and mass by ~300–600 kg/km.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

How do (N)TMCGETMPU, RIT-(N)TMCGETMPU and (N)TMCETMPU differ from one another?
All three are 6/10, 8.7/15 and 14/25 kV three-conductor round portable trailing cables with two grounding conductors, one yellow polypropylene-insulated ground-check conductor, and a 5.5 mm yellow TPU outer jacket. (N)TMCGETMPU uses standard EPR insulation thickness (3.4 / 4.5 / 6.8 mm) with strippable semiconductive shields; RIT-(N)TMCGETMPU uses reduced EPR insulation thickness (2.9 / 3.7 / 5.5 mm) and an integral filled TPU jacket to reduce diameter and weight while increasing torsion resistance; and (N)TMCETMPU adds a tinned-copper and coloured-textile (black, white, red) mixed braid screen over each triple-extruded EPR core.
Why does this VDE/IEC cable family include a yellow polypropylene ground-check (GC) core and MSHA reference?
Global surface and underground mine operators frequently deploy North American-style shovels, draglines, continuous miners and shuttle cars (which require a 3P + 2G + 1 yellow PP ground-check pilot loop and MSHA flame compliance) on 50 Hz metric MV distribution systems (6/10, 8.7/15 or 14/25 kV). (N)TMCGETMPU bridges ICEA SHD-GC ground-check architecture with IEC 60228 Class 5 metric stranding and a 5.5 mm European polyurethane (TPU) jacket.
What is the advantage of the ≥ 7.5 × D drum bending radius?
Standard MV trailing cables typically require 10 × D to 12 × D on reeling drums. Using 0.40 mm Class 5 tinned copper wires, high-elongation thermosetting EPR and an extra-flexible TPU jacket allows (N)TMCGETMPU to operate at ≥ 4 × D in fixed routing and ≥ 7.5 × D on compact shuttle-car and loader reels.
What overload temperature is permitted during peak shovel or loader duty cycles?
The thermosetting EPR insulation is rated for +90 °C continuous conductor operation, up to +130 °C short-time emergency overload (up to 2 hours), and +250 °C short-circuit (+200 °C on the reduced-wall RIT series).
