Longwall shearer & Bretby handler
Engineered for 3.3 kV and 6 kV longwall shearer Bretby cable handler chains under water spray.
Product
OnGcekż/w-GW and O2nGcekż/w-GW are double-screened ('/w'), water-blocked ('-GW') medium-voltage mining trailing cables (1.9/3.3 kV and 3.6/6 kV) for high-output longwall shearers and roadheaders. They combine individual phase screens with an overall
Typical values for this cable type, based on PN-G-90105 / ZN-TF-213 — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Built for 3.3 kV and 6 kV longwall coal shearers, heavy bolter-miners, and roadheaders in wet, methane-hazard workings requiring redundant double screening ('/w') and water blocking ('-GW').
Engineered for 3.3 kV and 6 kV longwall shearer Bretby cable handler chains under water spray.
Double screening ('/w') ensures immediate earth-fault trip if a sharp rock penetrates the outer sheath.
Sealed '-GW' longitudinal water-blocking stops water ingress into 3.3/6 kV flameproof couplers.
Connects MV gate-end boxes to face cutter-loaders and armoured face conveyor drives.
O2nGcekż/w-GW double-layer reinforced sheath supports tensioned MV shuttle reeling.
Construction
Individually screened MV EPR phase cores + pilot bundle, enclosed in a second collective overall screen ('/w'), hydro-swelling barrier
