What governing standard and construction define Vertical Mineshaft SIA (Vertical Mineshaft SIA 5 kV Self-Supporting Borehole Cable)?
Vertical Mineshaft SIA (Vertical Mineshaft SIA 5 kV Self-Supporting Borehole Cable) is manufactured in accordance with CSA C22.2 No. 131 / CSA C68.10 / UL 1569 for 5 kV duty over -40 to +90 °C. Its 5-layer construction comprises 5 kV Phase Conductors (3×2/0 AWG), Internal Steel Support Messengers and FT4 Low-Temp Outer Jacket.
What is the minimum bending radius and operating temperature range for Vertical Mineshaft SIA?
The minimum bending radius for Vertical Mineshaft SIA is 12 × OD across its continuous operating temperature range of -40 to +90 °C, ensuring mechanical and dielectric reliability in mining and heavy industrial service.
How are the concentric layers of Vertical Mineshaft SIA arranged from inside to outside?
From inside to outside, the construction sequence is: (01) 5 kV Phase Conductors (3×2/0 AWG) (Stranded bare copper + semicon screens + 90 °C RW90 XLPE + copper tape shield); (02) Internal Steel Support Messengers (Individually PVC-jacketed high-tensile galvanized steel support cables); (03) Ribbed Anti-Slip Inner Jacket (Extruded FR-PVC inner jacket with longitudinal ribs locking core assembly); (04) Steel Interlocked Armour (SIA) (Galvanized steel interlocked armour mechanically engaged with inner ribs); (05) FT4 Low-Temp Outer Jacket (Sunlight-, oil- and -40 °C cold-impact resistant FT4 FR-PVC jacket).
What factory test certificates are supplied with Vertical Mineshaft SIA?
Every production drum of Vertical Mineshaft SIA undergoes routine conductor resistance/continuity, high-voltage dielectric and dimensional testing per CSA C22.2 No. 131 / CSA C68.10 / UL 1569, and is delivered with an EN 10204 3.1 factory test certificate.
