Application fit

Is WXG / WXG-D R-(N)TSCGEWOEU right for your machine?

WXG and WXG-D are the flagship extra-heavy-duty medium-voltage PCP reeling cables for high-speed automated container cranes (up to 240 m/min, > 240 m/min on request), multi-sheave deflection assemblies, ship unloaders, stacker/reclaimers, and surface mining equipment where maximum equipment availability is critical.

Motorised monospiral reel

Suitable

Primary duty: high-speed motorized horizontal crane reels up to 240 m/min (> 240 m/min on request) under continuous high dynamic loads.

Cylindrical / multi-layer drum

Suitable

Cylindrical and monospiral MV reeling drums (≥ 12 × D on reel, ≥ 15 × D at deflection pulley, ≥ 20 × D S-type directional changes).

Festoon & line chain

Suitable

Specifically engineered with 7 × D short core lay and central rubber cross K to operate through multiple diversion roller assemblies.

Trailing & towing

Suitable

Submersible 5GM3 EPR inner sheath and double bright-red 5GM5 PCP outer sheaths with vulcanized polyester braid withstand ±25 °/m torsion.

Vertical / spreader reel

Suitable

High-resilience 3-sheath sandwich construction and 20 N/mm² tensile capacity (up to 9,000 N) support demanding multi-sheave reeling.

Energy chain / drag chain

Not suitable

Medium-voltage anti-torsion reeling construction is not designed for tight horizontal drag chains.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

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

What construction features allow WXG / WXG-D to operate at 240 m/min through multiple diversion roller assemblies?
WXG / WXG-D combines an ultra-short 7 × D core stranding lay around a central profiled rubber cross (K, designation (N)TSKCGEWOEU-FO) with a 3-layer vulcanized sandwich sheathing system: a submersible red 5GM3 EPR inner sheath, a vulcanized polyester anti-torsion braid, and bright-red 5GM5 PCP middle and outer sheaths. This prevents internal core migration and corkscrewing under rapid S-bend reversals.
How does the cold-strippable semiconductive field control layer simplify medium-voltage terminations?
Each phase core uses a semiconducting EPR inner conductor screen and a semiconducting NBR outer insulation screen over the 3GI3 HV-EPR dielectric. The NBR outer screen is formulated to strip cleanly while cold without heat guns or solvent wipes, preventing nicking of the HV-EPR insulation during MV termination preparation.
What is the minimum ambient temperature rating for WXG / WXG-D in dynamic reeling service?
The series overview specifies −35 °C to +80 °C for flexing and −50 °C to +80 °C for fixed installation (explicitly noting suitability down to −35 °C), while the back-page parameter summary lists a conservative −25 °C to +80 °C flexing and −40 °C to +80 °C fixed range.
Why do the WXG 8.7/15 kV and 12/20 kV 3 × 70 mm² rows print 4,220 N and 5,250 N in the legacy table?
Every WXG and WXG-D configuration is rated at 20 N/mm² of total phase conductor cross-section (3 × 70 mm² × 20 N/mm² = 4,200 N, as printed on WXG 6/10 kV 3 × 70 and all three WXG-D 3 × 70 rows). The legacy table entries '4.220' and '5.250' on WXG 8.7/15 kV and 12/20 kV are typographical outliers and are normalized to 4,200 N.
