Mine roadway & tunnel wall hangers
Suspended along protected horizontal mine galleries, pump chambers and underground substations.
Product
Polish underground mining medium-voltage power cable (YHKGXSyn) built to PN-G-90006 with Class 1/2 bare copper conductors, +90 °C cross-linked polyethylene (XS) insulation and oxygen-index ≥ 29 % flame-retardant PVC (yn) outer sheath for protected.
Typical values for this cable type, based on PN-G-90006 / PN-93/E-90401 / IEC 60502-2 — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Engineered for fixed power distribution in underground coal, copper and salt mine galleries, chambers and substations where cables are suspended on non-combustible hooks away from haulage impact and methane-zone phase screening is not required.
Suspended along protected horizontal mine galleries, pump chambers and underground substations.
Suitable for indoor industrial cable trays, tunnels and mining surface shafts.
Unarmoured sheath; where rockfall or mechanical impact exists, specify YHKGXSFtZnyn or YHKGXSFoyn.
Not approved for vertical mine shafts; specify round-wire-armoured YHKGXSFoyn.
