(N)TS...WOEU TENAX®-TS, TENAX®-TTS new generation
CONSTRUCTION
1. Flexible tinned copper conductor, class 5
2. Core insulation of rubber compound of type 3GI3 based on EPR
3. Inner semi-conducting layer – up to 6 kV. It is completed with outer semi-conducting layer above 6 kV (these two semi-conducting layers form together with insulation a void free (homogeneous) radial field).
4. Inner sheath of special synthetic rubber
5. Outer sheath of chlorinated rubber compound of type 5GM5, oil resistant, self-extinguishing, reinforced by inserted braid of glass fibres servers as torsion protection
A. Working core
B. Earth conductor can be incorporated as fourth core or distributed inside outer interstices. In special cases, e.g. for use with dredgers or as emergency cables, the earth conductor is distributed and located over outer semi-conducting layers (TENAX®-N).
Application
For connection of large mobile equipment e.g. excavators, stowing machines, full-portal gantry cranes etc. Used under very high mechanical load, in dry or damp locations, also in areas with risk of explosion, namely in open pit and underground coal mines, salt and metal mines, gravel and sand quarries, limestone mines, shipyards and ports, container terminals, heavy industry,
metallurgical plants and at construction sites. Cable construction can be optimised in accordance with its use. That is why the order has to specify an exact use of the cable (winding, trailing…).

The following operating conditions are defined for winding cables according to DIN VDE 0168:
- Min. core diameter of winding drum 25 x D
- Min. bending radius at deflection pulleys 15 x D
- Min. distance between two bends (with bending in "S" shape) or with bending in various directions 20 x D

Tenax TTS: 20 N/mm2
Value of 25 N/mm2 must not be exceeded with impact tensile load.
Alternative constructions
TENAX®-TS
Type for winding mechanisms with single deflection direction, e.g. axis of take-up drum is in right angle to travel direction of the equipment.
TENAX®-TTS
Type with torsion protection is designed for winding mechanisms with various deflection directions, e.g. axis of take-up drum is parallel with travel direction of the equipment.
Besides these variants, special cable constructions are available with very stiff braided armour for heavy mechanical and tensile stressing under trailing use, with water resistant inner sheath for permanent laying in service water, or with integrated optics or control cores.
