Mining cable YHKGX SEkyn 3,6/6 kV 3x70/16 GP5611

Mining Cable YHKGX SEkyn – Reliability and Safety in Demanding Conditions

The YHKGX SEkyn 3.6/6 kV cable is a high-quality, double-shielded power cable designed for use in mining applications. Its construction ensures reliable power transmission in harsh environments characterized by potential hazards of methane or coal dust explosions. This cable is ideal for powering equipment in underground electrical networks of mining facilities.

Construction and Application

The cable consists of stranded copper conductors insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). Each conductor features an individual shield, minimizing electromagnetic interference and enhancing resistance to damage. An additional overall shield and a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath provide further protection against external factors. The steel armor (tape-wound or wire-wound, depending on the version) protects the cable against mechanical damage and also serves as a protective element in case of fire.

YHKGX SEkyn cables are designed for operation in networks with a rated voltage up to 6 kV and can be used both in methane-prone areas and non-methane zones, in workings with varying levels of explosion risk. Wire-armored versions (Fo or Fp) are particularly recommended for installation in shafts and steeply inclined workings.

Key Features and Benefits

• Robust Construction: The combination of copper conductors, XLPE insulation, shields, and armor ensures long-term, reliable operation even under extreme conditions.
• Safety: Double shielding and a flame-retardant sheath minimize the risk of short circuits and fires.
• Resistance to External Factors: The cable is resistant to moisture, chemicals, and mechanical damage.
• Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for use in various types of mining workings, both in methane-prone and non-methane zones.
• Compliance with Standards: Meets industry-specific safety and quality standards.
• Installation Flexibility: Availability of different armor types allows customization to specific installation conditions—tape armor for low-angle installations and wire armor for steep shaft installations.
• Rated Conductor Cross-Section of 70 mm²: Ensures adequate current-carrying capacity for most mining applications.
• Three Conductors: Enables implementation of three-phase power circuits.

The YHKGX SEkyn cable is an investment in the safety and reliability of electrical infrastructure in mining facilities. By choosing this cable, you can be confident that your installation will operate efficiently for a long time, minimizing the risk of failures and downtime.
