TRATOS ASNZS MTO-409® – Class 2 – from 1,1/1,1 to 22/22 kV

AS/NZS 2802 specifies two classes of cables for reeling and trailing cables for mining and general use, and defines cable structures developed to satisfy particular industry requirements. For high voltage applications, cables with a rationalized range of conductor sizes are specified to provide an optimum range to meet most applications.

Type 409 is a popular cable for use as a flexible trailing feeder cable to mobile equipment such as draglines, drills and face shovels . Electrically symmetrical.

All cables with a voltage rating of 3 .3/3 .3 kV and above have a cross-linked semiconductive elastomeric material extruded directly over a textile reinforced semiconductive tape applied around the power core conductor using a triple extrusion process in combination with the EPR insulation and an insulation stress relief screen. The material used for the insulation stress relief screen is a cross-linked semiconductive elastomeric compound which is applied directly over the insulation of each power core followed by a composite tinned annealed copper/ polyester braid.

All cables with a voltage rating of 1,1/1,1 kV have a separator tape over the power core conductor, an extruded EPR insulation and a textile tape applied over the insulation followed by a composite tinned annealed copper/ polyester braid.

Three such screened cores are laid up around a semiconductive cradle separator containing a single EPR insulated extensible pilot core.

Core identification as follows: 3,3/3,3 kV and higher voltages Power core identification by coloured tracers in the composite screen (Red, White, Blue). 1,1/1,1 kV cables are supplied with coloured insulation.Central Pilot Core identification, all voltages, coloured insulation (Grey). Sheathed overall by a Heavy duty HD-85-PCP sheath Black (other colours on request). An open weave textile reinforcing braid can be included on request.

When required a textile-reinforced semiconductive waterblocking tape can be applied on special request.

The cables specified in Standard AS/NZS 2802 have been designed to meet the special requirements of the Australian surface mining industry and also to comply with the requirements of AS 3007, Electrical installations—Surface mines and associated processing plant (all parts).

Although surface mining was a significant factor in determining the cables to be incorporated into Standard AS/NZS 280, it is recognized that many of these cables will be equally applicable to other installations, e.g. underground metalliferous mines, ship loaders, travelling cranes, reclaimers at loading stations and other large materials handling plant.

A number of cables specified in this Standard might also meet the requirements for underground coal mines; however, reeling and trailing cables for coalmines are the subject of AS/NZS 1802, Electric cables—Reeling and trailing—For underground coal mining purposes.
