Cost-Benefit Analysis

Type 260 Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) Mining Cable is designed to meet the stringent standards of Australia and New Zealand.

Known for its robustness, flexibility, and resistance to extreme conditions, this cable is ideal for the demanding environments found in mining operations.

Key Features:

• Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire armor layer provides robust mechanical protection, safeguarding the cable against impacts, abrasion, and external stresses commonly encountered in mining environments.

• Voltage Rating: Available in voltage ratings of 1.1kV (Type 260.1), 3.3kV (Type 260.3), 6.6kV (Type 260.6), and 11kV (Type 260.11), offering flexibility to meet various mining power distribution requirements.

• Construction: Constructed with Ethylene Propylene Rubber insulation and heavy-duty, oil-resistant Polychloroprene sheathing, ensuring durability and reliability in harsh mining conditions.

• Earth Conductor: Configured as a 3-core construction with a central pilot core laid up on a cradle separator, with the overall tinned copper braid screen acting as the earth conductor, ensuring efficient grounding.

• Compliance: Manufactured to adhere to Standards Australia / Standards New Zealand AS/NWS 1125, AS/NZS 1802:2003, AS/NZS 3808, and AS/NZS 5000.1, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.

• Application: Primarily used as an armoured feeder cable in opencast mining applications, it can also serve as a feeder cable to machinery such as transportable mining substations in sand mining operations.

Application Scenarios

Underground Mining Operations

The Type 260 EPR Mining Cable (Тип 260 кабель для горной промышленности из этилен-пропиленового каучука) excels in underground mining environments.

It powers and controls machinery such as drills, loaders, and conveyors, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions. The cable's flexibility and durability make it a preferred choice for underground operations where space and movement are limited.

Surface Mining Equipment

In surface mining, the cable's durability and flexibility are crucial. It is used with heavy machinery like shovels and excavators, providing dependable power and control.

The cable's ability to withstand high mechanical stress and adverse weather conditions makes it ideal for these applications. The Type 260 EPR Mining Cable (Тип 260 кабель для горной промышленности из этилен-пропиленового каучука) ensures that operations run smoothly and efficiently.
