Protolon Cable (N)TSKCGEWOEU – Prysmian MV Medium Voltage Flexible Trailing Cables With Integrated Fibre Optics

Protolon Cable
Protolon Cable (N)TSKCGEWOEU
Protolon cables type (N)TSKCGEWOEU, are flexible and trailing medium voltage (MV) reeling cables with integrated fibre optics.
Protolon (N)TSKCGEWOEU cable is specified and installed for the combined transmission of energy and data medium voltage flexible cable applications under high to extreme mechanical stresses, e.g. high travel speeds, dynamic tensile loads, multiple changes of direction into different planes, churning on running over rollers and torsional stresses.

PROTOLON CABLE (N)TSCGEWOEU Specification
Conductor – Conductor and earth conductor made of electrolytic copper tinned, very finely stranded, class FS (refer also to DIN VDE 0295)
Insulation – Protolon HS high grade special compound based on high-quality EPR (at least 3GI3); improved mechanical and electrical characteristics (refer also to DIN VDE 0207, Part 20)
Electrical Field Control – Inner semiconductive layer of EPR, outer semiconductive layer of modified NBR, capable of being stripped when cold and thus extremely easy to prepare (Easy Strip design).
Core Identification – Natural coloured insulation with black semi-conductive layer
Core Arrangement – Three core design with cradle separator in the centre, earth conductor split into 2 parts positioned in two interstices. Optical element: six tubes, laid up around a central support element, with one, two or three optical fibers in each, positioned in the third interstice.
Cable Sheath System
- Protofirm Sandwich – double layer inner sheath. Compound based on EPR, quality at least 5GM3, served as water barrier, colour: red;
- Anti-torsion Braid – reinforced braid made of polyester threads, in a vulcanized bond between the sheaths, resulting in high strength of the sheath
- Protofirm Sandwich – double layer outer sheath: A sheath system with a unique combination of flexibility and robustness has been achieved through the use of a new sandwich structure. Abrasion and tear-proof high grade rubber compounds based on PCP, quality at least 5GM5, colour: bright red/red.
