FLEXIBLE CABLE DESIGN

AND ELECTRICAL CRITERIA

SHEATH MATERIALS

The design and proper selection of a cable should take into account
environmental conditions, electrical, thermal and mechanical stresses
that can be expected as these all have a bearing on its operating life. All
Siemens exible cables are designed to suit their application perfectly,
thereby ensuring a long trouble free service life even under the harshest
conditions.

CONDUCTORS
Siemens exible cables utilise high conductivity copper in accordance
with the Australian Standard AS 1125 either fi nely or extra fi nely
stranded, depending on its intended application, and these are bunched
or rope laid to provide a exible conductor assembly with increased
mechanical strength. All values for strandings are given as approximate
due to final conductance values of the copper used in production.
The Australian Standard AS1125 now nominates for exible cables a
maximum DC resistance value for a given conductor cross section.
In this way the cross- sectional area of the conductor is stated not as
the geometrical, but as the electrically effective cross-sectional area
determined by the resistance measurement. Thereby, all cables will
have equivalent electrical characteristics irrespective of the manufacturer
or the origin of the base copper used. Conductor resistance values are
given on page 174, table 6.10 and comply with AS 1125.

Likewise sheath materials are either thermoplastic or elastomeric

compounds such as Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene (CSP), Polychloroprene
(PCP), Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE), Silicone (SR), Ethylene Propylene
Rubber (EPR), or Polyurethane (PU). CSP is often known by the DuPont
trade name Hypalon and PCP as Neoprene.
Each particular sheath material is selected or specially compounded for
its specific characteristics. eg EPR (HYDROFIRM) compounded with
additives to achieve total water resistance. PCP (CORDFLEX) for a high
mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. Although the base polymer
name is used eg. CSP, up to 14 additives may be compounded to achieve
the desired characteristics based on years of research, field service and
customers requirements.

INSULATION AND SHEATH THICKNESSES

All Siemens elastomer (synthetic rubber) cables meet or exceed the values
laid down in AS 3116 and AS 3191 (exible cords).
Voltage ratings based on the insulation electrical, thermal and mechanical
characteristics for each cable are given.
SINOTHERM silicone insulated 0.6/1kV cables are in accordance with and
approved to AS 3178.

INSULATION
Insulation materials covered within this catalogue are of basically two
types. Thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and cross linked compounded
elastomers such as Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), Ethyl Vinyl Acetate
(EVA) and Silicone rubber. The Silicone and EVA compounds permit higher
operating temperatures, and accordingly higher current capacities, whilst
EPR exhibits excellent dielectric properties, low temperature exibility and
resistance to ozone, ionization and weather. To attain resistance against
elevated water temperatures Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) is used in
single core and at form HYDROFIRM and Protoex EMV-FC.

GRAPH RANGE/TEMPERATURE

AMBIENT AND CONDUCTOR

OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Ambient temperature is that surrounding the cable. All values stated in
this catalogue are based on an ambient of +30.5C which is generally
considered the norm for Australian conditions when averaged annually.
Surface temperature is the maximum permissible temperature onto which
the cable can be laid upon without damage to the sheath. Conductor
temperature is the temperature the conductor will maintain when
loaded fully in accordance with its rated current carrying capacity. The
maximum permissible conductor temperature is also the temperature
rating of the insulation which it can withstand indefinitely without effect
on its properties. The difference between the ambient temperature and
the maximum conductor temperature is the window of thermal heat
rise generated when current is passed. Basically the heat generated by
current ow must be equalised by convection and thermal radiation so
that an equilibrium is maintained at the maximum insulation temperature.
For this reason the derating factors are applicable when higher or lower
ambients are present.

HIGH AND LOW TEMPERATURES

Siemens elastomer cables utilise insulation and sheathing compounds
which provide excellent performance in extremes in ambient temperatures.
In sub zero environments the catalogue lists the absolute minimum that
the cable can withstand and additionally the minimum for fully exible
operation in its intended application.
Elastomer insulated conductors operate continuously at 90.5C with an
emergency overload up to 130C and short circuit temperature withstand
of up to 250.5C. Experience has shown that exible reeling cables with
tinned conductors should be limited to a short circuit temperature of
200.5C. Exposure to higher temperatures than the cables are rated will
lead to degredation over a period of time of the compounds based on the
rate of exposure and intensity. Fig. 1 shows the service life characteristic
for EPR insulation. The temperature index criteria was 113.5C, ie., the
compound will remain serviceable for 20,000hrs at 113.5C in accordance
with IEC 216. This table is purely indicative as many variables can effect
the result.

VOLTAGE RATINGS
Voltage values are usually expressed in the form Uo/U and Um. Uo is the
rms power frequency voltage between phase and earth. U is the rms power
frequency voltage between phases. Um is the maximum continuous rms
power frequency voltage between any two phases and excludes fault
conditions or sudden disconnection of large loads.

CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY

Current ratings are dependant on the method of installation, the insulation
material affecting the maximum conductor temperature, internal thermal
resistance and external ambient conditions. Unless otherwise indicated
the ratings stated within are for cables touching a surface and unenclosed,
based on a 50Hz system either single phase or balanced three phase. For all
intents and purposes current ratings for DC are equivalent to AC values.

VOLTAGE DROP
Volt drop is dependant on the impedance of the conductor, the load current,
power factor and route length. In accordance with AS/NZS 3008.1.1:1998
the milli-volts per ampere meter (mV/A.m) are listed on Page 81/ 81, Table
41/42 together with the formula to satisfy the voltage drop limitations.
AS 3000 generally limits the allowable voltage drop to 5% of the system
Voltage, however some mining installations may nominate a lower value.
It is important where practicable in the case of single core cables they are
run in trefoil arrangement to minimise impedance.

SHORT CIRCUIT
Symetrical short circuit calculations are given on page 160, table 6.2
and are based on the maximum operating temperature of the insulation
and the maximum final safe short circuit temperature of the insulated
conductor.

CABLE REPAIR
In the event of damage to either the insulation or sheath or where two
cables must be spliced together, the use of commercially available repair
materials are suitable for use with Siemens exible cable compounds.
Various methods and types are available from cast kits which offer a
simple, effective, however non-exible joint to electrical repair and selffusing tapes which when applied build up the insulation and sheath to
their specified dimensions and provide a exible, weatherproof repair
equal to the original cable. It is most important that the repair tapes and
kit compounds match those of the cables and this should be confirmed
with the supplier prior to use. R-EP-90 (EPR) tape must be used on all
Siemens elastomer insulated cables and HD-85-PCP and HD-90-CSP tapes
should be used on their appropriate sheath types. Other repair materials
from Calico and polyester tapes, semi conductive screen tape, silicone,
vinyl/mastic and glass cloth tapes to tinned copper wire braid screen tapes
are available from various manufacturers and include all instructions on
preparation and installation.

APPLICATION

Heavy Duty construction site leads for drills, pumps, saws, kangos
Cranes, hoists & festoon systems
Steelworks and rolling mills
Stage & Theatre power & lighting
Hand held drills, grinders & welders
Agricultural equipment
Portable motors, generators & power supplies
Submersible to 100 metres plus

DESIGN
OZOFLEX is designed as a heavy duty exible for dry, damp and wet
environments, areas of stress caused by vibration or impact and is resistant
to abrasion, exposure to radiated heat and chemical contamination. Because
of the black, ame retardant CSP sheath OZOFLEX is suitable for areas
subject to fire hazard and hazardous locations.
OZOFLEX cables consist of finely stranded copper conductors laid up to
provide a exible design. R-EP-90 elastomer insulation provides improved
current capacities.
Cables above 16mm2 and all control cables have an elastomer inner sheath.
The CSP elastomer sheath (Hypalon) is oil resistant and ame retardant
in accordance with VDE 0472.

OZOFLEX (PLUS) cables consist of finely stranded copper conductors laid
up to provide a exible design. R-EP-90 elastomer insulation provides
improved current capacities. Cables above 16mm2 and all control cables
include an additional elastomer inner sheath and all cables up to 6mm2 have
tinned conductors. The specially compounded heavy duty CSP Elastomer
sheath (Hypalon) is oil resistant and ame retardant and resists the effects
of water absorption.
The construction is in accordance with the Australian Standards AS 1125,
AS 3191, AS 3116 and DIN/VDE 282 and CENELEC STANDARDS for
07RN, IEC 60332-1.

HYDROFIRM (T)

Flexible Cables for use Underwater and for

Submersible Pumps

DESIGN
HYDROFIRM (T) cables consist of finely stranded copper conductors
laid up to provide a exible design. R-EP-90 elastomer insulation enables
improved current capacities and a specially compounded EPR sheath inhibits
water absorption. A hand stripable bond between insulation and sheath
stops any moisture migration along the insulated conductors should the
sheath be damaged. HYDROFIRM (T) is suitable for water temperatures
up to 60C and is designed and approved for use in drinking water eg.,
mineral spring and spa pumps. For particularly aggressive liquids refer to
OZOFLEX (PLUS) and PROTOMONT HD. The sheath colour is blue for
identification. The cable is in accordance with the Australian Standard AS
1125, AS 3116, AS 3191 and DIN VDE 0282 pt 810.

of 40C. At other temperatures these values must be converted using the
following factors. For HYDROFIRM (T) the water temperature should be
considered as the ambient depending on the % of cable submerged.

HYDROFIRM (T) SCREENED

Flexible Cables for use Underwater and for

Submersible Pumps

OPERATING TEMPERATURE
-

APPLICATION

Submersible pumps in boreholes, mining, irrigation dams,

reticulation systems
Ponds and fountains
For fresh, salt & lightly polluted water (60C)
Underwater and marine installations
Sub zero installations (-40C)
De-watering & drainage systems
Pumps with thermistors
Flexible marina power supplies
Suitable for depths up to 500 mts

DESIGN
HYDROFIRM (T) screened cables consist of finely stranded copper
conductors laid up to provide a exible design. R-EP-90 elastomer insulation
enables improved current capacities and a specially compounded EPR
sheath inhibits water absorption.
A hand stripable bond between insulation and inner sheath stops any
moisture migration along the insulated conductors should the sheath be
damaged. Between the inner and outer EPR sheaths there is an overall
copper screen. HYDROFIRM (T) is suitable for water temperatures up
to 60C and is designed and approved for use in drinking water eg.,
mineral spring and spa pumps. For particularly aggressive liquids refer to
OZOFLEX (PLUS) and PROTOMONT HD. The sheath colour is blue for
identification. The cable is in accordance with the Australian Standard AS
1125, AS 3116, AS 3191 and DIN VDE 0282 pt 810.

CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY

Current ratings are based on continuous operation at an ambient temperature
of 40C. At other temperatures these values must be converted using the
following factors. For HYDROFIRM (T) the water temperature should be
considered as the ambient depending on the % of cable submerged.

DESIGN
PROTOMONT heavy duty elastomer exible cables are designed for
aggressive environments in open cut mining and quarries, industry and
construction sites as well as agricultural use where heavy mechanical
stresses occur.
PROTOMONT cables consist of finely stranded tinned copper conductors
laid up to provide a exible design. Between the elastomer inner and outer
sheaths there is an overall tinned copper screen.
R-EP-90 elastomer insulation enables improved current carrying capacities
and a specially compounded XHD-PCP-90 outer sheath resists hard
and abrasive surfaces. The cable is in accordance with the Australian
Standard AS 1125, AS 3116, AS 3191 and DIN VDE 0250 pt 812 for
NSSHoeu. Flame retardant to VDE and MSHA.

DESIGN
PROTOFLEX 500 PVC control cables consist of finely stranded copper
conductors with V75 PVC insulation. The high grade PVC sheath is resistant
to oil, grease and chemicals.
PROTOFLEX 500CY PVC screened control cables have a PVC inner
and outer sheath with a copper braided shield between the sheaths which
serves to avoid electromagnetic interference (EMC) in building systems and
were equipment is in environments where Electromagnetic interference
would be unacceptable.
Designed for moderate mechanical loading, in dry, damp and wet areas
and in hazardous areas. Outdoor use is possible, provided that the cables
are protected from direct sunlight and are permanently installed.

SHIELD CONNECTION

PERMISSIBLE TEMPERATURE

In order to obtain optimum shielding quality, the shield must be connected

around its entire circumference and over an ample surface area at both
ends of the cable.

At conductor:

Twisting the shielding strands together into a pigtail or exclusive use of a

sheath wire is not sufficient.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electrical or electronic

equipment to function normally in an environment without being effected
by (EMI) electromagnetic and (RFI) radio frequency interferences or in turn
disturbing the environment by transmitting EMI or RFI.

MINIMUM BENDING RADII

The Siemens PROTOFLEX -EMV screened power cable consists of finely

stranded copper conductors with Cross Linked Poly Ethylene (XLPE)
insulation covered with a tinned copper braided screen and a PVC orange,
transparent sheath.

CORE COLOUR IDENTIFICATION

For cable cross sections greater than 16mm2 the earth conductor is divided
evenly into 3 seperate cores and uniformally located in the intersticial
gaps around the power cores. This achieves a truly concentric design in
accordance with the EMC standards.

For recommended bending radii refer to the selection and ordering data
tables.

The overall tinned copper braid screen is specifically designed for optimum
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) by taking into account the percentage
coverage, braid fan angle, and wire gauge which all results in a very low
transfer resistance. The screen offers a low DC resistance affording
protection from low frequency interference such as AC harmonics.
The cable is in accordance with AS 1125 for the conductors and AS 1347
for the sheath. Fire performance is according to IEC 06332- 1

EMC CABLE GLANDS

EMC CABLE GLANDS

THE SOLUTION
The 6 teeth of the lock nut are for equipotential bonding and scrape into
the insulating layers of paint or powder to create a vibration-resistant
contact.

EMC Cable Glands from Siemens are the perfect complement to

PROTOFLEX-EMV screen cables providing an efficient shield connection
that meets the requirements of both AS/NZS CISPR-11 and EN 55011.
Consisting of a few components they are quick and easy to install. Tightening
the pressure nut causes the insert to press against two taper rings which,
in turn, press on an endless spring washer, making its diameter taper, thus
permanently bonding the screen braid of the threaded cable. The result is
a low resistance connection between the cable screen and the housing
of the electrical equipment via the gland body.
In order to conform with the radio inter ference suppression
requirements set forth in EN 55011, the shield must be connected around
its entire circumference and over an ample surface area at both ends of
the cable.

ADVANTAGES

easily assembled
360 o bonding on screen
large sealing ranges
IP68
high attenuation
sheath can still be continued on into the equipment housing

THE EARTHING PROBLEM

The paint on cubicles and equipment housings has to be removed so
the metal gland body is in direct contact with the bare metal of the
equipment to ensure the earth bonding circuit is compliant.

CURRENT CARRYIING CAPACITY

TRAVEL SPEED

If, after all selection criteria have been taken into account, the type
of exible electric cable to be used for cranes and material handling
equipment has been decided on, the necessary cross-section of the
conductor can be determined either from the current to be transmitted
or from the power. Installation conditions (stretched laying, suspended
freely in the air, reeled), variations in ambient temperature, grouping,
type of operation (continuous duty, intermittent periodic duty) and the
use of multi-core cables are to be taken into account.

At high speeds close attention to other parameters eg bending radii,

cable tension and temperature must be adhered to.

TENSILE STRENGTH
CORDAFLEX has a maximum safe reeling tensile strength of 30N/mm2.
This ensures that no conductor deformation will occur in operation.
Dynamic tensile stresses such as start-up, braking and centre feed
pass-over should be taken into account.

VERTICAL SUSPENSION
When CORDAFLEX cables are vertically suspended care must be taken
to terminate the cable at the point of suspension. This can be done by
either stress relief drums with 21/2 turns of cable around the drum, cable
stockings correctly sized for the diameter and weight or cable clamps.
Refer to page 193. CORDAFLEX (SMK) control cables for vertical reeling
operations with 20 kN support element.
For CORDAFLEX steel core hangers or rope thimbles should be employed
to ensure correct tensile load bearing on the steel support rope. If the cable
is to pass or be guided over a roller sheave then this shall be specifically
dimensioned for the cable and shall have a minimum bending radius of
18 x cable diameter to distribute the tensile stress and compressive
forces over as wide a surface area as possible. The support element
must be terminated at the reeler.

APPLICATION
Flexible power and control cable, for use on festoon systems machine
tools, material handling equipment, associated with high mechanical
stresses and frequent bending during operation, also suitable for light
duty reeling applications.

DESIGN
RONDOFLEX cables consist of electrolytic copper, tinned finely stranded
conductors. The insulation is a PROTOLON MS which is a newly developed
special compound based on high quality EPR which provides improved
mechanical and electrical characteristics. For individually shielded cores
and twisted and shielded pairs the overall braided screen consists of
tinned copper wires. The transfer impedance is optimised at 30 MHz
and the surface area covered is approx 60% for shielded cores and 80%
for twisted and shielded pairs. The inner sheath is EPR, the outer sheath
is PCP. RONDOFLEX remains exible at sub zero temperatures and
high ambient temperatures. The construction is in accordance with the
Australian Standards AS1125, AS3116, AS3191 and VDE certificate with
VDE Reg No. 9809.

APPLICATION
For use on festoon systems, eg, on gantry cranes, hall gantry cranes, rack
material handling equipment, transportation systems or machine tools,
in particular for applications where there is a danger of interference to
data transmission systems from power cables. The cables are used for
high mechanical stresses and frequent bending, also suitable for use as
a exible motor power supply cable.

DESIGN
The RONDOFLEX (C) - FC cable consists of electrolytic copper, thinned
finely stranded conductors. The insulation is a PROTOLON MS which is a
newly developed special compound based on high quality EPR providing
improved mechanical and electrical characteristics. The overall braid screen
is made of tinned copper wires with a surface coverage of greather than
80%. The inner sheath is SBR, the black outer sheath is PCP allowing it to
remain exible at sub zero temperatures and also withstand extremely high
ambients. The construction is in accordance with the Australian Standards
AS1125, AS3116, AS3191 and VDE certificate with VDE Reg No. 9809.

SCREENED CONTROL/DATA CORES

Individually screened and twisted screened pair constructions have
been developed to enable interference free data/PLC transmission.
Screens consist of tinned copper wire braid with 95% coverage with an
extruded polymer skin to bond the screen to the insulation and enable
greater internal screen protection. Attenuation data for these screened
cores at various transmission rates is listed in tables 6.8 and 6.9 on Page
172/173. Integrated fibre optics are also available.

CORE COLOUR IDENTIFICATION

Control cables (up to
incl. 2.5mm2)

- black cores sequentially numbered,

including a green/yellow earth

4 Core
7 Core

- blue, brown, black and green/yellow

- black cores sequentially numbered,
including a green/yellow earth core

NOTES
The 7 core design permits two three phase supplies to be incorporated
within a single cable, each circuit sharing the full size earth.
For the system design the length of cable required for a festoon
is approximately +10% on the total trolley length.
For large or fast moving systems the stronger power cables should
have a shorter loop depth than the lighter control cables. These types
of festoons must always be fitted with tow ropes to limit whiplash and
conductor stress on acceleration and braking.

VOLTAGE RATING

DESIGN
This advanced cable design is used for vertical free-fall operation in outdoor
marine environments that require cable self coiling and uncoiling in a
collector basket. This design allows for a heavy construction which greatly
improves the coiling performance while giving a small cable diameter,
reducing the wind effect on the cable.
Extra finely stranded copper conductors are insulated with PROTODUR
cold resistant PVC. Conductors are grouped in bundles around lead beaded
weight element cords. The bundles are textile taped and laid up around the
central supporting element that consists of multiple lead beaded cords with
a KEVLAR reinforcing braid. Additional lead beaded weight element cords
and textile fillers complete the conductor assembly. A black polyurethane
sheath which is resistant to oil, grease, abrasion, and cold temperature
is extruded overall.
The cable should not be used for applications employing force guiding
devices such as reelers, guide rollers or sheaves.

The cable is designated 300/500V in accordance with VDE/IEC.

- Rated Voltage:
Uo/U
= 300/500V
- Maximum operating voltages in:
3 phase AC operation
Uo/U
= 318/550V
DC operation
Uo/U
= 413/825V
- AC test voltage
= 2kV

OPERATING SPEEDS
SPREADERFLEX is suitable for hoist speeds up to 120 m/per minute.

SUSPENSION LENGTH
The KEVLAR braided reinforcement messenger is rated to provide
a safety factor of fi ve when the cable is suspended vertically for
50 metres.
Note: Installation instructions are available on request

CORE COLOUR IDENTIFICATION

All control cores are black, sequentially numbered and include a green/

DESIGN
PROTOMONT heavy duty cables combine exibility with toughness to
provide long service life in aggressive operating conditions.
Finely stranded tinned copper conductors are rope laid to form a exible
construction. R-EP-90 elastomer insulation offers a high insulation
resistance and excellent current carrying capacity. Each power core has a
concentric screen of tinned copper wires and the entire conductor assembly
is bound together with a textile tape. Both the elastomer inner sheath and
heavy duty PCP outer sheath protect the cable from mechanical damage.
Control cores, when required, are laid up in the three interstices outside
the screens. The 5DL2 design is an overall screened version.

CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY

Current ratings are based on a continuous operating ambient temperature
of 40oC. At other temperatures these values must be converted using
the following table.

TENSILE STRENGTH
The maximum allowable tensile stress on the conductors is 15N/mm2.
This ensures no conductor damage will occur in operation.

TENSILE STRENGTH
The maximum allowable tensile stress is 15N/mm2.
This ensures no conductor damage will occur in operation.

DESIGN
MINING MSR cables consist of finely stranded copper conductors laid
up to provide a exible design. High grade Polyethylene insulation offers
improved capacitance values. The cores are twisted in pairs with alternate
length of lay to minimise cross talk, they exhibit excellent transmission
characteristics even at high data transmission rates.
An overall copper braid screen between the inner and outer sheath
provides protection against the external interferences of EMI, RFI and
high voltage fields.
The elastomer inner and outer sheath offers high mechanical strength, is
UV stabilised and moisture resistant.

DESIGN
Finely stranded tinned copper conductors laid up with a short length of lay to
provide a exible and robust conductor assembly. The PROTOLON R-EP-90
insulation provides high electrical characteristics and is manufactured using
a triple extrusion process together with the semi-conductive EPR conductor
and insulation screen. The semi-conductive screening combined with the
overall braided copper wire screen controls the electric field and prevents
partial discharge. The overall copper wire braid screen is in accordance with
AS 2802. The ame retardant heavy duty XHD-90-PCP sheath has a high
resistance to abrasion, tearing, lubricants, chemicals and weathering. The
PROTOLON sheath is coloured red for high voltage designation.

Formula for calculating the

fault level I thr of a cable

SUPPORT FOR VERTICALLY SUSPENDED CABLES

The anchoring of cables is best achieved with a stress relief drum. The
open ended construction facilitates installation and replacement while
affording better stress relief and jacket protection than cable grips. At
least 2 1/2 cable turns should be wound around the drum. Refer to the
minimum Bending Radii data for each cable type to determine the stress
relief drum diameter.

If sufficient clearance from adjacent conductors/cables is
allowed for then no de-rating is necessary. To avoid de-rating
a minimum clearance of 2 x cable O.D for horizontal, and
4 x cable O.D for vertical installation in air are given
in AS 3008.1
* Spaced in the above table indicates a clearance of 1 x cable
O.D between adjacent cables.
* Where cables concerned are not the same size, the spacing will be based on
the largest cable diameter in the adjacent groups.
