INTRODUCTION
Introduction
A tunnel boring machine (TBM) drives its power cable through continuous drum winding, torsion, tensile load, and a wet, dusty underground environment. The (N)TSCGEWOU reeling cable is a medium voltage flexible cable built for exactly this job. At 6/10kV, it is one of the most widely used reeling cables for TBM and shield machine power supply worldwide, available factory-direct from Shanghai Deru Cable.
What Is the (N)TSCGEWOU Reeling Cable?
A German-style designation for flexible, rubber-insulated medium voltage reeling cable, engineered to DIN VDE 0250-813 with conductors to DIN VDE 0295 / IEC 60228. Variants include (N)TSCGEWOEU (with fiber optic cores) and (N)TSCGEWTOEUS — designations recognized by engineers worldwide for fast specification and quotation.
Key characteristics
Medium voltage power: 3.6/6 kV to 12/20 kV (18/30 kV on request)
High flexibility for repeated winding on cable drums and reels
High torsional resistance during drum operation
Robust elastomer sheath for abrasion, oil and weather resistance
Optional fiber optic cores for data and control
Construction & Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Typical value |
|---|---|

Values follow DIN VDE 0250-813 and VDE 0298; final data confirmed on the data sheet.
Why TBM & Shield Machines Need It
Standard cables fail under TBM stresses: continuous reeling (repeated bending), high torsion (twisting destroys conductors), tensile loads (cable carries its own weight), and harsh environment (wet, dusty, confined). A dedicated reeling cable for TBM answers each with flexible conductor, torsional reinforcement and robust sheathing — exactly the (N)TSCGEWOU construction.
Applications
TBM and shield machines , segment erectors, roadheaders, stacker-reclaimers, cable reels/drums, overhead and gantry cranes, mining and port equipment.
Voltage Grades
3.6/6 kV (small/auxiliary TBM) · 6/10 kV (standard TBM main power) · 8.7/15 kV (large machines) · 12/20 kV (high-capacity drives). Custom cores, fiber optics, drum lengths and sheath options available.
