APPLICATION
The 241.1 cable is specifically engineered for the Australian mining
industry and manufactured in accordance with AS 1802. It is an extra
heavy duty semi conductive screened cable for mining applications
including supply cable for underground cutting machines and pumping

DESIGN
The Protomont 241.1 cable is for aggressive environments in mining
where high mechanical stresses occur from reeling and trailing. A semi
conductive cradle separator encapsulates the central pilot core and
interstitial earth conductors. The semi conductive layer ensuring a high
conductivity low resistance earth circuit. The conductors consist of very
finely stranded tinned copper wires, rope laid to maximise flexibility.
The power cores have an inner semi-conductive layer around their
conductors. A reinforced polyester braid is embedded between the inner
and outer sheaths forming a vulcanised bond protecting against the
effects of torsional forces during operation. The specially compounded
CPE outer sheath resists damage from hard and abrasive surfaces
protecting the cable from mechanical damage.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE

CURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY

Current ratings are based on continuous operation at an ambient
temperature of 40°C. At other temperatures these values must be
converted using the following table.
°C 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80
Factor 1.26 1.20 1.15 1.10 1.05 1.00 0.94 0.88 0.81 0.73 0.65 0.57 0.47 0.34

The values are valid for permanent operation with DC or AC with 50 up to

60 Hz. Touching a surface, two or three cores loaded, multi-core cables all
cores loaded.

VOLTAGE RATING
■ Rated voltage: Uo/U = 1.1kV
■ Maximum operating voltages in:
3 phase AC operation Uo/U = 1.1/1.1kV
DC operation Uo/U = 0.9/1.8kV
■ AC test voltage = 3kV

MINIMUM BENDING RADII

The following minimum bending radii should be observed to ensure
operating reliability.
■ For fixed installation 4 x cable diameter
■ When freely flexing 5 x cable diameter

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

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

■ Designed for Australia’s extreme mining conditions
Specifically engineered product derived from extensive
research and development to maximise the installations
performance and reliability.
■ Extensive Industry Knowledge
Experience & knowledge derived from decades of heavy
involvement in the Global and Australian mining markets. Our
factory specialises in both underground and open cut cables
■ Quality Control
Exceptional quality is achieved through stringent quality
control and continuous improvement processes.
■ Exceptional Flexibility
Constructed with premium grade very finely stranded copper
wire. Short length of lay to maximise flexibility ensuring a user
friendly product.
■ Compact Robust Construction
Exceptionally tough. Our specifically designed CPE outer
sheath resists damage from tearing, notching & abrasion
yet provides extreme flexibility. Reinforced polyester braid
embedded between the inner and outer CPE sheaths protects
against the effects of torsional forces during operation.
■ Return on Investment
Don’t risk expensive cable downtime.
