This cable is specifically designed for use in high voltage shore connection systems (HVCS), ensuring the safe and efficient transfer of electrical power from shore to ship.

Whether the vessel is docked or moored, this cable provides the critical link needed to supply electrical power from land-based sources, thereby reducing the need for onboard generators and significantly lowering emissions.

Why Choose Protolon (SC) for Shore-Connection Systems?

The Protolon (SC) (N)TSCGEWOEU is built to meet the demanding conditions of shore-connection systems, offering exceptional performance both onboard the ship and onshore.

Its medium voltage rating of 6/10kV makes it suitable for high-power applications, providing a safe and stable connection even under harsh environmental conditions. In addition, its unique design features help it adapt to a wide range of vessel types, ensuring compatibility and versatility.

Key Benefits:

High Voltage Capability: This cable is engineered to handle high voltage power transfers, making it ideal for large vessels that require a significant power supply.

Durable Design: Built to withstand harsh marine environments, it is resistant to UV rays, ozone, and moisture, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Data Transmission: In addition to power transfer, the cable features integrated control cores and fiber optics, ensuring reliable data transmission at high speeds.

Design Features

Conductor:

The cable's conductor is made of bare copper with a finely stranded class 5 design, complying with IEC 60228 standards. This ensures excellent electrical conductivity and flexibility, making it easier to handle during installation and maintenance.

Insulation:

The insulation material used is EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber), a high-performance material known for its ability to withstand high temperatures and electrical stresses. This provides a robust barrier against short circuits and electrical faults.

Core Arrangement:

The three-core design of this cable, with the cores arranged around a central support element, ensures a stable and symmetrical structure. This not only improves the cable's mechanical strength but also enhances its electrical performance by reducing electromagnetic interference (EMC).

Comparison with PROTOLON (SMK+HS) (N)TSKCGEWOEU

Both Protolon (SC) and Protolon (SMK+HS) cables are designed for heavy-duty applications, but there are a few key differences:

Protolon (SC) (N)TSCGEWOEU is primarily used in shore-connection systems, making it ideal for power transfer between land and sea. It includes features like fiber optics for high-speed data transmission, which are not typically found in the Protolon (SMK+HS) model.

Protolon (SMK+HS) is more suited for reeling applications in environments like mining or material handling, where the cable needs to endure constant movement and mechanical stress.

In summary, Protolon (SC) is optimized for marine environments, whereas Protolon (SMK+HS) excels in industrial applications.

Optical Fiber Capabilities

One of the standout features of the Protolon (SC) (N)TSCGEWOEU cable is its ability to handle fiber-optic data transmission. The cable incorporates the following fiber types:

G62.5/125μm (multi-mode graded index)

G50/125μm (multi-mode graded index)

E9/125μm (single-mode step index)

These fibers are arranged in a loose tube with a filling compound for added protection. This setup ensures trouble-free data transmission at high data rates, making it suitable for vessels that require real-time communication and monitoring.

Fiber Specifications:

Attenuation at 850nm: < 3.3 dB/km (G62.5/125μm), < 2.8 dB/km (G50/125μm)

Attenuation at 1310nm: < 0.9 dB/km (G62.5/125μm), < 0.8 dB/km (G50/125μm), < 0.4 dB/km (E9/125μm)

Mechanical and Electrical Performance

The Protolon (SC) cable is built to withstand the mechanical stresses of shore-connection systems. With a tensile strength of 20 N/mm² during normal operation and 25 N/mm² during acceleration, this cable is robust enough to handle the weight and tension involved in shore-to-ship power transfers.

In terms of electrical performance, the cable is rated for a maximum operating voltage of 6.9/12kV AC and 9/18kV DC. It also has a test voltage of 21kV AC, ensuring that it can safely handle high-voltage currents without the risk of breakdown.

Current-Carrying Capacity: The cable is designed to handle high current loads, in accordance with DIN VDE 0298 standards. This ensures that the cable can deliver sufficient power to meet the needs of large vessels, even in demanding conditions.

Thermal and Chemical Resistance

The Protolon (SC) (N)TSCGEWOEU cable is highly resistant to extreme temperatures and harsh chemicals, making it suitable for use in marine environments. The cable's operating temperature range is between -40°C and +80°C, ensuring it remains functional in both cold and hot conditions.

Additionally, the cable is resistant to oil, flame, ozone, and moisture, further enhancing its durability in maritime applications. This makes it an excellent choice for use in outdoor environments, where exposure to the elements is inevitable.

Versatile Applications

The Protolon (SC) (N)TSCGEWOEU is not just limited to shore-connection systems. It can also be used in various industrial applications where high-voltage power transfer and reliable data communication are required. For example, it is well-suited for use in:

Ports and harbors
