S-3GSHCOEU and S-3GSHXOEU 1kV Turbine Cables

The S-3GSHCOEU & S-3GSHXOEU cables - sometimes seen written as S-3GSHCÖU / S-3GSHXÖU - are low voltage flexible copper power cables for use in wind turbines (windmills), manufactured in accordance with American standard UL 758 as well as DIN VDE 0250.

S-3GSHCOEU and S-3GSHXOEU Cable Specification

The S-3GSHCOEU is used within wind farm applications as a single core cable, and the S-3GSHXOEU cable is available as single or multi-cores as appropriate. With a rubber compound insulation, the S-3GHSCOEU cable has a CPE (Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene) sheath, whilst the S-3GHSXOEU cable has an EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) sheathing. The CPE sheathing of the S-3GHSCOEU cable is ideal for outdoor use in wind turbine applications, offering low water absorption properties, high resistance to ozone and weathering, and has mechanical resistance to impact, abrasion, crushing & chipping. It also offers a wide temperature range, suited to the environment it is likely installed into, and has excellent fire resistance properties. Meanwhile, the EVA sheathing on the S-3GSHXOEU cable offers excellent thermal resistance and similar flexibility even at low temperatures, along with water resistance and ozone resistance. It also offers high tensile strength.

S-3GSHCOEU and S-3GSHXOEU Voltage Ratings

These flexible copper conductor cables are designed for applications with a voltage rating of 600/1000V 0.6/1kV, under medium mechanical stresses - the S-3GHSCOEU cable benefits from the addition of a tinned copper wire braid to offer screening against adjacent power and signalling interference.

These cables, along with our portfolio of torsion resistant power and aluminium turbine tower power cables, provide power to the turbine towers, and are supported by a range of control, data and fibre cables that send data and control operations.
