Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining cable technology, and in particular to a waterproof and flame-retardant mining cable sheath and cable. Background Technology

[0002] Power cables for coal mines are suitable for power transmission lines inside coal mines. Due to the harsh environment in mines, where oil and water are frequently present, the cable itself faces severe challenges. Long-term immersion in this oil-water mixture easily corrodes and damages the sheath. When water enters the sheath, the electric field causes water treeing in weak areas of the insulation material, ultimately leading to insulation breakdown. Furthermore, in the event of a fire in the mine, the cable must possess high flame-retardant properties to prevent the spread of the accident. Existing waterproof coatings for mining cables are mostly located in the interlayer, failing to form an effective external barrier; the external flame-retardant coating often poses safety hazards due to the lack of insulation on the conductive materials. Therefore, a waterproof and flame-retardant mining cable sheath and cable with optimized waterproof coating placement and ensured insulation of the external flame-retardant coating are needed.
