The coke guide pushes the coke from the furnace to the ladle car. As the coke reaches temperatures of up to 1200°C, the use of high temperature cable is necessary. They supply power to the guide motors as well as to the lighting on top of the furnace doors where the radiating heat is very hight The sensors positioning the coke guide are powered by.

: Flame,
: Environment.

The limit switches of the ladle car is powered by a HIGH TEMP cable 3 x 1,50 As the temperature is ambiant the use of HIGH TEMP type cable is not necessary Nevertheless, the radiating heat of the coke and to water spraying. For this application, proposed with PFA outer jacket (260°C continuous use).

: Radiating heat
: Moisture

The burners ignite the coke to turn it into an incandescent mixture. The cable supplies power to the motorized valves which regulate the air/gaz output allowing the ignition of the burner.

: 1 week to 6 months

: The radiating heat reaches 800^oC. Occasionally, flames are rising to the valves licking the   cables during several minutes.

The conglomerate is poured into the cooling system through a hopper equipped with a flap detecting the minimum, maximum and overflow level. Hot air (200°C) cools down the conglomerate. Near to the flap, the radiating heat of the 800°C incandescent material reaches between 400 and 600°C. The cables situated near to the flap are exposed to theses temperatures on an estimated length of 5 m.

: As an extra length of cable is installed during the first wiring, the end of the cable, most   exposed to the heat, can be replaced before the total length must be changed normally after   one year.

: Radiating heat (800°C).

: Cable with asbestos braid. At high temperatures this braid was cracking and the heat   resistance was less efficient.
