Here the HIGH TEMP. cable is used for supplying power to the motor which operates the tundish valves, allowing the steel to pass from the tundish into the moulds. HIGH TEMP, cables are also used to power the tundish level controls.

: The cables are exposed to the radiating heat of the steel as well as to steel projections. It is   most important to have a reliable electrical system and to be able to close the valves   immediately in the case of a malfunction.

HIGH TEMP. cables are also used to power the tundish car. This is the car which lines up the tundish between the ladle and the moulds.

: The cable is exposed to steel spillage and projections.

This crane takes ingots from the ingot moulding to the heater. The motors are powered by V 35 and V 4,00 wires, the control is carried out by V 2,50 wires.

: 1 week to 6 months

: High level radiating heat from the ingots.

The blooms leaving the casting line are re-heted before being rolled. HIGH TEMP. cable supply power to the engines opening and closing the heater doors.

: The cable has never been changed after several years of use.

: The cable is exposed to radiating heat only during the opening of the furnace. The   temperature rises to 200°C. HIGH TEMP, cables have been chosen as a safety measure to   assure a good cable lifetime / to avoid any maintenance of the equipment.

: Silicon cable.
