KGTP

Flexible power cable with copper conductors for mobile machines

KGTP is a flexible power cable with stranded copper conductors of flexibility class 5, and insulation and sheath made of a compound based on styrenic thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). It is designed for connecting mobile machines, mechanisms and equipment to electrical networks and to mobile power sources. Designation breakdown: K – cable, G – flexible, TP – thermoplastic elastomers.

Description of KGTP cable

KGTP is TCG's main flexible power cable for non-fixed installation and connection of mobile equipment. Stranded copper conductors of flexibility class 5 and elastic insulation/sheath made of styrenic thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) allow repeated bending without damage.

It is used for connecting welding machines, generators, compressors, power tools and moving parts of machine tools. It withstands at least 30 000 mechanical bending cycles and a temperature range of -40°C … +50°C. It is not intended for installation in places with a fire risk – for those, see KGNTP (flame-retardant).

Applications

Mobile machines, mechanisms and equipment

Welding machines, generators, compressors

Connection to mobile power sources

Power supply to construction sites and temporary facilities

Moving parts of machine tools and automated lines

Construction

Conductors

Stranded copper, flexibility class 5 per GOST 22483. The fine wires in the strand provide high flexibility and resistance to repeated bending.

Insulation

Compound based on styrenic thermoplastic elastomers (TPE-S). Retains its elasticity over a wide temperature range.

Stranding

The insulated cores are stranded together into a cable core.

Sheath

Styrenic thermoplastic elastomers, black. Resistant to oils, abrasion and repeated bending.
