TSFLCGEWOEU is a German VDE standard medium-voltage flat reeling cable specifically designed for festoon systems and cable drums on large industrial cranes, port machinery, and heavy industrial equipment operating at medium voltage (typically 3.3 kV or 6 kV). The designation encodes its construction: T=twisted cores, S=steel wire reinforcement, FL=flat, C=chloroprene sheath, G=screened, E=extra-flexible, W=weather-resistant, O=oil-resistant, EU=European standard.
Constructed with EPDM-insulated medium voltage cores, conductive screens, integrated steel wire reinforcement, and a chloroprene flat outer sheath, TSFLCGEWOEU combines the flat festoon advantages with the electrical performance required for MV crane drives. Rated 3.3 kV to 6 kV; 3 power cores with pilot and earth cores; cross-sections 10 mm² to 95 mm².
| Parameter | Value |

| Temp. Range | ‑40°C to +90°C |
| Standard | VDE 0250 |
For large cranes with motor drives exceeding 200 kW, supplying power at 3.3 kV or 6 kV reduces current by 4–13× compared to 400V — dramatically reducing cable cross-section, voltage drop, and I²R losses. TSFLCGEWOEU enables MV power delivery in festoon and drum systems that previously required LV step-down transformers at the crane.
