Round G-Type Mining Cable, EPR/CPE, 2kV

General Description of Mining Cable Type G, 2kV

Multi-conductor cable consisting of three flexible, tinned soft copper conductors with individual thermosetting ethylene propylene (EPR) insulation, identified by color code (black, white, and red). It features three bare, tinned soft copper neutral conductors, appropriately filled to create a circular cross-section, and a thermosetting chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) outer sheath.

Specs

ICEA S-75-381 Portable and power feeder cables for use in mines and similar applications (Cables portátiles para minas).

Main Applications

Type G round mine cables are used to power haulage equipment or electric locomotives, where the cable is subjected to constant bending and coiling.

In mobile installations where a neutral conductor is required.

Features of Mining Cable Type G, 2kV

• Maximum operating voltage: 2000 V.
• Maximum operating temperature: 90°C.
• The conductors are made of soft, tinned copper in a flexible construction, in gauges from 8.37 to 253.4 mm2 (8 AWG to 500 kcmil).
• The ethylene propylene (EPR) insulation contributes to the cable’s flexibility.
• Textile reinforcement in the jacket gives the cable greater mechanical strength.
• Heavy-duty or extra-heavy-duty chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) outer sheath is resistant to mechanical abuse (tearing and abrasion), oils, acids, and alkalis.
• Resistant to flame propagation.
• The outer sheath is black.
• 2- and 4-conductor options are available.
