Cables for Underground and Surface Mining

Type W cables are non-shielded, 2 kV flexible portable power cables with full size ground conductors (in constructions above 2C) for use in industrial and mining applications. Type W cables come in flat constructions that resist crushing and minimize kinking for applications where cables will see high degrees of flexing and twisting, as well as round constructions ideal for use with mobile mining equipment as they are easy to handle, move and relocate. They are available with tinned copper conductors for enhanced flex life and increased resistance to wire breakage for applications that require repetitive movement, as well as bare copper ground conductors for a cost-effective solution in applications where the cable is not being subjected to repetitive movement.

Type G and G-GC cables are non-shielded, 2 kV flexible portable power cables with ground wires for each conductor. Additionally, Type G-GC cables include a “ground check” wire that provides fail-safe ground monitoring for maximum safety. Type G and G-GC cables come in flat constructions that resist crushing and minimize kinking for applications where cables will see high degrees of flexing and twisting, as well as round constructions ideal for use with mobile mining equipment as they are easy to handle, move and relocate. They are available with tinned copper conductors for enhanced flex life and increased resistance to wire breakage for applications that require repetitive movement, as well as bare copper conductors for a cost-effective solution in applications where the cable is not being subjected to repetitive movement.

Type SHD-GC cables are shielded, heavy-duty portable power cables offered in voltages of 2 kV up to 35 kV designed for use as trailing cables on AC mining equipment where a ground-check conductor is required for fail-safe monitoring and where induced voltages in the grounding system will not produce a hazard. Additionally, they can be used for low- and medium-voltage AC circuits where shielding is desired or required. Our SHD-GC cables feature a reinforced, two-layer, extra-heavy-duty, lead-cured Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) jacket. For maximum shield flex life, they come with Tinned Copper/Textile Composite Braid Shielding. SHD-GC cables are available with tinned copper conductors for enhanced flex life and increased resistance to wire breakage for applications that require repetitive movement, as well as bare copper conductors for a cost-effective solution in applications where the cable is not being subjected to repetitive movement.

Type MP-GC cables are shielded power cables offered in voltages of 5 kV up to 35 kV intended for relatively stationary installation in underground, aerial, duct or direct burial applications. These round mining-grade power feeder cables are easy to handle. The heavy-duty single layer jacket provides mechanical protection and increased resistance to abrasion, cutting, tear and torsion.

Tunneling Cables

Type SHD-GC cables are shielded, heavy-duty portable power cables offered in voltages of 2 kV up to 25 kV designed for use as trailing cables on AC mining equipment where a ground-check conductor is required for fail-safe monitoring and where induced voltages in the grounding system will not produce a hazard. Additionally, they can be used for low- and medium-voltage AC circuits where shielding is desired or required. Our SHD-GC cables feature a reinforced, two-layer, extra-heavy-duty, lead-cured Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) jacket. For maximum shield flex life, they come with Tinned Copper/Textile Composite Braid Shielding. SHD-GC cables are available with tinned copper conductors for enhanced flex life and increased resistance to wire breakage for applications that require repetitive movement, as well as bare copper conductors for a cost-effective solution in applications where the cable is not being subjected to repetitive movement.
