Type SHD Power, Flat Portable W/Ground | EPR/CPE 2000V Mining Cable | MSHA & ICEA Compliant

Product Overview

Type SHD Power, Flat Portable W/Ground Cable is a heavy-duty trailing cable engineered for harsh mining and industrial environments. Rated for 2000V and 90°C operation, this three-conductor cable features flame-retardant EPR insulation, reinforced CPE jacket, and a flexible copper/textile braid shield for shock hazard protection. Compliant with ICEA S-75-381 and MSHA standards, it delivers exceptional resistance to oil, chemicals, heat, and mechanical stress, making it ideal for AC mining equipment and high-risk applications.

Key Features

• Mining-Grade Durability: Flame-retardant EPR/CPE construction withstands abrasion, oil, and radiation.

• Shock Hazard Protection: Flexible copper/textile braid shield over non-conductive tape for safe operation.

• Flat Design: Optimized for trailing applications with easy handling and reduced tangling.

• MSHA Certification: Approved for use in underground mining and hazardous locations.

• Triple Safety: Two shaped grounding conductors + semi-conducting shield for enhanced grounding reliability.

Construction Details

Technical Specifications

• Standards Compliance: ICEA S-75-381, MSHA P-184, ASTM B172.

• Flame Resistance: Meets MSHA flame test requirements (UL VW-1 equivalent).

• Conductor Sizes: 2/0 AWG or 3/0 AWG (custom sizes available).

• Environmental Resistance: Oil, steam, chemicals, UV, and abrasion.

Applications

Type SHD Power Cable is engineered for:

• Mining Operations: Trailing cables for AC-powered drills, shovels, and haulers.

• Heavy Machinery: Draglines, excavators, and underground vehicles.

• Industrial Plants: High-voltage equipment in chemical or oil-refining facilities.

• Tunneling & Construction: Rugged power feeds in confined, high-vibration spaces.

• Hazardous Locations: Areas requiring shielded cables to prevent electrical hazards.

Installation Guidelines

• Bending Radius: Minimum 10x cable height to avoid shield/jacket damage.

• Grounding: Ensure proper bonding of shield and grounding conductors per MSHA/NEC.

• Pulling Tension: Use MSHA-approved grips to prevent conductor deformation.

• Prohibited Uses: Avoid sharp edges or continuous flexing beyond design limits.

• Storage: Coil flat to maintain shape and prevent kinking.

Why Choose Type SHD Power Cable?

• Safety First: Shields mitigate induced voltages and shock risks in mining systems.

• Extreme Durability: Reinforced CPE jacket resists cuts, tears, and environmental wear.

• Regulatory Assurance: MSHA and ICEA compliance for legal and operational safety.

• Flexibility: Flat, flexible design simplifies deployment in tight spaces.

• Longevity: EPR insulation ensures thermal stability under continuous 90°C loads.
