MSHA-Approved Type W 2000V Cable - Flat Parallel 4-Conductor, EPR/CPE for Mining & Heavy Industry

Product Overview

The Type W Power, Flat Parallel Portable Cable is a heavy-duty, flame-retardant cable engineered for demanding mining and industrial applications. Featuring ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation, chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) jacket, and a flat parallel design, this cable delivers exceptional flexibility, abrasion resistance, and electrical stability in harsh environments. Rated for 2000V and 90°C operation, it complies with MSHA and ICEA standards, making it ideal for trailing mining equipment, portable machinery, and high-stress industrial setups.

Key Features:

  • Voltage Rating: 2000V.

  • Temperature Rating: 90°C (continuous).

  • Construction: 4 color-coded EPR-insulated conductors + flat parallel design for flexibility.

  • Certifications: ICEA S-75-381, MSHA-approved, flame-retardant.

  • Durability: Extra-heavy CPE jacket resists oil, abrasion, and mechanical stress.

Construction Details

  1. Conductor:

    • Material: Tinned annealed copper for corrosion resistance and conductivity.

    • Stranding: Rope-lay stranding (ASTM B172) ensures flexibility and fatigue resistance.

  2. Insulation:

    • EPR: Withstands high temperatures (90°C), resists ozone, oils, and chemicals.

    • Color Coding: Black, white, red, and green for easy phase identification.

  3. Jacket:

    • CPE: Lead-cured, ultra-durable jacket protects against crushing, cuts, and environmental hazards.

    • Flat Parallel Design: Reduces bending radius and simplifies installation on reels or equipment.


Applications

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

  • Portable Machinery: Generators, pumps, and temporary power distribution.

  • Heavy Industry: Construction sites, oil rigs, and rugged outdoor environments.

  • MSHA-Compliant Zones: Areas requiring flame-retardant, high-safety cabling.


Compliance & Certifications

  • ICEA S-75-381: Standards for portable and feeder cables in mining.

  • MSHA Approval: Meets flame resistance and safety requirements for mining applications.

  • Flame Retardancy: Passes stringent vertical flame tests for hazardous environments.


Engineering Advantages

  1. Flexibility: Flat parallel design and rope-lay stranding enable easy handling and repeated bending.

  2. Safety: Flame-retardant CPE jacket minimizes fire risks in volatile settings.

  3. Durability: Resists oil, moisture, and physical damage for extended service life.

  4. Compliance: MSHA and ICEA certifications ensure suitability for regulated mining operations.
