Description

Product Overview

Type SHD-CGC Shield Ground-Check Power Cable 5KV is engineered for maximum safety in heavy-duty mining applications where ground-check monitoring and metallic shielding are mandatory. This cable provides superior protection against induced voltages and hazardous conditions in underground mining operations, featuring robust construction with specialized grounding systems.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Enhanced Safety System: Integrated ground-check conductor provides fail-safe monitoring for maximum safety

  • Superior Shielding Protection: Flexible coated copper/textile braid shield prevents shock hazards

  • Exceptional Durability: Reinforced two-layer CPE jacket resists cutting, impact, abrasion, and flame

  • Extended Flexibility: Rope-lay-stranded conductors per ASTM B172 with specialized stranding for ground-check conductor

  • Environmental Resistance: Excellent heat, moisture, steam, oil, chemical and radiation resistance

  • Thermal Stability: Maintains physical properties over a broad temperature range
