Type SHD-CGC Shield Ground-Check Power Cable 5KV | Mining Trailing Cable | EPR CPE

Mining Cables
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.

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

Applications

Critical mining applications requiring maximum safety:

  • Longwall Shearer Equipment: Trailing cables for underground mining machines

  • Continuous Miners & Loaders: Mobile equipment requiring grounding conductors
