UL/cUL Approved Type SHD-GC Mining Cable 2KV 3×6+2×10+1×10 AWG

Type SHD-GC Mining Cable 2KV 3x6AWG+2x10AWG+1x10AWG - UL and cUL Approved

Product Overview

The Type SHD-GC Mining Cable is a heavy-duty 2KV mining cable designed for maximum protection in demanding mining and industrial applications. It is suitable for use with mobile, reeling, or stationary mining equipment, continuous mining machines, longwall loading machines, blast hole drillers, and heavy-duty trailing cable where maximum protection is required.

Type SHD-GC is also an excellent choice for shovels, draglines, dredges, cranes, and marine ships to shore power supply whenever extra durability is required.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Heavy-Duty Mining Construction: Designed for mobile, reeling, and stationary mining equipment.

  • Maximum Protection: Suitable for continuous mining machines, longwall loading machines, blast hole drillers, and heavy-duty trailing cable.

  • Durable Jacket System: Mold cured, extra heavy-duty, pure integral fill, dual layer, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) jacket.

  • Flexible Conductors: Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, flexible, rope-lay stranded copper per ASTM B-33/B-172.

  • EPR Insulation: Black flame resistant Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) with ozone, oil, water solvents, corrosive, and abrasion resistance per ICEA S-75-381/NEMA WC-58.

  • Copper Braid Shield: Tin coated copper braid shield with 60% minimum phase coverage.

  • Ground Check: Yellow, flame resistant, High Durometer EPR insulation over tin coated, rope bunched, flexible lay copper.

  • Jacket Reinforcement: Woven nylon polyester binder between inner and outer jacket layers for improved mechanical integrity.

  • Alternate Options: Alternate jacket colours and reflective stripes available in High Tensile Rhino-X Jacket (consult factory).

Typical Applications

  • Mobile, reeling, or stationary mining equipment

  • Continuous mining machines

  • Longwall loading machines

  • Blast hole drillers

  • Heavy-duty trailing cable where maximum protection is required

  • Shovels, draglines, dredges, and cranes

  • Marine ships to shore power supply where extra durability is required

Construction Details

  • Conductors: Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, flexible, rope-lay stranded copper per ASTM B-33/B-172.

  • Separator: A separator tape is applied between the conductor and insulation to facilitate stripping.

  • Insulation: Black flame resistant Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), ozone, oil, water solvents, corrosive, and abrasion resistant per ICEA S-75-381/NEMA WC-58.

  • Shield Separator: An SBR tape is applied to each primary phase’s insulation, 1/2 overlap with adhesive side up.

  • Conductor Shield: Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, copper braid shield (60% min. phase coverage), duplexes with nylon textile buffer colour code tracer (40% max. phase coverage).

  • Colour Code: Red, Black, Blue.

  • Ground Wires: Tin coated, uninsulated, soft drawn, annealed, rope bunched, flexible lay construction, per ASTM B-172 and B-33.

  • Ground Check: Yellow, flame resistant, High Durometer Ethylene Propylene Rubber (HD EPR) insulation over tin coated, rope bunched, flexible lay copper.

  • Cabling: Three insulated shielded conductors are assembled in a helical configuration with two non-insulated ground wires and one yellow HD EPR insulated ground check. A woven nylon polyester binder is served over the entire cable assembly for added core stability.

  • Jacket Reinforcement: A woven nylon polyester binder is served between the inner and outer jacket layers for improved mechanical integrity.

  • Jacket: Mold cured, extra heavy-duty, pure integral fill, dual layer, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) jacket. Alternate jacket colours and reflective stripes available in High Tensile Rhino-X Jacket (consult with factory).
