2-3 Type MP-GC EPR Mining Industrial Cable 8000v

Allowable Ampacity For 2-3 Type MP-GC EPR Mining Industrial Cable 8000V: 159 Amps

Applications:

Type MP-GC EPR Mining Industrial Cable is designed for use with stationary horizontal HV mine power distribution circuits and other mining industry applications. It can be used for permanent or semi-portable applications with power transmission in deep mines, strip mines, open pits, and tunnels. The electrical cable can be used in wet or dry locations, installed in conduit or duct (not to exceed maximum rated voltage). MP-GC XLP electrical cable is also suitable for direct burial applications. The cable is available in 5000V, 8000V, or 15000 voltage versions.

Also Known As:

2-3 Type MP-GC EPR Power Cable, 2-3 Type MP-GC EPR Cable, 2-3 MP-GC Type Mining Power Feeder Cable, 2-3 American Mustang Type MP-GC Cable, 2-3 Type MP-GC, 2-3 Type MP-GC EPR

Standards:

• ASTM B-3,B-8 and B-496 
• MSHA P-136 
• UL 
• CSA 

Construction:

Conductor:

American Mustang Type MP-GC cables have copper conductors covered by an extruded semi-conductive shield. 

Insulation:

V grade flame-resistant thermosetting EPR 100% insulation is ozone, oil, water, solvent, corrosion, and abrasion-resistant. The insulation shield consists of a helically applied three mil copper tape with a 1/2 overlap. The cable has two bare copper ground wires and one yellow heavy duty EPR insulated ground check. Non-wicking fillers are used to maintain a balanced round cross-section and a tight cable assembly. A woven nylon polyester reinforcement binder is applied over the completed assembly.

Jacket:

 Heavy-duty flame resistant CPE provides excellent resistance to UV, oil, water, solvents, corrosives, cuts, tears, and abrasion.

Applications:

Southwire’s American Mustang Type MP-GC cables are designed for use with stationary horizontal HV mine power distribution circuits. It can be use for permanent or semi-portable applications with power transmission in deep mines, strip mines, open pits, and tunnels. The cable can be used in wet or dry locations, installed in conduit or duct, (not to exceed maximum rated voltage), and suitable for direct burial applications.

Construction:

American Mustang Type MP-GC cables have compact copper conductors covered by an extruded semi-conductive conductor shield. The conductors are insulated with a HV grade flame resistant thermosetting EPR 100% insulation that is ozone, oil, water, solvent, corrosive and abrasion. The insulation shield consist of a helically applied 3 mil copper tape with a 1/2 over lap. The cable has two bare copper ground wires and one yellow heavy duty EPR insulated ground check. Non-wicking filler are used to maintain a balanced round cross section and a tightcable assembly. A woven nylon polyester reinforcement binder is applied over the completed assembly for added core to jacket integrity. The outer jacket is made with a heavy duty flame resistant CPE that provides excellent resistance to UV, oil water solvents, corrosives, cuts, tears, and abrasions.
