Allowable Ampacity for 6 AWG 3C Stranded BC Unshielded XLPE PVC 8KV 100% Fleximining Medium Type MP GC Cable: 100 Amps

About:

The 6 AWG 3C Stranded BC Unshielded XLPE PVC 8KV 100% Fleximining Medium Type MP-GC Cable is a specialized electrical cable designed for medium-voltage, heavy-duty industrial applications.

Also Known As:

This cable is commonly referred to as Type MP-GC, with "MP" indicating Medium Power and "GC" denoting Grounding Conductors. It's a medium-voltage cable used in demanding industrial environments.

Application:

Mine power feeder cable, suitable in high-voltage distribution circuits for permanent or semi-portable installations in mining and industrial applications

Standards:

Typically, this cable meets standards set by the MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) for mining applications. It also likely conforms to relevant ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standards, which ensure its suitability for use in high-voltage and harsh environments.
