Specification

2-3 Powerflex Type SHD-GC Mining Industrial Cable 2000v

Applications:

Powerflex Type SHD-GC electrical cables are designed for mobile, reeling, or stationary mining equipment, continuous mining machines or longwall loading machines, blast hole drillers, and heavy-duty trailing cables where maximum protection is required. It is suitable for medium and high voltage use on shovels, draglines, dredges, and cranes. This electrical cable is also suitable for high voltage distribution in mines and tunnels where more flexibility is desired, especially in vertical drops. Powerflex SHD-GC is also an excellent choice for marine ship to shore power supplies as it is designed for the harshest conditions and environments. 

Also Known As:

2-3 Powerflex Type SHD-GC Power Cable, 2-3 Powerflex SHD-GC Type Mining Power Feeder Cable, 2-3 Powerflex Type SHD-GC Cable, 2-3 Powerflex SHD-GC.

Standards:

• ASTM B-33 and B-172

• MSHA P-122 and Pennsylvania DER (P-122-53) accepted 
• UL 
• CSA 
• ICEA S-75-381/NEMA WC-58

Construction:

Conductor:

Soft drawn, annealed, tinned copper conductors

Insulation:

black flame resistant EPR that provides ozone, oil, water, solvent corrosive, and abrasion resistance. A mylar separator is applied under the insulation to aid in stripping. The insulation shield consists of a tinned 5-wire copper braid (60% coverage) duplexed with a nylon denier colored tracer (40% coverage). The assembly includes two tinned copper bare ground wires that maintain contact with the insulation shields and one yellow tinned copper HD EPR insulated ground checks for monitoring purposes. A served woven nylon polyester binder is applied over the cable for added core stability. 

Jacket:

 The outer jacket is a dual-layer, black, flame resistant, thermosetting CPE rubber that provides excellent resistance to UV, oil, water, solvents, corrosives, cuts, tears, and abrasion. A woven nylon polyester binder is served between the two jackets to provide added dynamic and mechanical resistance.

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. 

Specifications: 

Type MP-GC EPR cables comply with:

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