Construction

Conductors:

  • Tinned annealed copper. Each wire positively positioned in the strand to distribute stress evenly and provide longer flex life.

Strand Shield:

  • Extruded semi-conducting shield minimizes formation of harmful ozone and helps distribute stress evenly to provide a longer life.

Insulation:

  • Ethylene propylene rubber. Rated for 90°C. Has superior overload (130°C) and short circuit (250°C) protection.

Shield:

  • Tinned copper braid over color-coded semi-conducting tape (on 5KV and above).
  • Increases safety, helps distribute stress more evenly and inhibits formation of harmful ozone.

Ground Wires:

  • Tinned copper positioned in the interstices to ground the shields.

Ground Check Wires:

  • Stranded bare copper insulated with ethylene propylene rubber.

Conductor Identification:

  • The colors are black, white and red. The grounding conductors are uninsulated and the ground check conductor is yellow.

Reinforcing Braid:

  • Textured fiber composition cord. An extra strength fiber cord which helps retain cable configuration under severe crushing and stress.

Jacket:

  • Reinforced double pass extra heavy-duty hypalon®. This jacketing is tough, durable and highly flexible. It has superior resistance to crushing, abrasion, compression, impact, chemicals, water, aging, weathering and harmful ozone. Colors other than black are available on special order.

Applications:

  • Suitable applications include power supply cables to open pit, strip and deep mines. Also to provide power to shovels, dredges, cranes and drag lines. They can be used in wet or dry locations and are rated 90°C for continuous conductor temperature.

Industry Approvals:

  • Reinforced extra heavy-duty Hypalon® Jacket.
  • Extra flexible tinned copper conductors.
  • Rated 2KV, 5KV, 8KV or 15KV. 90°C continuous.
  • Excellent flame resistance.
  • MSHA and Penna. Division of mine safety accepted.
  • Braided tinned copper shields for flexing service.

Standards:

  • Designed and constructed in accordance with ICEA-NEMA standards. (ICEA Publication No. S-68-516 and NEMA Publication No. WC8).

Frequently Asked Questions

SHD-GC identifies a shielded, heavy-duty portable power cable that includes a ground-check conductor.

This construction is designed for demanding power applications where equipment may move during operation and grounding integrity is especially important. The ground-check feature distinguishes SHD-GC from similar cable constructions that do not include a dedicated conductor for the ground-monitoring circuit.

The ground-check conductor allows a compatible monitoring system to verify continuity of the equipment grounding path.

Rather than carrying normal equipment power, the ground-check conductor works as part of the electrical protection system. If the monitored grounding circuit is interrupted, the system can identify the loss of continuity and respond according to the equipment and protection design.

SHD-GC cable is intended for heavy-duty portable or trailing service, while mine power feeder cable is generally used to deliver power to mine distribution or load centers.

The distinction is important when cable will be connected to equipment that moves, reels, or changes position during operation. A feeder installation and a trailing-cable application can have very different mechanical, grounding, and flexibility requirements even when their system voltages are similar.

Cable diameter can affect compatibility with reels, couplers, glands, equipment openings, and cable-handling systems.

Two cables with similar conductor sizes or voltage ratings may not have identical outside diameters. When replacing an existing shovel or dragline cable, checking the nominal O.D. can help prevent fit problems with existing equipment and connection hardware.

No. Voltage rating and current-carrying capacity describe different cable requirements.

The voltage rating indicates the electrical system class for which the cable construction is designed. Current capacity is influenced by factors such as conductor size, cable construction, operating conditions, and installation. Buyers should therefore match both the required voltage class and ampacity rather than assuming a higher-voltage cable automatically supports a larger electrical load.
