Applications | These cables are designed for use on electric mining locomotives and other mobile equipment of the gathering-reel type, where the cable must withstand constant flexing and reeling. |
Standards | ICEA S-75-381/NEMA WC 58 ASTM B 172 ASTM B 33 CAN/CSA C22.2 No.96 |
Construction | |
Conductors | Stranded annealed tinned copper conductor. |
Insulation | Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR). |
Reinforcement | A layer of polyester braid, applied between the insulation and jacket for mechanical strength. |
Jacket | Heavy-duty/extra-heavy-duty Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE), black. (Cables having a nominal outside diameter of more than 2.0 inches require extra-heavy-duty jackets.) |
Options | Other jacket materials such as CSP/PCP/NBR/PVC are available upon reques. Two-layer jacket with reinforcing fibre between the two layers can be offered as an option. |
Mechanical and Thermal Properties | Minimum Bending Radius: 6×OD Maximum Operating Temperature: +90℃ |
