Applications | These cables are designed for use with mobile mining equipment such as continuous miners, drills, cutters, loading machines and AC shuttle cars. Type W cables are for applications where bare grounding conductors are not required or desired. |
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). |
Jacket | Reinforced 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 request. 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℃ |
