TYPE MP-GC XLPE INSULATED PVC SHEATH MINING CABLE 5-25 kV 4AWG TO 500MCM

APPLICATIONS

Suitable for use as follows:
• Use in stationary, horizontal, HV mine power, distribution circuits, for permanent or
semi-portable applications with power transmission in deep mines, surface mines,
open pits, tunnels, in conduit or duct, suitable for direct burial in wet or dry locations.
For vertical drop requirements consult with factory application specialist.

CONSTRUCTION

• Conductors: Bare, soft drawn, annealed copper per ASTM B-3, compact stranded
per ASTM B-496.
• Strand Shield: Extruded semi-conducting compound.
• Insulation: Flame resistant (90°C) Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLP) ICEA S-75-381/
NEMA WC-58.
• Insulation Shield: Extruded semi-conducting compound, bare copper tape
(0.003") helically applied.
• Color Code: Black, White, Red nylon tracer tape applied between the insulation
semi-conductive layer and the copper tape shield.
• Ground Wires: Uninsulated, soft drawn, annealed, compact stranded, bare copper
per ASTM B-496, B-8 and B-33.
• Ground Check: Soft drawn, annealed, compact stranded, bare copper with yellow
EPR insulation.
• Cabling: Three shielded conductors are assembled in a helical configuration with two
uninsulated ground wires, one yellow insulated ground check and non-wicking fillers
as needed. A woven nylon polyester reinforcement binder is served over the entire
assembly for increased stability.
• Reinforcement: A woven nylon polyester reinforcement binder is applied over the
completed assembly for added core stability.
