Insulation: Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) insulation resistant to sunlight, water, ozone, abrasion, acids, alkalis, heat, flame, and chemicals. [/short] Type G Portable Power and Mining Cable Type G Portable and Mining Cable is a large group of heavy duty mining cables supplied by Nassau National Cable. This type of cable has many uses especially in applications based on harsh and punishing environments. No application brings the best out of Type G Portable and Mining Cable like a rigorous and heavy duty mining activity. This cable is designed to power a drill-bit that drills deep down into the earth crust. The Type G Portable and Mining Cable is an 8 AWG to 500MCM gauge power cable with multiple color-coded conductors and a drain wire each of between 8AWG and 500 MCM. The conductors are made of fully annealed stranded bare copper wire. The Type G Portable and Mining Cable is a 3 phase power cable that efficiently wires power of up to 2000V through a sophisticated system, this application is carried out for many years without the worry of cable overhauls. This copper conductor is then insulated with a premium grade EPDM insulator. An overall CPE jacket is then put over the underlying insulated conductors. Type G Portable and Mining Cable is tailored for medium to heavy duty applications, although it is specialized for mining activities. This cable is of high quality and is approved by the International Standard bodies to be fit for heavy duty applications. Key Features of Type G Portable and Mining Cable • Fully annealed stranded bare copper conductor• 8 AWG gauge size conductor.• ASTM B 174 stranding• Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) insulation• Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) jacket• -40°C to 90°C temperature range• Meets all MSHA and UL flame tests Construction Type G Portable and Mining Cable have multiple conductors of 8 AWG gauge sizes. It is fitted with fully annealed bare copper conductors of ASTM 174 stranding and a tin-plated drain wire. All the conductors and drain wire has EPDM insulation with an overall CPE jacket. Conductors Type G Portable and Mining Cable is fitted with fully annealed stranded copper conductors. Copper wire is an excellent electrical conductor. Annealing and stranding improves its good properties. The copper wire is annealed through controlled heat treatment that makes it flexible and with high tensile strength. High tensile strength is a good attribute that helps it to resist breakage, stretch and creep under high tension. Stranding on the other hand involves wounding many wires together into a uniformly aligned rope lay. Stranding increases the thickness of the cable, therefore, providing a large surface area for conduction. Increase in the surface area of the conductor minimizes the rate of power loss and reduces the internal resistance of the conductors. Type G Portable and Mining Cable functions effectively in circuits of up to 2000V and a wide temperature range of between -40°C and 90°C. This means the cable can function in wet areas and even submerged environments. The cable also has a drain wire which helps to dissipate excess heat from the system and to counter the effect of electromagnetic induction. Insulation Insulation of the conductors plays a big role in user safety and protection of the conductor. The insulator having very low electrical conduction enables the user to handle the cable without the risk of an electric shock. Type G Portable and Mining Cable have Ethylene Propylene insulation. EPDM is a synthetic rubber material that exhibits high resistance to UV lights, abrasion, ozone, moisture, oils and acids. It high tensile strength also comes in handy to protect the conductor from the harsh punishing mining environs. Jacketing A cabling jacket is majorly used to hold the underlying internal components of the cable like the conductors and the drain wire together. Besides that, the jacket protects the conductors from mechanical and chemical elements that would deplete it and reduce its efficiency. Type G Portable and Mining Cable is jacketed with Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE). CPE being a thermoplastic material is very sturdy and robust to withstand the harsh mining environment. CPE is also mechanically strong with very high structural rigidity and excellent flexibility thus suitable for its function in the mining sites. Approval and Certification Type G Portable and Mining Cable as a mining cable is tested and proven to be fit for application in mining sites by the following approval bodies: • UL• RoHS• MSHA• NEC Article 400• CSA Applications The Type G Portable and Mining Cable is mainly tailored to serve in mining industries but it also has a wide range of applications that include:• Platforms for oil drilling• Shipyards and Marinas• Equipment for portable power generation• Surface Mining• Mineral processing facilities• Underground and submerged mining• Drill bit circuits Availability Type G Portable and Mining Cable is available for sale in different sizes and quantities at Nassau National Cable at affordable prizes. The cable is available for sale from a minimum of 10Ft to a maximum of up to 1000Ft. There is provision for shipping for those in distant countries.
