Multicore Copper Conductor XLPE Insulation Mining Cable Ground-Check

1. Application:

Use in stationary, horizontal, HV mine power, distribution circuits, for permanent
or semi-portable applications with power transmission in deep mines ,open pits,
tunnels, in conduit or duct, suitable for direct burial in wet or dry locations.

2. 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℃) cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) ICEA S-75-381/NEMA WC-58.

Insulation shield: extruded semi-conducting compound. bare copper tape 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, 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.

Jacket: Black flame retardant (90℃) PVC per ICEA S-75-381/NEMA WC-58. Available in optional colors .
