Type W Five-Conductor Round Portable Power Cable 2kV
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.
