Type G Cable 2 kV portable mining power cable
TEBAOFLEX Type G Cable is a 2,000 V portable power cable for three- and four-wire AC systems requiring grounding. The supplied Type G Mining Cable information identifies industrial and mining uses, including mining equipment, cranes, conveyors, mobile equipment, electromagnets and oil-drilling equipment. Its stated design combines flexible annealed stranded copper conductors, colour-coded EPDM insulation, multiple insulated grounding conductors and a reinforced thermoset CPE jacket.
The Type G Cable configuration uses the same number of ground wires as primary conductors. The supplied information states that the total ground-wire cross-sectional area is roughly equal to that of the primary conductors. This arrangement, along with the supplied EPDM insulation and CPE outer jacket, is intended for portable cable duties exposed to heat, acids, oil, moisture and demanding environmental conditions.
- Voltage rating: 2,000 V.
- Temperature range: −40°C to +90°C.
- Available construction: three or four pure stranded copper phase conductors with three or four green ground wires.
- Size range: 8 AWG to 500 MCM.
For the final Type G Mining Cable selection, confirm conductor count, size, equipment connection, route, ambient conditions, required approvals, length and documentation. Explore the mining and tunneling cable range for related portable cable constructions.
Type G Cable construction
The supplied Type G Cable design uses flexible copper phase conductors and matching green grounding conductors within EPDM insulation and a reinforced CPE outer jacket.
| Construction element | Supplied Type G Mining Cable reference |
|---|---|
| Phase conductors | Fully annealed stranded bare or tin-coated copper; rope-lay stranding for flexibility |
| Insulation | Premium-grade colour-coded 90°C ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) |
| Ground conductors | Green EPDM-insulated bare or tinned copper stranding; same number as primary conductors |
| Ground-wire area | Total area stated as roughly equal to the primary-conductor cross-sectional area |
| Outer jacket | Flame-retardant, oil- and sunlight-resistant chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), rated 90°C |
| Options | Other sizes, colours and custom designs on request; EPR available on request |
Applications
Type G Mining Cable is supplied for portable power duties on three- and four-wire AC systems requiring grounding. The supplied applications include mining equipment, cranes, conveyors, mobile equipment, electromagnets and oil-drilling equipment. Type G Cable is also described for temporary power supply duty in industrial and mining use.
Selection checks
- Confirm whether a three- or four-conductor Type G Cable configuration is required, together with the grounding arrangement.
- Check the conductor size against load, voltage drop, route, protective device and installation conditions.
- Review exposure to impact, abrasion, heat, acids, oil, moisture and weather with the actual site engineering requirements.
- Specify the required length, colour code, jacket option, approvals and documentation with the enquiry.
The supplied Type G Cable construction is not interchangeable with Type G-GC or Type GC cable arrangements: confirm the required ground and ground-check functions before final selection.
