Flat Type G 2C Mining Cable with Ground, 2 kV

Flat Type G 2C cable for DC mining equipment

Flat Type G 2C cable is a 2 kV trailing cable with two power cores and one shaped grounding conductor. Its flat assembly combines flexible tinned-copper conductors, EPR insulation, synthetic-yarn reinforcement and a black CPE jacket.

This arrangement serves two-conductor DC circuits on off-track mining equipment, including shuttle cars, drills, cutters and loading machines. The grounding conductor lies between the two insulated power cores. The separate power and protective-ground functions are visible in the construction diagram and in the size-specific conductor schedule.

• Circuit selection: match the two power conductors and grounding-conductor size to the equipment drawing.
• Size selection: compare six AWG options together, from 6 AWG to 2/0 AWG.
• Route clearance: use both cable height and width when checking guides, equipment entries and termination space.
• Thermal selection: the ampacity table states continuous-duty values at 90 °C conductor temperature and 40 °C ambient.

This Type G construction has one grounding conductor and no separate ground-check core. Browse the mining cable range for other conductor arrangements, or read the grounding and ground-check cable comparison when selecting the protection-circuit configuration.

Two power conductors and one shaped ground

The flat assembly places one flexible grounding conductor between two EPR-insulated power cores. Synthetic yarn reinforces the assembly beneath the CPE outer jacket.

DC mining-equipment trailing connections

Flat Type G 2C serves two-conductor DC power circuits on off-track mining machinery.

• Shuttle cars: flat trailing leads with a separate protective-ground conductor.
• Drilling and cutting equipment: two-power-conductor DC connections matched to the machine circuit.
• Loading equipment: flexible cable connections between the supply and mobile machine.

Grounding and monitoring

This construction contains one grounding conductor and no separate ground-check core. For a monitored circuit, compare the Type G-GC cable with ground-check conductor.

Flat-cable routing

Use the finished height and width to check guide clearance and cable orientation. Maintain the intended bending plane and avoid twisting the flat assembly. Current-rating selection uses the installation method and the thermal conditions stated in Specifications.

Flat Type G 2C sizes and specifications

Ampacity is based on continuous duty at 90 °C conductor temperature and 40 °C ambient. Apply installation and grouping correction factors for the circuit. Dimensions and mass are nominal; metric figures are rounded conversions of the inch and lb/1000 ft values.

Flat Type G construction standards

The mining-cable design reference is ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC 58 — portable and mining power-feeder cables.

• ASTM B172: rope-lay-stranded copper conductors.
• ASTM B33: tinned soft or annealed copper wire.
