Type SHD-GC Cable

Application

ICEA S-75-381 / MSHA SHD-GC trailing cable for AC-powered shovels, draglines, drills, continuous miners, and longwall systems in open-pit/underground mines. Flat or round, 3 power conductors with 40% copper braid shield, integral grounding conductors, and ground-check conductor. EPR insulation (90°C), reinforced flame-retardant CPE/polyurethane jacket. Shield controls induced voltage, ground-check provides real-time fail-safe shutdown upon damage. Rated 5kV–25kV / 2000V, operating temp -40°C to +90°C. Crush/abrasion/ozone/UV resistant. MSHA P-number listed.

Core Strengths

Unshielded trailing cables on high-power shovels induce dangerous touch/shock voltages. Our SHD-GC shield (40% copper braid) controls induced voltages, while ground-check ensures fail-safe shutdown if damaged. EPR insulation, reinforced CPE/PUR jacket. Rated 5kV–25kV, -40°C to +90°C. MSHA P-number listed. 

Standard

ICEA S-75-381.

Construction

Phase, Grounding Conductors,Ground check conductors: Soft or annealed tinned coated copper conductor, rope lay flexible stranding per ASTM B172

Conductor Shield: A helically applied semiconducting tape.
Insulation: High quality, heat, moisture, ozone and thermosetting ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) meeting ICEA.
Insulation Shield: An overlapped semiconducting tape shall be applied over the insulation.
Metallic Component: A composite fiber-copper braid shield, tinned coated copper wires, Coverage minimum 60 ,with colored fibers for phase identification (black, white, red).
Assembly: Phase, ground check and grounding conductors cabled together with hygroscopic fillers and a binder tape.
Ground Check: Polypropylene insulation yellow colored for identification.
Jacket(CPE): Heavy duty or extra heavy duty chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) compound, applied in one layer over a fibrous reinforcement layer,Black or other colours can be provided.
Jacket(TPU):  Extra heavy duty, high torsion resistant, integral-filled, thermoplastic Polyurethane jacket, Black or other colours can be provided.
