Mining Cable
Type G-GC Three-Conductor Portable Power Cable 2kV
Applications
Type G-GC Three-Conductor Portable Power Cable 2kV are suitable for use with mobile mining equipment
such as continuous miners, drills, cutters, loading machines, AC shuttle cars and pumps. Type G-GC is for
applications where grounding conductors and a ground check conductor are required.
Standards
ICEA S-75-381/NEMA WC 58
ASTM B 172
ASTM B 33
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.96
