3/0-4 Type G Portable Power and Mining Cable

3/0-4 Type G portable Power and mining cable is another good pick for mining applications among the group of Type G Portable Power and Mining cables. Just like the other Type G cables, this cable is crafted with uttermost sturdiness and robustness to withstand the extreme harsh and punishing mining environments.

3/0-4 Type G portable Power and mining Cable is of 3/0 AWG gauge size with four insulated conductors. The conductors are made of stranded bare copper. Copper, being one of the best wires in electrical conductivity is used as a conductor for the heavy duty of this 3/0-4 Type G portable Power and mining Cable which has diversified applications. The conductors are insulated with a color-coded oil, water, ozone and chemical resistant EPDM. The four conductors, grounding wire and all the underlying components are then held together by a CPE jacket which is also sturdy and robust to withstand the harsh conditions of a mining environment.

Construction

3/0-4 Type G portable Power and mining Cable has 4 conductors of 3 AWG gauge size each. The conductors are made as per 418/24 stranding of copper conductors in accordance with ASTM B 174. The EPD insulators have a 0.080 Nom OD Inches wall. The net weight per 1000 feet is 3841Lbs.,219 amps according to NEC and 243 according to CEC.

Conductors

3/0-4 Type G portable Power and mining Cable is fitted with four fully annealed and stranded bare copper conductors, and a drain wire. The stranding is as per ASTM B 174. Copper is the best metal in electrical conductivity and is therefore best for power transmission in this hardy 3/0-4 Type G portable Power and mining Cable. Copper wire is annealed through a thorough heat treatment that increases its tensile strength and ductility. The high tensile strength of copper prevents breaking, stretching and creep when frequent tension is applied to it.

The copper wire is stranded by wounding the wires together into a bunch of a well-structured rope lay. Stranding immensely increases the surface area for flow of current. An increase in the surface area for conduction means an increase in the surface for electrical conduction, lower resistance to flow of current and hence a faster transmission of electricity. A stranded wire has very minimal power losses and its internal resistance to the flow of currents reduces greatly. The overall flexibility of the cable is also enhanced by this.

The optimal performance of this 3/0-4 Type G portable Power and mining Cable is at a temperature range of between -40°C and 90°C . This it an ideal mining cable in both dry and wet areas. Copper wire also has excellent properties in thermal conductivity and therefore the copper drain wire aids in dissipating heat and charges from the system to the ground.

Insulation

Insulation of a conductor is very important for cable and user safety. Our 3/0-4 Type G portable Power and mining Cable has an Ethylene Propylene (EPDM) insulation. The good elasticity of EPDM comes in handy to counter the punishing and hostile mining environment. The EPDM insulation ensures the conductor lasts you a lifetime without the frequent need for cable replacement. Its tough plastic nature enables it to resist external factors like oil, water, UV light, chemicals and abrasion that the cable is exposed to.

Jacket

To hold the underlying insulated conductors and drain wire together, an overall external jacket is needed. 3/0-4 Type G portable Power and mining Cable is fitted with a CPE jacket. The CPE jacket comes in handy in protecting the cable from the harsh environment. CPE is also a fire retardant and melts into a hard incombustible material in case of a fire breakout and thus preventing spread of the fire. The sturdy and robust jacket ensures mechanical protection of the insulated conductors.
