4/4 Type G Portable Power and Mining Cable
The 4/4 Type G Portable power and mining cable is the ideal cable when it comes to mobile equipment used in the mining set ups. The cable is used extensively in the mining industries as power cable for transmission of power through complex mining machines. Owing to its versatility, the cable is also used in residential, commercial and industrial systems as a utility cable. It is a multi-conductor with four wires making it a highly recommended cable for complex 3-phase wiring systems. It has a sturdy insulation and jacket systems to cope with the extreme demanding conditions at the mine fields.
Construction
Technically, 4/4 Type G Portable Power and Mining Cable is designed with structural and electrical properties which makes it suitable wire for heavy duty mining applications requiring up to 2000v of . Its thick insulation system has a nominal outer diameter of 0.060 inches which is helpful in shock absorption and preventing entry of destructive agents like water, UV light, ozone and corrosive chemicals.
Considering that it is a heavy duty cable, it has to adhere to many international standards regulations. The flame tests carried by National Fire Protection standard NFPA on the cable jacket proves that it is flame retardant. Besides, the conductors have high speed electrical reliance, efficiency and long service life so you won’t worry about frequent cable overhauls and replacements over its lifespan.

Conductors
4/4 Type G Portable Power and Mining Cable comes with four conductors. All the four conductors are made of bare copper conductors. Copper is known fordurability and good electrical conductivity.
The copper bare copper is stranded rope lay; this enhances conduction because stranding increases the surface area for conduction and reduces internal resistance. Stranded conductors are easier to work with due to high flexibility and they are also easier to terminate during installation. Besides the good electrical conductivity, copper is also strong, durable and has high melting point enabling transmissions over extreme temperatures.
This type G conductor can fit in the mining and power generation industries where the weather conditions varybetween -400C and 900C. 4/4 Type G Portable Cable comes in a 4 AWG size and is rated 600-2000V.
Insulation
Considering the extreme environmental conditions of a mine setup, the ideal 4-4 cable requires a tough and durable insulation system. 4/4 Type G Portable and Mining Cable is constructed with a strong ethylene propylene (EPDM)insulation. This insulation is flame retardant, sunlight, water, chemical and ozone resistant. It’s tough and enduring nature offerslifelong protection to the conductors against impact and corrosive agents. The EPDM insulation is environmentally friendly, since it biodegradable rubber.
Jacket
The 4/4 Type G Portable Power and Mining Cable is also made of a heavy-duty jacket for overall protection of the cable. The jacket is designed with a tough chlorinated polyethylene (CPE); a fire retardant black polymer which helps it adapt the extreme outdoor, underground and under water environmental conditions. This polymer jacket is flame retardant, hence melts into a hard incombustible solid that slows down the spread of fire and keeps the underlying conductors safe from the fire.
Mining sites are surrounded with corrosive agents like water.The jacket protects the highly reactive copper conductors from getting into contact with such degenerative agents. The jacket is lightweight to keep the cable light for easy transportations and installation.
Application
4/4 Type G Portable Power and Mining Cable is designed to be used in a wide range of applications. It has excellent strength and adaptability which befits it for used as a power cable for industrial systems and for light-to-medium mining systems. It is used in heavy-duty service as power supply cable: It can provide power to residential buildings, commercial buildingsand industrial setups.
4/4 Type G cable is widely used in portable electrical mining equipment. Type G Portable cable is used in 3 phase AC systems where a ground wire is high recommended. As the name suggest, ‘type G’ to mean with Ground, this cable is ideal for 3 phase connections in mining applications. Other common applications include:
• Oil drilling platforms
• Shipyards and marinas
• Offshore cable
• Fishery cable
• Portable power generation equipment
• Mineral processing facilities
