In modern underground coal mining, longwall shearers represent one of the most power-intensive and mechanically demanding pieces of equipment. The cable supplying power and control signals to these machines must survive continuous movement, crushing forces, electromagnetic interference, and harsh environmental conditions.

So what exactly is Feichun Type SHD-PCG Three-Conductor Round Portable Power Cable 2 kV, and why is it widely specified for longwall shearer applications—especially in demanding mining regions such as South Africa?

What Is Feichun Type SHD-PCG Cable Designed For?

Feichun Type SHD-PCG is a heavy-duty, 2 kV rated, three-conductor round portable power cable engineered specifically for longwall shearers where:

Three shielded power conductors are required
Three unshielded control conductors are integrated
A central grounding conductor ensures personnel and equipment safety
High resistance to mechanical stress and electrical noise is critical

This integrated design eliminates the need for separate power and control cables, improving system reliability and installation efficiency in underground mines.

Why Do Longwall Shearers Require SHD-PCG-Type Cables?

Longwall shearers impose extreme demands on cables due to:

Continuous horizontal movement
Repeated bending and torsion
High starting currents
Strong electromagnetic interference (EMI) from large motors
Confined underground environments with abrasive surfaces

The SHD-PCG design addresses these challenges by combining shielded power cores, robust insulation, and an extra-heavy-duty jacket in a single, round cable profile.

What Standards Does Feichun SHD-PCG Cable Comply With?

Compliance with internationally recognized standards ensures electrical safety, durability, and acceptance by mine operators.

Feichun SHD-PCG cables are manufactured in accordance with:

ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC 58 – Portable power cable requirements
ASTM B172 – Tinned copper conductors
ASTM B33 – Copper stranding standards
CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 96 – Mining and portable power cable safety

How Does SHD-PCG Compare with Other Mining Cables?

SHD-PCG vs SHD-GC vs Standard SHD

Feature	SHD-PCG	SHD-GC	Standard SHD
Shielded power conductors	Yes	No	No
Integrated control cores	Yes	Yes	No
EMI protection	Excellent	Limited	Minimal
Longwall suitability	Excellent	Moderate	Poor
System integration	High	Medium	Low

SHD-PCG is clearly optimized for longwall shearers, where control integration and EMI suppression are critical.

What Are the Best Installation Practices for SHD-PCG Cables?

Maintain minimum bending radius during installation
Avoid sharp edges and unsupported spans
Ensure proper grounding continuity checks
Do not exceed rated ampacity
Inspect jacket condition regularly in high-wear zones

Correct installation significantly extends service life and reduces downtime.
