When mining operations demand high-voltage, high-ampacity, and extreme mechanical durability, ordinary portable cables simply do not survive. This is where the ICEA S-75-381 Type SHD-CGC Three-Conductor Round Portable Power Cable (5kV) becomes essential.
Designed for longwall shearers, continuous miners, loaders, drills, conveyors, and pumps, the SHD-CGC cable combines robust mechanical strength, advanced electrical protection, grounding reliability, and metallic shielding, making it a benchmark solution for underground and surface mining worldwide.
What Does “Type SHD-CGC” Mean in a Mining Power Cable?
SHD-CGC is not just a model name—it describes the cable’s duty level, safety features, and application scope:
SHD (Super Heavy Duty): Designed for severe mechanical abuse, crushing, dragging, and reeling
C (Ground Check): Includes a dedicated ground-check conductor for continuous monitoring
GC (Grounded & Shielded Construction): Metallic shielding and grounding conductors for enhanced electrical safety
Together, these features make SHD-CGC cables suitable for 5kV portable power supply in the harshest mining environments.
Which Standards Does the Type SHD-CGC Cable Comply With?
Compliance is critical for mining approvals:
ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC 58
ASTM B172 & ASTM B33 (tinned copper conductors)
CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 96
These standards ensure electrical performance, mechanical durability, and safety consistency across global mining projects.
