When engineers, procurement managers, or mine operators search for “Type SHD-GC cable” or “ICEA S-75-381 portable power cable”, they are usually trying to answer three core questions:
What does this cable do? Where should it be used? And how does it compare to other heavy-duty mining cables?
The ICEA S-75-381 Type SHD-GC Three-Conductor Round Portable Power Cable with a CPE Jacket (2kV) is specifically designed for harsh mining and industrial environments where grounding conductors, a ground-check conductor, and metallic shielding are mandatory.
What Does “Type SHD-GC” Mean Under ICEA S-75-381?
The designation SHD-GC is not marketing terminology—it is a functional classification defined by ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC 58, widely referenced across North America, Africa, and international mining projects.
S – Shielded
H – Heavy-duty construction
D – Portable power cable
GC – Includes both grounding conductors and a ground-check conductor
In practice, this means SHD-GC cables are intended for mobile mining equipment that requires continuous electrical safety monitoring and high mechanical durability.
Where Is ICEA S-75-381 Type SHD-GC Commonly Used?
Which Mining Equipment Requires SHD-GC Cables?
SHD-GC cables are designed for equipment such as:
Longwall shearers
Continuous miners
Loaders and shuttle cars
Drilling rigs
Conveyors and pumps
Other mobile or semi-mobile mining machinery
These applications demand robust grounding, fault monitoring, and mechanical resilience.
How Does SHD-GC Compare with Other Portable Mining Cables?
Feature | Type SHD-GC | Type SHD | Type G-GC |
|---|---|---|---|
Metallic Shield | Yes | Yes | No |
Ground-Check Conductor | Yes | No | Yes |
Mechanical Duty | Extra Heavy | Heavy | Medium |
Typical Use | Continuous miners, shearers | Fixed heavy equipment | Light mobile equipment |
SHD-GC offers the highest level of electrical protection among these options.
What Are the Best Installation Practices for SHD-GC Cables?
Respect the minimum bending radius (6×OD)
Avoid sharp edges and uncontrolled dragging
Secure cables properly on mobile equipment
Inspect jackets regularly for abrasion
Verify ground-check continuity before energizing
Correct installation significantly extends service life and safety.
