Model comparison, operating conditions and RFQ checklist.
An ICEA mining cable is a portable power or feeder cable built to the North American type system used in mines: Type W, Type G-GC, Type SHD-GC and Type MP-GC, with constructions described in Insulated Cable Engineers Association (ICEA) standards. These cables use AWG and kcmil conductor sizes and supply shuttle cars, continuous miners, drills, shovels, pumps and mine load centers at rated voltages from 2000 V up to 25 kV.
The type letters describe grounding and shielding, so start from the protection scheme.
DIN VDE (European) constructions are covered in the parent Mining Trailing Cable hub, and the mining cable designation cross-reference maps type letters between systems.

The type letters describe grounding and shielding. Type W is for applications where bare grounding conductors are not required or desired. Type G-GC adds two grounding conductors and one ground-check conductor for circuits not exceeding 2000 V. Type SHD-GC adds a copper braid shield over each power conductor and is offered at 2, 5, 8, 15 and 25 kV. Start from the protection scheme, then set voltage and size.
No. Type MP-GC is a shielded power feeder cable for connections between units of a mine distribution system at 5, 8 or 15 kV, described for non-flexing installation in duct, conduit, tray or direct burial. It has three tape-shielded conductors, two bare grounds and one insulated ground check. The EPR/CPE version suits wet, oily routes and the XLPE/PVC version dry or moderately wet ones.
The product pages reference ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC-58 and ICEA S-68-516 / NEMA WC-8 for Type G-GC, ICEA S-75-381 for Type SHD-GC grounding-conductor sizing, ICEA S-66-524 for Type MP-GC, ASTM B-172 for Type W conductors, ICEA S-95-658 and NEMA WC-70 for the 90 °C DLO cable, and AAR RP-585 / S-501 for the XLPO locomotive wire. Ask for current test and certification documents for the exact model with your RFQ.
The Type W page states a minimum bending radius of 6 times the cable outer diameter; confirm the value for other types. Reeled cable must be derated, and the Type G-GC page lists correction factors by layer count. Stated ranges are -40 °C to +90 °C for Type W, -20 °C to +90 °C for Type MP-GC and -18 °C to +60 °C for P1209.
No. DLO is a single-conductor cable for motor, generator and battery leads: the 90 °C version has EPR insulation and a CPE jacket at 2000 V, and the 125 °C version has flame-retardant XLPO insulation at 600 V or 2000 V for diesel-electric locomotives. P1209 is a shielded four-conductor trunk cable for underground monitoring and control systems, with a 30 V DC maximum voltage and 24 V DC power.
