SHD-GC cable for moving mining power
Type SHD-GC is a shielded, round, portable power cable for heavy-duty mining equipment and other mobile or stationary equipment that requires grounding and ground-check conductors. It is available in 2kV, 5kV, 8kV, 15kV and 25kV versions, with conductor temperatures up to 90°C.
Use this cable family when the equipment, voltage and safety circuit require a ground-check arrangement as part of the power cable. Typical equipment includes loaders, drills, conveyors, pumps, shovels, dredgers, drilling rigs and underground mine feeders. The final cable is selected by voltage, conductor size, movement path, installation conditions, termination and required documents.
- Suitable for Heavy-duty mining trailing and portable power duties.
- Confirm before ordering Voltage, phase system, conductor size, length and quantity.
- Confirm the construction Insulation compound, jacket compound, ground-check arrangement and braid details.
- Send with the RFQ Existing cable marking, machine model, travel path, bend or drum data and required standard.
- Three flexible bare or tinned copper power conductors.
- Two ground conductors and one yellow-insulated ground-check conductor.
- 90°C EPDM insulation; EPR available upon request.
- Soft-drawn annealed copper braid over each power conductor.
- CPE/TPU outer jacket options and custom sizes upon request.
Need a different mining construction? Compare the Type G-GC mining cable or the MP-GC power feeder cable only after checking the equipment duty and grounding requirements.
For a quotation, send voltage, conductor size, length, equipment, movement path and required documents.
Application & Features
Selection overview
Match the cable to the machine and movement.
SHD-GC is positioned for heavy-duty mining power where the equipment requires a portable shielded cable with grounding and ground-check conductors.
Before substitution: confirm the rated voltage, conductor size, ground-check circuit, minimum bend radius, pulling method, termination space, operating temperature and required standard. Do not infer water, oil, flame, UV or certification performance from the SHD-GC name alone.
- Loaders and drillsMobile mining equipment requiring portable power.
- Conveyors and pumpsPower supply routes where the specified construction fits the movement and environment.
- Shovels and dredgersHeavy equipment applications.
- Underground mine feedersPower feeder duty within the selected rated voltage.
- Drilling rigsMobile or off-track equipment where the selected cable construction is accepted.
- Stationary equipmentOnly where the project specification accepts this portable construction.

Construction
Material and build-up
The base SHD-GC construction uses three power conductors, two ground conductors, one ground-check conductor, copper braid shielding and CPE/TPU jacket options.
- Power conductors: flexible bare or tinned copper conductors for the three-phase circuit.
- Insulation: 90°C EPDM; EPR available upon request.
- Ground conductors: two bunched or rope-lay stranded bare or tin-coated copper conductors.
- Ground-check conductor: one stranded bare or tin-coated copper conductor with yellow insulation.
- Braid shield: soft-drawn annealed copper braid served over each power conductor.
- Outer jacket: CPE or TPU.

Quality Assurance
Testing at every stage in our own workshop and laboratory, from incoming copper to the packed drum.

Raw Material Inspection
Every batch of copper rod, rubber compound and reinforcing material is checked before it reaches the line.
- Copper: conductor resistance, elongation and surface condition on incoming rod and drawn wire
- EPR, CPE, PUR and silicone compounds: hardness, tensile strength, elongation and ageing samples from each mix
- Suppliers and batch numbers are recorded so every drum can be traced back to its materials

Manufacturing Process Control
Stranding, insulation extrusion, core assembly and sheathing run under recorded process parameters.
- Class 5/6 stranding with lay length and tension monitored for trailing and reeling flexibility
- Continuous-vulcanisation extrusion with wall thickness and spark tests logged on every length
- Operators sign off each stage before the cable moves to the next machine

Electrical Testing
Finished lengths go through the routine tests required by the referenced VDE, ICEA, IEC or NEK standard.
- Conductor resistance and insulation resistance on every length
- Voltage withstand (3.5 kV and higher) and partial-discharge measurement in the shielded HV laboratory
- Screen and pilot-core continuity checks for mining and reeling constructions

Mechanical and Ageing Tests
Samples from production are tested for the duty a mining, crane or submersible cable will actually see.
- Tensile strength and elongation of insulation and sheath before and after ageing
- Hot-set, ozone, oil-immersion and low-temperature bending tests
- Constant-temperature water bath for insulation resistance of submersible constructions

Flame Test and Final Inspection
Before packing, the cable is checked against the order and the flame-performance requirement of its standard.
- Single-cable vertical flame test to IEC 60332-1-2 where specified
- Metre marking, printing, drum length and appearance inspection
- Test report and packing list issued with every shipment
