Extra-Heavy-Duty Portable Power
Type W cable is used for portable power routes requiring high flexibility and mechanical durability.
Type W Portable Mining Cable
Type W Portable Mining Cable for mining, portable power and heavy-duty industrial routes.
Type W Portable Mining Cable is selected for extra-heavy-duty portable power routes in mining and industrial environments requiring high flexibility and abrasion resistance.
Product Overview
Type W Portable Mining Cable should be selected according to the actual project route, not by product name alone. Before quotation, review equipment duty, voltage class, grounding or ground-check requirement, shielding, flexibility and abrasion exposure. Datasheet wording, compliance documents and final supply notes should stay aligned with the selected standard and installation conditions.
Applications
- surface and underground mining power routes
- portable mining equipment and trailing cable use
- mine feeder and heavy-duty industrial power supply
- abrasion, movement and mechanical-stress cable environments
Construction
Flexible copper conductor construction with rubber insulation, ground conductor or ground-check conductor where required, shielding for SHD routes and heavy-duty rubber sheath. Voltage class, conductor size, shield/ground design and mine standard should be confirmed before supply.
Marking on Cable
FARWALK CABLE – Type W Portable Mining Cable – [standard] – [voltage] – [core x size] – [year] – [meter mark]
Cable Identification
- Phase, ground and ground-check conductors should be clearly identified according to mining cable type.
- Sheath marking should show voltage class, cable type and conductor size when required.
Standards
- ICEA S-75-381
- NEMA WC 58
- UL 1650
- CSA C22.2 No.96 where specified
Main Features
Mining and Industrial Use
Suitable for mobile equipment, trailing power and temporary supply where abrasion and handling are severe.
Voltage and Conductor Review
For Type W Portable Mining Cable, conductor size, grounding conductor and voltage class should follow UL, CSA or project requirements.
Product Selection Guide
Mining Cable Type
Separate Type W, G-GC, MP-GC, SHD, SHD-GC, SHD-PCG and SHD-CGC before selecting construction.
Voltage Class
Separate Type W, G-GC, MP-GC, SHD, SHD-GC, SHD-PCG and SHD-CGC before selecting construction.
Grounding / Monitoring
Select grounding, ground-check, pilot or shielded construction according to mine safety requirements.
Mechanical Duty
Check dragging, abrasion, bending radius, reeling, temperature and chemical exposure before selecting jacket material.
