...

Construction:

  1. Conductor:Class B compact stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B496
  2. Conductor Shield:Semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
  3. Insulation:Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) 100% and 133% Insulation Level
  4. Insulation Shield:Strippable semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
  5. Copper Tape Shield:Helically wrapped 5 mil copper tape with 25% overlap
  6. Grounding Conductors:Two Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
  7. Ground Check:Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8 with yellow high strength, polypropylene insulation
  8. Filler:Rubber Fillers as needed
  9. Reinforcement:Tape and Reinforcing twine applied over the core for improved mechanical integrity and ease of stripping
  10. Jacket:Black, mold cured, single layer, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE). Alternate jacket colors available
  11. Reflective Stripe:Highly visible reflective stripe embedded into the outer jacket to increase safety and help prevent cable runover (optional, contact your sales representative for part number)

Applications and Features:

RHINOPOWERTM Type MP-GC mine power feeder cable is a heavy-duty power cable for use in stationary horizontal HV mine power distribution circuits, for permanent or semi-portable applications with power transmission in deep mines, surface mines, open pits, tunnels, in conduit or duct (not to exceed max rated voltage), and suitable for direct burial in wet or dry locations. For vertical drop requirements consult with factory application specialist.
