Allowable Ampacity for 1 AWG 3C Tinned Copper Shielded EPR CPE/CR 5KV Fleximining Medium Type SHD GC Cable: 100 Amps

About:

The "1 AWG 3C Tinned Copper Shielded EPR CPE/CR 5KV Fleximining Medium Type SHD GC Cable" is a specific type of electrical cable designed for demanding applications.

Also Known As:

This cable is typically identified by its specifications: 1 AWG (American Wire Gauge), 3-core, tinned copper shielding, EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulation, CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene) or CR (Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene) jacket, 5KV (5 kilovolt) rating, and classified as a Fleximining, Medium Type SHD GC (Super Heavy Duty Ground Check) cable.

Application:

• These cables are designed for use on AC off track equipment, long wall miners loaders, drills, shovels, conveyors, pumps and mobile equipment requiring grounding conductors and a ground check conductor and metallic shielding overall.
• Suitable for other industrial and mining applications such as cable reelers, festoons, gantry cranes, stackler/reclaimers.

Standards:

It likely adheres to stringent industry standards for safety and performance, especially those relevant to mining applications. These may include MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) standards in the U.S., as well as IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) or IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standards for electrical properties and safety.
