Type SHD-GC (8 kV) stands for:
Shielded
Heavy-Duty
with Ground and Check conductor
It is a flexible, shielded, heavy-duty mining cable designed for medium-voltage (8 kV) power supply in harsh environments. These cables are built for robust mechanical protection, electrical shielding, and continuous monitoring of ground integrity through an integrated ground check conductor.
SHD-GC cables (8 kV) are typically used in:
Underground and surface mining operations
Portable or mobile equipment, such as drills, shovels, pumps, crushers, conveyors, and haul trucks
Reeling or trailing applications in moderate to heavy-duty service
Installations requiring:
High mechanical durability
Ground fault detection
Medium voltage power delivery
These cables are suitable for use in wet or dry environments, and can be direct buried, installed in trays, or used in reeling operations.
