Type G-GC is a heavy-duty, flexible portable power cable with grounding and ground-check conductors, designed for power supply in mining and industrial environments.
The name stands for:
G - Grounded (with symmetrical grounding conductors)
GC - Ground Check (with one smaller conductor for ground monitoring)
It is primarily used in lower-voltage applications (up to 2kV), especially where mobility, mechanical toughness, and electrical safety are key.
Designed for use in underground mines, open-pit mining, tunneling, and industrial sites where heavy equipment is used.
Typical applications include:
Mobile mining equipment (drills, loaders, conveyors, pumps)
Portable power systems
Temporary power distribution
Generator sets and industrial motor feeds
Portable substations and trailers
Supplies 3-phase power with integrated grounding and ground-fault monitoring
Withstands abrasion, impact, oil, moisture, and UV exposure
Flexible construction supports dragging and coiling on reels
ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC-58 - For portable and power cables

UL 1650 - Portable power cables (optional)
CSA C22.2 No. 96 - For Canadian mining applications
ASTM B3/B8 - For copper conductor specs
RoHS - Environmentally compliant (optional)
