Applications
These heavy duty cables are designed for applications such as longwall shearers, continuous miners, loaders, drills, conveyors, pumps, and other mobile equipment requiring grounding conductors, where a ground check conductor, and metallic shielding are required.
Standards
ICEA S-75-381/NEMA WC 58
ASTM B 172
