Mining Cable
Type G-GC Three-Conductor Portable Power Cable 2kV

Applications

These Type G-GC Three-Conductor Portable Mining Power cables are suitable for use with mobile mining equipment such as continuous miners, drills, cutters, loading machines, AC shuttle cars and pumps. Type G-GC is for applications where grounding conductors and a ground check conductor are required.
