Application fit

Is Type G right for your machine?

Type G provides dedicated protective grounding conductors inside the cable assembly without a ground-check monitoring pilot — making Flat 2C Type G the standard choice for DC shuttle cars and drills, and Round 3C/4C Type G ideal for AC portable mining and industrial feeders.

Trailing & towing

Suitable

Engineered for DC underground mining shuttle cars, roof bolters, face drills, cutters, loaders and portable pumps.

Motorised monospiral reel

Suitable

Construction

Layer by layer

In Flat 2C Type G, two EPR-insulated rope-lay tinned copper power conductors lie parallel on either side of the grounding conductor under a yarn-reinforced CPE jacket. In Round 3C/4C Type G, three or four insulated power cores are cabled with three or four symmetrical interstitial grounding conductors.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

How does Type G differ from Type W and Type G-GC portable mining cables?
Type W contains insulated power conductors only (no dedicated bare/green interstitial grounding conductors). Type G adds dedicated equipment grounding conductors inside the assembly (one central ground between the two power cores in Flat 2C, or 3 / 4 interstitial grounds in Round 3C / 4C) but omits a ground-check pilot. Type G-GC replaces one interstitial ground with a yellow-insulated ground-check (GC) pilot conductor for continuous ground-loop monitoring.
Why is Flat 2C Type G preferred on underground DC shuttle cars and drills?
DC shuttle cars, face drills and cutters operate on a two-wire DC power circuit plus equipment frame ground. The flat parallel profile layers neatly across horizontal level-wind reels, resists kinking during repeated pay-out and retrieval, and bends easily across its minor thickness dimension (6 × H).
Does 'Flat 2C' include the grounding conductor in the core count?
No. In ICEA S-75-381 nomenclature, '2C' (or '3C' / '4C') counts only the insulated circuit power conductors. Type G always includes dedicated grounding conductor(s) sized in proportion to the power conductors in addition to the stated power-core count.
Can Type G be ordered with jacket compounds other than black CPE?
Yes. While two-layer yarn-reinforced black chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) is standard for underground mining service, TEBAOFLEX also manufactures Type G with CSP, PCP (polychloroprene), NBR or PVC outer jackets to match specific chemical, low-temperature or high-visibility mine specifications.
