Portable Mining Cables

Type W2 kV Portable Power Cable

Type W is a rugged 2 kV portable power cable for mobile equipment, temporary power distribution, and severe industrial and mining service. Common constructions use one to five flexible stranded copper conductors, 90°C EPR/EPDM insulation, and a heavy-duty thermoset CPE-type jacket in a normally non-shielded, round or selected flat build; the grounding arrangement is selected by conductor count and system design. Common product lines cover 8 AWG through 500 kcmil. Exact conductor arrangement, dimensions, ampacity, wet rating, bend radius, and UL, CSA, MSHA, or ICEA/NEMA approvals are confirmed against the selected model.

Before you quote

Clear the questions that hold up your quote.

Short answers for engineering and procurement. The reviewed quotation and its document list govern the final supply scope.

Which Type W configurations are available?
Common Type W product lines include round single- and multiconductor and selected flat constructions with one to five conductors. The offered conductor count, size, and geometry are confirmed for each order.
What voltage is Type W rated for?
Type W is a 2,000 V portable power cable family. The selected construction and cable marking are confirmed for each order.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ depends on conductor size, construction, production batch, and reel length. Send the required size and total length; the quotation will state the applicable minimum quantity and packaging basis.
How quickly can the cable be delivered?
Lead time varies with material availability, construction, quantity, document scope, and destination. After the specification is reviewed, the quotation will provide a production window and an indicative shipment schedule.
How are destination-market standards and documents reviewed?
Tell us the destination market, governing standard, and end-user document requirements. They are reviewed against the selected product and available product documents; applicability is confirmed in the quotation.
Can length, sheath colour, printing, or packaging be customized?
These options can be reviewed subject to engineering suitability, regulatory requirements, MOQ, and production capability. Any approved change is recorded in the quoted specification, drawing, or order document.
