SHD-CGC

SHD-CGC is a NEC / UL (USA) cable designation: SHD = Shielded, heavy duty: each phase core under a flexible copper braid shield (Prysmian: Shielded Round); CGC = Extensible centre ground-check conductor, stranded to stretch without carrying tensile load; SHD-CGC = SHD-CGC: SHD-GC with an extensible (centre) ground-check conductor and three grounding conductors, 2000 to 5000 V. 2000 V and 5000 V, 90 C (Prysmian). ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC 58; MSHA P-7K-102045-2.

What is SHD-CGC cable?

SHD-CGC: SHD-GC with an extensible (centre) ground-check conductor and three grounding conductors, 2000 to 5000 V. Rating: 2000 V and 5000 V, 90 C (Prysmian). Standard: ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC 58; MSHA P-7K-102045-2.

Prysmian NA mining catalogue p.10 and p.12: 'Type SHD-CGC Shielded Round w/Extensible Ground-Check': ground-check conductor 'specially stranded to provide extensibility without sustaining tensile load', yellow polypropylene, in the centre interstice; three grounding conductors; jacket marking '3/C TYPE SHD-CGC 2000 VOLTS EXTENSIBLE GROUND-CHECK'. Only Prysmian was read for SHD-CGC.
