SHD-GC
SHD-GC is a NEC / UL (USA) cable designation: SHD = Shielded, heavy duty: each phase core under a flexible copper braid shield (Prysmian: Shielded Round); GC = Ground-check conductor, yellow polypropylene insulated, for fail-safe ground monitoring; SHD-GC = SHD-GC: shielded round portable mine power cable, three EPR phase cores each under a tinned copper / textile braid shield, two grounding conductors and a yellow ground-check conductor, reinforced CPE jacket. 2000 V to 35000 V classes, 90 C (Prysmian); 5 kV, 8 kV, 15 kV (Priority Wire). ICEA S-75-381 / NEMA WC 58; MSHA accepted.
