Type SHD-GC, ROUND PORTABLE CABLES WITH GROUNDING CONDUCTORS

GROUND-CHECK CONDUCTOR AND TPU JACKET

  1. Flexible Bare Copper Conductors – Made from soft, high-quality copper for excellent conductivity and flexibility.

  2. Conductor Shielding – A protective layer is applied over the copper to enhance electrical performance and safety.

  3. EPR Insulation (Natural Color) – Ethylene-Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation provides durability, heat resistance, and electrical insulation.

  4. Insulation Shielding – Extra shielding over the insulation to improve protection against electrical interference.

  5. Shielded Phase Conductors – Each phase conductor is wrapped with a combination of tinned copper and a colored textile braid for added shielding and identification.

  6. Flexible Copper Conductor – Another layer of soft copper for better flexibility and strength.

  7. Mylar Tape – A thin protective tape layer for insulation stability.

  1. Yellow XLP Ground Check Conductor – A safety grounding conductor insulated with tough cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) for extra durability.

  2. Stranded Tinned Copper – Uninsulated copper strands that are tinned for better corrosion resistance.

  3. Rubber-Faced Binder Tape – A binding tape that helps keep the cable structure intact.
