Type W
More information Application
Type W portable power cables are manufactured with rope-lay stranded, bunched,8 AWG through 500 kcmil fully annealed stranded bare copper conductors per ASTM B-172. The conductors are insulated with a Premium-grade, color-coded 90ºC ozone, oil (60°C) and water resistant (90°C) synthetic rubber(EPDM) per UL-44 and assembled round with suitable fillers as needed. A polyester or paper tape separates the copper conductors from the EP rubber insulation. The cable is covered with a black CPE rubberjacket which may be applied in two layers. Two-layer jackets are reinforced with a braid of synthetic material placed between the layers. 

 
Applications

Type W Portable Power Cable is suitable for use in: 
• Industrial and light- to medium-duty mining applications
• Heavy-duty service as power supply cable 
• AC systems (grounded and ungrounded)
• Mobile and portable electrical equipment such as conveyors, drills and pumps
• Motor and battery leads
• 2-conductor cables - use on DC or AC single-phase systems where grounding is not required
• 3-conductor cables - use on AC systems where no grounding is required, or on DC systems with one conductor
for grounding
• 4-conductor cables - use on two- or three- phase AC systems with one conductor used for grounding
• 5-conductor cables - use in applications where separating the system neutral from the frame ground is required
