Application
Portable power cable designed for normal or hard service use where maximum resistance to flex fatigueis required. Used in extremely demanding applications including trailing cable on mobile mining equipment, diesel electric locomotives, lifting magnets, cranes, cutters,loaders, conveyors, drills and pumps where grounded circuits are not required.
Temperature rating and voltage rating
90°C and 2000V
