About:

The 1 AWG 3C Stranded BC Unshielded XLPE PVC 5KV 100%/133% Fleximining Medium Type MP-GC Cable is a robust and specialized electrical cable designed for medium-voltage applications.

Also Known As:

This cable is typically referred to as Type MP-GC, with "MP" indicating Medium Power and "GC" denoting Grounding Conductors. It's a medium-voltage cable designed for heavy-duty industrial use, particularly in the mining sector.

Application:

Mine power feeder cable, suitable in high-voltage distribution circuits for permanent or semi-portable installations in mining and industrial applications

Standards:

This type of cable commonly adheres to standards set by MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) for mining applications. It also likely meets relevant ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standards, ensuring its suitability for high-voltage industrial environments.
