Type 260 Armoured Mining Cable with Pilot Core
The Type 260 Armoured Mining Cable with Pilot Core is a medium-voltage, rubber-insulated cable designed for heavy-duty mining applications requiring high mechanical strength and electrical reliability.
It features flexible stranded tinned copper conductors, EPR insulation, and tinned copper braiding for excellent screening. The pliable galvanised steel wire armour (SWA) provides superior mechanical protection, making it suitable for harsh mining environments. The interstitial pilot core allows enhanced control and monitoring functions. With a PCP heavy-duty sheath, it offers flame retardancy, oil resistance, and durability. Compliant with AS/NZS 1802 and related standards, it is ideal for feeder cables, mining machinery power supply, and transportable substations. The Type 245 is ideal for high-power trailing in coal and metalliferous mines, powering longwall shearers, continuous miners, face conveyors, and critical equipment with enhanced safety via pilot core and armour.
