Polycab Mining Cable – EPR Power and Pilot Cores, Composite Screen, Heavy-Duty Elastomeric, IS 14494

The Polycab Mining Cable is an elastomeric flexible cable for mining machines, with tinned copper EPR insulated power and pilot cores, a tinned copper earth conductor, composite tinned-copper-and-nylon screens and a heavy-duty elastomeric sheath. Polycab's catalogue lists it as conforming to IS 14494. It is supplied at a price on request: cable prices depend on the construction, the quantity and the raw-material prices on the day.

Is this the right one for you?

Check these four things before you order:

• The cable feeds mining machines - shovels, drills, draglines, continuous miners, pumps or conveyors.
• You know the voltage grade (1.1, 3.3, 6.6 or 11 kV) and the type code in your specification.
• You know the core sizes, including the pilot and earth conductors.
• You know whether the mine needs DGMS-approved cable.

Why choose the Polycab Mining Cable

• EPR insulated tinned copper power and pilot cores
• Composite tinned-copper-and-nylon screen on the power and pilot cores
• Pilot core for earth-continuity monitoring
• Heavy-duty elastomeric sheath that stands up to trailing, dragging and abrasion
• Made to IS 14494:2019, the Indian standard for flexible cables for use in mines

How to choose and specify it

Type and grade. IS 14494:2019 covers flexible cables for mines in 1.1 kV, 3.3 kV, 3.8/6.6 kV and 6.35/11 kV grades. Mine specifications name the type (for example an FT or PLC type) and the sizes; order by that type.

Pilot core. The pilot core lets an earth-continuity (pilot) relay check the earth path to the machine, tripping the supply if it is lost - a key safety function on trailing cables.

Approvals and handling. Tell us if your mine needs DGMS-approved cable, and we confirm the DGMS approval status for the type. Handle trailing cables with care: avoid sharp bends, crushing under tracks and dragging over sharp rock.

Where it is used

• Opencast coal and iron-ore mines - shovels, drills and draglines
• Underground mines - continuous miners, shearers and pumps
• Quarries and crushers
• Mine dewatering pumps
• Mobile substations and switch units in mines

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the Polycab Mining Cable?

The Polycab Mining Cable is supplied at a price on request, because cable prices depend on the construction, the quantity and the raw-material prices on the day. Call +91 9340081159 for a quotation.

Which standard does it follow?

IS 14494:2019, the Indian standard for elastomer insulated flexible cables for use in mines, with 1.1 kV, 3.3 kV, 3.8/6.6 kV and 6.35/11 kV grades.

What is the pilot core for?

It carries the signal of an earth-continuity (pilot) monitoring relay, which trips the supply if the earth connection to the machine is lost.

Which type do I need?

Your mine specification names the type - FT, PLC, PA and the other codes listed in the catalogue - and the sizes. Send it to us and we confirm availability.

Where can I buy the Polycab Mining Cable in Chhattisgarh?

From Jai Enterprises, Bhilai and Raipur, which supplies Polycab cables to every district of Chhattisgarh and across India. Call +91 9340081159 for the price, stock and lead time.
