The total circuit length includes both welding and ground leads (based on 4-volt drop) 60% duty cycle.
These values for current-carrying capacity are based on a copper temperature of 60°C (140°F), an ambient temperature
of 40°C (104°F) and yield load factors from approximately 32% for the No. 2 AWG cable to approximately 23% for
the No. 3/0 AWG cable, and higher for the smaller sizes. The sizes of cables generally used range from No. 2 AWG to
No. 3/0 AWG. In actual service, the load factor may be much higher than indicated without overheating the cable, as the
ambient temperature will generally be substantially lower than 40°C.

Why and How Mining Cables Fail
Cable breakdowns are neither mysterious nor unaccountable and almost without exception can
be traced to one or more of the following causes:
1. Excessive tension
2. Mechanical damage
3. Current overload
4. Improper splicing and termination techniques
Excessive Tension
Many cable failures are the direct result of excessive tension. A cable that has been “stretched”
no longer has the balanced construction that is so vital to long life. Tension on the conductors
subjects the individual wires in the strand to compression and shear. These thin wires are
damaged and will break more easily when bent or flexed.
Tension also elongates the conductor insulation. The elongated insulation is then vulnerable
to compression cutting. It will rupture more easily when it is crushed against the stranded
conductor during runovers. The insulation will also have a tendency to creep over the conductor
at a splice.
Jackets under tension lose a considerable part of their resistance to mechanical damage. A
jacket under tension is much more likely to be cut or torn. Stretching also causes the copper
conductors to take a permanent set. Of course, the insulation and jacket are stretched as well,
but they will return to their original length when the tension is removed. This difference in the
properties of rubber and copper when subjected to tension will cause the conductors to be wavy
and fail prematurely.
To reduce tension on the cable:
1. Avoid backspooling, if possible.
2. If backspooling is unavoidable, locate the tie point as far back from the haulageway
as possible.
3. Tram slowly when passing the tie point.
4. Set hydraulic tension on the cable reel so that approximately 12-15 feet of cable is
picked up off the mine bottom when starting to tram.
Mechanical Damage
This is one of the most prevalent sources of trailing cable failures. Factors initiating mechanical
damage include cutting, compression (crushing), punctures and abrasion. In extreme cases of
mechanical damage, the failure is instant, and the cause can be assigned on the spot. Many
times, however, the cable components are merely “injured” and become latent failures. At that
point, it may be more difficult to pinpoint the exact cause and to take remedial action.
40
Why and How Mining Cables Fail
Current Overload
The temperatures of the conductors, insulation and jacket are, of course, elevated when cables
are subjected to an electrical load. The resistance of the copper is increased, voltage drop in the
cable is increased, and therefore, a reduced voltage is supplied to the machine. As a result, the
machine calls for more current, which adds further to cable heating. A trailing cable’s insulation
and jacket materials exhibit maximum resistance to physical abuse at the rated conductor
temperature of 90°C or less. The ability of these components to withstand damage decreases
as the temperature increases. Conditions which normally cause few cable failures suddenly
become a problem. At elevated temperatures, the jacket has lost much of its resistance to
cutting, crushing, tearing and abrasion. The section of the cable that remains on the reel is most
likely to be damaged by electrical overload. Layering on the reel hinders ventilation and heat
dissipation. Continued exposure to elevated temperatures will age the jacket, making it hard and
brittle and causing crazing or cracking upon subsequent reeling.
Improper Splicing and Termination Techniques
Over the years, much work has been done to improve both splicing materials and techniques.
The following items have been found to be primarily responsible for unsatisfactory splice service:
1. Ending up with a grounding or ground-check conductor which is shorter than the power
conductors
2. Semi-conducting residue on the insulation surface was not removed
3. Gaps, voids or soft spots in insulating tape build-up
4. Improper termination of shielding system, leaving inward-pointing projections
5. Damage to factory insulation by improper removal of shielding systems
6. Excessive slack in one or more individual conductors
7. Splice has low tensile strength and is easily pulled in two
8. Individual wires are damaged during application of connector
9. Splice is too bulky — will not pass through cable guides or over sheaves
10. Improper application of the outer covering, allowing water to enter the cable interior
By choosing a cable with an adequate current rating, avoiding excessive tension and
mechanical damage, and using proper splicing techniques, it is not unreasonable to reduce
cable-related downtime by 50 percent or more. This will, of course, translate into increased
production and profits.
