FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can Type W be substituted for a ground-check cable?

Do not assume interchangeability. Where a ground-check circuit is required, identify its conductors and monitoring requirements explicitly and review the G / G-GC or other specified construction.

Does this page establish MSHA acceptance?

No. Where site rules require MSHA acceptance, request the relevant evidence for the exact manufacturer and cable designation. Include that requirement with the equipment specification.

What should accompany an enquiry?

Send the product requirements listed above with your specification or BOQ. Mark any items still to be decided so that construction, documentation and delivery requirements can be reviewed before quotation.
