Engineer’s summary: 2-NORM-CY adds an EMC braid to the 2-NORM 1 000 V concept: a screened control cable that may share trays and raceways with 1 000 V power cables in North America, runs at 90 °C and passes bunched-cable fire tests. Only the black +UV type may be installed outdoors; neither type is for burial, drag chains or flexing below −5 °C.

1. Reading the designation

2-NORM = two standards systems (UL/CSA and VDE); CY = copper braid under a PVC sheath. 1.000 V = UL/CSA voltage rating. +UV = black UV-resistant sheath. ‘G’ = with GNYE; ‘X’ = without.

EMC and termination

1. Bond the braid 360° with EMC glands at both ends; avoid pigtails. 2. Use UL-listed EMC glands for North American panels. 3. Keep the braid continuous up to the gland. 4. Segregate screened control cables from unscreened power cables where possible.

5. Full dimension and weight tables

All 48 constructions are listed for both colours, grouped by cross-section with AWG equivalents. Grey and black versions share dimensions and weights. Bending radii are calculated from the nominal outer diameter (6 × d fixed, 20 × d moved).

9. Certification and traceability

This screened cable carries cURus recognition (90 °C / 1 000 V) and a VDE production expertise (VDE-Reg.), meets IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C, UL VW-1, CSA FT1, CEI 20-22 II and NBN C30-004 F2, and is RoHS-conform, CE-conform to 2014/35/EU and LABS-/silicone-free during production. FeiChun Cable holds a complete export certification portfolio — including CE, UKCA, VDE, EAC, ATEX and IECEx — and every certificate supplied is checked against the exact type, voltage, factory and standard of the order.

Routine tests

Conductor resistance, 6 kV voltage test, braid continuity, core numbering, dimensions and marking.

Type tests

IEC 60332-3-24 Cat. C, VW-1, FT1, TM54 oil resistance, UV resistance of the black sheath.

Delivery documents

Approved datasheet, test report per drum, cURus and VDE-Reg. marking, batch number and length marking.

10. FAQ

Why is 1 000 V UL/CSA useful?

North American rules allow cables to share a raceway only if each is rated for the highest voltage present. A 1 000 V rating lets this control cable run alongside 1 000 V power cables, so no second cable route is needed.

Grey or black?

Identical construction and data. Black RAL 9005 is UV-resistant and the only version for outdoor use.

What is VDE-Reg.?

A VDE production expertise (Fertigungsgutachten) confirming that manufacture is monitored by VDE against the stated standard.

Why 90 °C?

Insulation and sheath are 90 °C PVC compounds to UL 1581, so the cable carries a cURus 90 °C rating across the range.

How should the braid be terminated?

360° with EMC glands at both ends; for North American panels use UL-listed EMC glands. Avoid pigtails.

Why no inner sheath?

The braid sits directly over the cores, keeping the cable compact. Where mechanical risk is high, protect the route or choose a type with an inner sheath such as MULTINORM-CY.

Can it be buried?

No — outdoor use (black type only) but not underground.

SHD-GC significa, en la práctica de cables mineros norteamericanos, un cable de potencia apantallado para servicio severo con circuito de comprobación de tierra. Se utiliza como trailing cable de equipos de corriente alterna y como distribución de alta tensión en minas subterráneas cuando el punto de alimentación cambia con frecuencia. Prysmian describe esta familia para palas eléctricas, draglines, canteras, grúas pórtico, recuperación de escoria y distribución subterránea móvil. [1] La letra GC no es decoración comercial: el ground-check forma parte de la filosofía de protección. El circuito permite comprobar continuidad y detectar una condición de tierra abierta mediante el relé adecuado. La pantalla metálica y los conductores de tierra, por su parte, deben proporcionar un camino de falla de baja impedancia. Los tres elementos tienen funciones distintas y no deben conectarse como si fueran intercambiables.
