Type G-GC 3/C #2 AWG cable is a three-conductor power cable with an integrated pilot ground-check conductor designed specifically for underground mine power distribution and earth fault monitoring applications. The three main conductors each measure 33.3 mm² (2 AWG) cross-sectional area and carry three-phase power distribution. The pilot ground-check conductor measures 4 mm² (12 AWG equivalent) and serves as an independent monitoring channel for earth fault detection. The overall cable outer diameter (OD) is typically 18.5 mm to 20.0 mm (0.73 to 0.79 inches) depending on the specific insulation system. The overall weight is approximately 850 kg/km (570 lbs/1000ft). The cable outer sheath is typically XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) rated for 600 volts continuous service with a safety protocol compliant with DIN VDE 0482-335-2 and IEEE 1202 standards for mine cables. The pilot conductor resistance is approximately 5.2 ohms per kilometer, which establishes the baseline sensitivity for ground fault detection circuits. The capacitance between main conductors and the pilot conductor is typically 120–140 pF/m, a critical parameter that determines the transient response characteristics of the earth fault detection relay.

Underground room-and-pillar mining operations present unique challenges for trailing cables. The Komatsu Joy 12HM series continuous miners must navigate through tight corners and confined spaces while maintaining continuous power supply. The trailing cable—connecting the miner to the power distribution system—must bend around right-angle turns, withstand crushing forces from equipment run-over, and maintain electrical integrity through thousands of flexing cycles without failure. 地下房柱式采矿作业对拖缆提出了独特的挑战。小松Joy 12HM系列连续采煤机必须在保持连续供电的同时穿越紧凑的转角和狭窄空间。连接采煤机与配电系统的拖缆必须能够绑过直角弯道，承受设备碾压的压力，并在数千次弯曲循环中保持电气完整性而不发生故障。
