A 313 MCM DLO Diesel Locomotive Cable can serve a variety of needs. It may be used in applications above or below ground and in both dry and wet areas. This cable is manufactured in accordance with ICEA S-75-381: Portable and Power Feeder Cables for Use in Mines and Similar Locations. The cable has been accepted by MSHA under P-7K-123040. It’s CSA listed as a Type RW90 1kV according to C22.2 No 3895 and as a Type RHH-RHW-2 under UL 44. It has been tested and met the requirements of VW-1 and FT-4 flame tests and is rated as a low smoke cable under LS-UL. The cable is RoHS compliant.

Specifications:

A 313 MCM DLO cable has a size AWG of 313.3. Its nominal insulation thickness is 0.095 inches, and it has a diameter complete cable (O.D.) of 1.04 inches. Its stranding (Al/Stl) is 777/24. This cable has an allowable ampacity of 514 amps at 90 degrees Celsius. A thousand feet of this cable weighs about 1295 pounds.

All DLO cable is manufactured to resist a number of different environmental factors, including acids, oils, and alkalies. It’s also heat and flame resistant and can withstand being pulled over rough, abrasive terrain. Its maximum continuous conductor temperature is 90 degrees Celsius in both wet and dry locations.

Applications:

While primarily used to supply power to a diesel-electric locomotive’s traction motor, a 313 MCM DLO Cable may be used as a portable cable in a number of oil rig applications in both on- and off-shore rigs. It can also be used in a number of mining applications, including as wiring in electric earth-moving equipment.

The cable may be used for a variety of shipyard applications, as an arc welder supply lead, and in the wiring of railroad cars.

DLO is especially suitable to supply power to traction motors of diesel-electric locomotives. It is also recommended as a portable cable for drilling rigs, on-shore or off-shore, railroad and transit car wiring, electric earth-moving equipment, in shipyard applications, arc welder supply leads, power and control jumper cable, Telcom power supply and motor leads. The cable is suitable for use in wet or dry areas, conduit, ducts, troughs or trays, and where superior electrical properties are desired. The maximum continuous conductor temperature for normal operation in wet or dry locations is 90°C. DLO resists oils, acids, alkalies, heat, flame, and has abrasion resistance.
