One of the cables most often used in locomotives and in mining applications is the 262 MCM DLO Diesel Locomotive Cable. This cable has a variety of other uses, too, thanks to the fact that it can resist a number of different environmental factors.

The 262 MCM cable is manufactured according to ICEA S-75-318: Portable and Power Feeder Cables for Use in Mines and Similar Locations. It has been MSHA accepted through P-7K-123040 and is listed as a Type RHH-RHW-2 as per UL 44. The cable is listed under CSA as a Type RW90 1kV as outlined in C22.2 No 3895. This cable is low smoke rated and has met or exceeded flame tests FT-4 and VW-1.

Specifications:

The 262 MCM DLO Diesel Locomotive Cable is designed to resist oil, alkalies, acids, and heat. The insulation will hold up to some direct exposure to flames, plus it is abrasion-resistant. The cable can be used in wet and dry environments due to the fact that it does resist moisture.

The 262 MCM DLO cable has the following specifications:

  • Nominal insulation thickness of 0.095 inches
  • Stranding (Al/Stl) of 646/26
  • An allocable ampacity of 458 amps at 90 degrees C.
  • A diameter complete cable (O.D.) of 0.96 inches
  • A weight of 1130 pounds per 1,000 feet.

Applications:

This cable has a number of different uses. It is especially suited for use as a power supply cable in the traction motors in diesel-electric locomotives. However, as outlined in ICEA S-75-381, it can be used as a portable power feeder cable in mining operations and in drilling rigs. The cable may be found in shipyard applications due to the fact that it is moisture resistant and in electric earth-moving machines and equipment.

The 262 MCM DLO cable cab be used in ducts, conduits, troughs, and trays.

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. Specifications: • Made in accordance with ICEA S-75-381 - Portable and Power Feeder Cables for Use in Mines and Similar Locations • MSHA accepted (P-7K-123040) • RoHS Compliant • UL listed as Type RHH-RHW-2 per UL 44 • CSA listed as Type RW90 1kV per C22.2 No 3895 • Low Smoke Rated (LS-UL) • Meets FT-4 and VW-1 Flame Tests

The 262 DLO cable is a 2,000-volt cable that has a wide range of heavy-duty applications. It is Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant. It is designed to withstand environments with a continuous temperature exposure of up to 90°C. The 262 DLO cable is abrasion resistant, has an exceptional resistance to impact. This means it is a great choice for environments where wire scratches and cuts as well as ceaseless heavy falls are common. The cable also meets the standards for CT use.

This cable is suitable for both wet and dry environments. Its resistance to oils makes it the cable of choice for use in an onshore drilling rig as well as in offshore oil drilling locations. The 262 DLO cable is resistant to UL sunlight, a perfect fit for applications that function in -40C settings and work well in open air cable installations. It has a copper conductor that is coated with tin, is highly flexible and fully annealed.

Some of the common applications of the 262 DLO cable include in transit and rail vehicles, shipyard welding, mining machinery, and cranes & hoists. Most diesel-electric engines use this cable in their power supply system. It is also common to find this cable in most electronically functioning, heavy earth-moving equipment across many industries. Utility facilities such as electrical generation stations use this cable because it performs excellently even moisture and abrasion-prone and areas. You will also often find the cable in use in many high-draw devices and appliances.

The 262 DLO cable is an approved standard in many industries. Some of its industry approvals include the ICEA S-95-685, the CSA RW90 and the UL Standard 44. It also meets the ASTM B33 and AAR-598 standards of perfectly hardened tinned copper.
