Engineered for extreme durability and continuous heavy-duty power distribution, this 250 MCM 3-Conductor Type W Portable Power Cable is built to withstand relentless jobsite punishment. Rated for continuous 2000V operation, this industrial-grade trailing cable features fully flexible tinned copper conductors insulated with high-dielectric Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) and encased in a heavy-duty Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) thermoset outer jacket.
Whether powering heavy mining machinery, mobile compressors, high-capacity temporary generators, or 3-phase motor leads, this cable delivers unyielding mechanical impact resistance, extreme cold flexibility down to -40°C, and superior defense against oil, heat, flame, and sunlight.
Extra-Flexible High-Strand Tinned Copper: Built with 627 fine strands of soft-drawn tinned copper (ASTM B33) per conductor, giving you maximum flexibility around tight corners while preventing copper oxidation and corrosion at lugs and terminations.
Ultra-Rugged Thermoset CPE Jacket: Heavy-duty Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) outer sheath provides extreme protection against severe mechanical impact, sharp rock abrasion, crushing, fuels, solvents, and aggressive chemicals.
Extreme Weather & UV Protection (-40°C to +90°C): Highly resistant to ozone, UV sunlight, weather, open flames (FT1/FT5), and shallow water immersion. It stays completely pliable in sub-zero freezing cold down to -40°C while delivering full 90°C wet/dry thermal protection.
2000V Heavy-Duty Power Capacity: High-grade Ethylene-Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation delivers high dielectric strength and reliable 2000V power density without thermal breakdown.
Color-Coded Conductors: Features color-coded conductors (Black, White, Green) for fast, error-free phase and equipment ground identification during complex panel hookups.
Anti-Slipping Core Construction: Built with rubber fillers and a heavy-duty internal binder tape that locks the inner conductors to the outer jacket. This prevents internal slippage, conductor twisting, and sleeve bunching when dragging the cable across job sites or pulling under high tension.
Voltage Rating: 2000 Volts (Type W)
Conductor Size: 250 MCM
Number of Conductors: 3 Conductors (Black, White, Green)
Conductor Stranding: 627 Strands (Tinned Soft-Drawn Annealed Copper)
Insulation Material: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR)
Nominal Insulation Thickness: 0.095 inches (2.41 mm)
Jacket Material: Black Heavy-Duty Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)
Nominal Outer Diameter: 2.29 inches (58.2 mm)
Approximate Net Weight: 4,205 lbs per 1,000 ft (6,257 kg/km)
Allowable Ampacity: 402 Amps @ 90°C
Minimum Bending Radius: 6 x Outer Diameter (13.74 inches / 349.2 mm)
Temperature Rating: -40°C to +90°C (Wet or Dry)
Compliance & Approvals: UL 44, UL 1650, ASTM B-33, CSA C22.2 No.96-17, MSHA (P-7K-268101), UL E207132 (Oil & Sun Res), FT1/FT5 Flame Test, RoHS Compliant.
3-Wire Temporary Power Distribution: Feeding high-amperage temporary power panels, portable generators, and transformers requiring equipment ground protection.
Mining & Heavy Industrial Equipment: Powering mobile mining machinery, heavy conveyors, shuttle cars, and plant equipment where bare grounding conductors are not required.
Marine & Offshore Facilities: Shore-to-ship power transfers and dockside electrical connections requiring shallow water immersion and oil/sunlight resistance.
Industrial Plant Turnarounds: Delivering heavy-amperage 3-phase feeder power during maintenance shutdowns, motor lead replacements, and utility bypasses.

Multi-conductor 250 MCM-3C Type W cable is a heavy-duty 2000V portable power cable designed for high-amp three-wire temporary power distribution, dynamic portable equipment, industrial pumps, and mining equipment. Common uses include generator tails, heavy industrial motor leads, shallow water dewatering pumps, shipyard power, and temporary jobsite distribution panels. Explore our complete Type W cable collection for additional conductor counts and sizes.
Per NEC Table 400.5(A)(2) and manufacturer specifications, a 250 MCM 3-conductor Type W cable rated at 90°C carries a maximum continuous ampacity of 402 Amps in free air (based on a 30°C ambient temperature). Always check derating factors and local electrical codes for your specific setup.
Yes. 250 MCM Type W cable features an extra-heavy-duty CPE jacket and EPR insulation rated for shallow water immersion, as well as wet or dry environments from -40°C to +90°C. It handles continuous UV sunlight, ozone, oils, and aggressive jobsite chemicals without breaking down.
No. Under NEC Article 400, multi-conductor flexible portable power cords are restricted to temporary power distribution and equipment leads. Unlike single-conductor Type W (which carries a dual RHH/RHW-2 building wire rating), multi-conductor Type W cannot be pulled through permanent building conduit or raceways.
250 MCM 3-Conductor Type W uses 627 fine strands of tinned copper per conductor for extra flexibility around tight corners. With a minimum bending radius rating of 6 times the overall outer diameter (2.29" OD), this cable requires a minimum bending radius of 13.74 inches (349.2 mm) for safe field routing.
While both are extra-heavy-duty 2000V portable power cables built with flexible tinned copper, EPR insulation, and a rugged CPE thermoset jacket, their grounding construction differs:
The three conductors inside a 250 MCM-3C Type W cable are color-coded Black, White, and Green for clear circuit identification. Per UL and CSA standards, the Green conductor is designated specifically for equipment grounding purposes.
