MYQ and MYP cables are both mining cables with very similar model numbers, differing only by one letter. Many customers unfamiliar with cables easily confuse the two. Below, we'll explain the differences between MYQ and MYP cables to help you distinguish them.
The following are several differences between MYQ and MYP cables:
1. The difference in name: MYP is a mobile shielded rubber-sheathed flexible cable for coal mining, while MYQ is a lightweight flexible cable for coal mining.
2. Their applications differ: MYP is used as a power supply for various mobile underground coal mining equipment, while MYQ is used for power supply connections for tunnel lighting, conveyor interlocking, and control and signaling equipment in coal mines.
3. There are differences in voltage levels: MYP offers voltage levels of 0.38/0.66, 0.66/1.14, and 1.9/3.3 kV, while MYQ offers only 0.3/0.5 kV.
4. There are differences in specifications and models. The maximum conductor cross-section of MYP can reach 150mm2, and the number of cores is fixed at 3 power cores and one ground core, while the maximum conductor cross-section of MYQ is 2.5mm2, and the number of cores ranges from 2 to 12.
