DLO wire
DLO wire Useage
DLO wire, or diesel locomotive wire, is a flexible single conductor copper wire used in motor and power leads. DLO wire can also be used to wire diesel locomotives, transit and railroad cars, oil and gas drilling rigs, telecom power supply, storage batteries and various types of earth moving machinery.
DLO wire is resistant to oils, acids, alkalies and heat. It has excellent impact and abrasion resistance. Its high strand count gives DLO wire high flexibility. It is a very popular product used frequently in many types of mines including coal, gold, diamond and copper.
DLO wire Properties
The different letters in DLO wire denote particular properties of the cable: D for Diesel , LO for Locomotive . A key difference from DLO wire over other mining cords and welding cables is its conductors are tin coated copper. This provides an additional protection of corrosion resistance.
Standard DLO wire carries a (2KV) 2000 volt rating. It is rated at 90 degrees Celsius. Sizes range from 10awg to 1111 MCM.
If your job requires additional voltage (over 600 volts), MSHA rating or increased flexibility that a welding cable can’t provide, DLO wire is the better option.
Cost Effectiveness
DLO wire can be an expensive option. The high strand copper count gives it flexibility but that increases the cost and so does the process of applying the tin coating to the conductors. In addition, the thermoset insulation and jacket are more expensive to manufacturer than most thermoplastics.
