Product Overview

Type 240 is a composite screened cable designed to meet AS/NZS 1802 standards. It is widely used in mining applications with voltage ratings from 1.1/1.1 kV to 11/11 kV. The cable serves as a reliable feeder connection between transformers and gate-end boxes or similar equipment, continuous miners, and pumps. Featuring three pilot conductors, it supports long cable runs without compromising the pilot control protection system resistance, ensuring superior performance. For applications requiring higher flexibility, Type 241 cables are recommended.

Product Features

  • Standards Compliant: Fully complies with AS/NZS 1802 standards.

  • Triple Pilot Conductors: Three separate pilot cores enhance control system integrity over long runs.

  • Durable Construction: Composite screened cores and heavy-duty HD elastomer sheath provide excellent resistance to mechanical impact, chemicals, water exposure, and UV/weathering.

  • Flexible Design: Suitable for installation in free air, ducts, and on mobile mining equipment.

  • Fire Retardant: Meets flame and fire retardant behavior standards.

Application Areas

Ideal for feeder cable applications in mining environments, including connections between transformers and gate-end boxes, continuous miner cables, and feeder cables for pumps and similar equipment. Suitable for long cable runs and power supply to mobile mining machinery.

Installation and Maintenance

Cable is suitable for installation in free air, ducts, and on mobile equipment. Follow AS/NZS installation guidelines. Routine inspections are recommended to maintain sheath integrity and prevent mechanical damage.

After-sales Support
