TYPE 240-LED: AS/NZS 1802 Certified Self-Powered LED Illuminated Power Supply Cable for Underground Coal Mining
Comprehensive professional guide to the TYPE 240-LED — an AS/NZS 1802:2003 certified power supply cable for underground coal mining with integrated self-powered LED illumination and composite copper/polyester braid insulation screening. In FeiChun’s AS/NZS 1802 illuminated cable range, the TYPE 240-LED fills a specific and important niche: power supply applications where earth-fault current capacity and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are critical requirements. Where the TYPE 241-LED (flagship) uses a semi-conductive elastomeric screen for maximum FC-EMH™ induction efficiency, the TYPE 240-LED uses a composite copper/polyester braid screen that delivers superior earth-fault current-carrying capacity and better EMC shielding — essential for feeding longwall variable-speed drives (VSDs), AFC drives with sensitive PLC control systems, and any underground coal equipment where electromagnetic interference could compromise safety-critical control electronics. FeiChun’s engineering team has developed a braid-compensated FC-EMH™ coil geometry specifically for the Type 240 construction, overcoming the 25–30% magnetic-field attenuation caused by the copper braid’s eddy-current shielding to deliver reliable LED illumination at all normal operating loads. The proprietary FC-TPU™ P-Series sheath (Formula FC-2026-TPU-P4) is optimised for the semi-permanent static deployment typical of power supply cables — resisting flat-spotting, creep, and long-term degradation during prolonged installation along gate roads. This article covers cable construction, the braid screen vs elastomeric screen trade-off, braid-compensated energy harvesting, four-layer surge protection, complete dimensional and electrical data across all four voltage classes (1.1–11 kV, 33 part numbers), standards compliance, application scenarios, product selection against the TYPE 241-LED, and direct factory procurement.

The MA mark, administered by the National Coal Mine Safety Mark Office (煤矿安全标志办公室), represents mandatory safety certification for all underground coal mining equipment and materials. MYP cables, as mobile power supply cables for coal mining machinery, fall under the strictly regulated product categories defined in the Mining Product Safety Sign Management Catalog and must comply with Chinese national standards MT 818 series and GB 12972.[1][2] 是的,MYP电缆在中国煤矿使用前必须获得MA(煤安)认证。由国家煤矿安全标志办公室管理的MA标志,代表了所有井下煤矿设备和材料的强制性安全认证。MYP电缆作为煤矿机械的移动电源电缆,属于《矿用产品安全标志管理目录》中严格管制的产品类别,必须符合中国国家标准MT 818系列和GB 12972。](https://feichuncables.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/image-653.avif)
