The selection of appropriate cables for hand-held mining equipment such as borers, drills, and portable machinery is a critical safety consideration in underground coal mining and general mining operations. Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1802 specifies construction and testing requirements for reeling and trailing cables specifically designed for use in underground coal mines, addressing the unique explosion hazards present due to methane gas and coal dust accumulation. Within this standard, different cable types serve distinct purposes, with Type 209 and Type 241 representing two fundamentally different design philosophies for power distribution to mobile equipment. 为手持采矿设备（如钻孔机、钻机和便携式机械）选择合适的电缆是地下煤矿和一般采矿作业中的关键安全考量。澳大利亚和新西兰标准AS/NZS 1802规定了专门设计用于地下煤矿的卷筒和拖拽电缆的结构和测试要求，解决了因甲烷气体和煤尘积聚而存在的独特爆炸危险。在此标准中，不同的电缆类型服务于不同的目的，其中209型和241型代表了向移动设备供电的两种根本不同的设计理念。
