The arrangement of earth conductors within mining cables represents one of the most significant engineering evolutions in electrical safety design for the resources sector. According to the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2802:2000, different cable types employ distinctly different approaches to earthing, each with specific advantages for particular operational environments. 矿用电缆中接地导体的布置方式代表了资源行业电气安全设计领域最重要的工程演进之一。根据澳大利亚/新西兰标准AS/NZS 2802:2000，不同类型的电缆采用截然不同的接地方式，每种方式在特定操作环境中具有独特优势。

In Australia and New Zealand, electrical cable standards are developed and maintained by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand under the joint AS/NZS designation. Two standards frequently confused in mining and industrial contexts are AS/NZS 1802 and AS/NZS 2802. Despite their similar numbering, these standards govern fundamentally different cable categories with distinct applications, voltage ratings, and performance requirements.
