Type 240
Type 240 is a AS/NZS (Australia, New Zealand) cable designation: Type 240 = Type 240: AS/NZS 1802 composite-screened mining cable with three pilots, for long runs; Type 240 = Type 240: AS/NZS 1802 composite-screened cable with three pilot conductors, for long feeder runs. 1.1/1.1 kV to 11/11 kV (Prysmian p.14). AS/NZS 1802.

Type 240 as the cable designer builds it, 1x240 0.6/1 kV
Overall diameter 25.2 mm, about 2,390 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.
| Layer | Material | Thickness, mm | Over the layer, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulation | XLPE | 1.7 | 21.8 |
| Sheath | PE | 1.7 | 25.2 |
Type 240 on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 25.2 mm and about 2,390 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates within a few per cent of the cable makers' own tables: whole layers, wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim.
| Length | Drum size (its makers) | Layers | Gross weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 m | KTG 12 (1250 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 8 of 9 | 1,339–1,360 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 16 (1600 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 10 of 13 | 2,666–2,699 kg |
Barrel at least 20 × OD = 504 mm for a cable of this kind (Low voltage, single core): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.

Laying, sizes and datasheet: Type 240
Type 240 belongs to the family LV XLPE power cables: the lowest laying temperature, bending radius, pulling, depth, drum handling and the test after laying, every rule with its sources. Laying and handling guide: LV XLPE power cables
