Specification

About:

MI Series cables are Mineral Insulated heating cables, where 'MI' stands for Mineral Insulated. They are constructed using a bare copper conductor, magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation, and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. This construction makes the cable highly durable, fire-resistant, and suitable for environments where toxic smoke emission is a concern during a fire.

Also Known As:

• Mineral Insulated Heating Cable
• MgO Insulated Heating Cable
• LSZH Jacketed Heating Cable
• Bare Copper Heating Cable

Application:

• Freeze protection and temperature maintenance of pipes and vessels
• High-temperature industrial processes
• Fire-rated wiring for critical safety systems
• Heating in hazardous areas where gas or dust is present

Standards:

• IEC 60702-1 for Mineral Insulated cables
• Relevant local and international fire safety standards
• Standards related to low smoke and zero halogen materials, such as IEC 61034 and IEC 60754

Construction:

• Conductor: Solid or stranded bare copper is used for efficient heat transfer and electrical conductivity.
• Insulation: Magnesium oxide (MgO) provides excellent electrical insulation, high thermal conductivity, and good mechanical strength.
• Jacket: An LSZH jacket is applied for environments where low smoke emission and non-toxic gases are critical in case of fire.

Features:

• Reduced total installed cost
• Reduced power supply costs: lower start up currents compared with other technologies
• Simple controls: current monitoring on series resistance provides instant visibility on critical circuits
• Fast track/expedited service not available for configured heating units
