1000V Fire Resistance Cable

MICC Heavy Duty Mineral Insulated Cable 1000V Fire Resistance Cable

Description

Fire and heat resistant The inorganic construction of mineral insulated cable makes it extremely fire and heat resistant. With an operating limit equal to the melting point of copper, 1982ºF, 1083ºC – it can easily withstand high temperatures and heavy current overloads. It emits no smoke or toxic substances and allows no flame propagation. In contrast, a third party test proved standard conduit and wire failed at 425ºF. These fireproof properties make it the best choice for connecting motor operated valves, control stations, plant shutdown systems, instruments and power devices that must remain operational under actual fire conditions. Mineral insulated cable and cable assemblies are extremely reliable as power and control cables in hospitals, hotels, high rise buildings for emergency generators, fire pumps, smoke and vent exhaust fans, communication circuits, multiplex alarm systems and instrumentation. Other applications include wiring connections to electric heaters on boilers, tanks and furnace wiring, metal smelters and lumber kilns, where regular pvc insulation hardens and cracks and has to be replaced regularly.

Advantages of Mineral Insulated Cables

Since all the materials of this cable are inorganic, it has some advantages that other cables cannot have, such as, fire prevention, high current carrying capacity, resistance to mechanical damage, non-toxic, non-halogen, explosion-proof, waterproof, corrosion resistance, long life, safety, overload resistance, high temperature resistance, low cost, small bending radius, anti-ant, anti-rat bite, copper sheath used as a protective grounding wire and so on.
