About:

The MI Series heating cable uses Magnesium Oxide (MgO) as its insulation material, which provides excellent electrical insulation and high thermal conductivity. This makes the cable efficient for heating applications. The core heating element is made from a copper alloy, which ensures reliable and consistent heat distribution. The outer jacket is red and made from LSZH material, minimizing the release of toxic and corrosive gases in the event of a fire.

Also Known As:

• Mineral Insulated Heating Cable
• LSZH Jacketed Heating Cable
• Red Jacketed MgO Insulated Cable

Application:

• Industrial process temperature maintenance or freeze protection
• Pipe tracing, roof and gutter de-icing, and snow melting
• High-temperature environments where low smoke and zero halogen materials are required
• Areas where fire safety is a concern, like underground tunnels, public buildings, or mass transit systems

Standards:

• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for mineral insulated cables
• Fire safety standards relevant to LSZH materials
• Industry standards for performance and safety in heating applications

Construction:

• Inner Conductor: Typically a copper alloy that provides good electrical conductivity and resistance to oxidation.
• Insulation: Magnesium Oxide (MgO) provides excellent thermal conductivity and electrical insulation.
• Sheath: A corrosion-resistant sheath, often made of a stainless steel or nickel alloy, encases the insulation.
• Outer Jacket: A red, LSZH material that is flame-retardant and emits low smoke and no halogens when exposed to fire.

Features:

• Long circuit lengths possible enabling cost effective heating of large areas
• Reduced power supply costs (lower start up currents compared with other  technologies)
• Three phase designs solutions allowing optimization of layouts
• Red LSZH jacket aids visibility while pouring concrete or asphalt
• Rugged cable construction
• Reliable during long life, 10 year product warranty available (robust and rugged construction, proven in harsh climates extends life expectancy)
