Why are mineral insulated cables so important in industrial applications?

1. Excellent electrical performance
Stable insulation performance: Mineral insulated cables use mineral materials such as magnesium oxide as the insulation layer. This material can maintain good electrical performance even in high temperature environments, ensuring stable current transmission.
Large current carrying capacity: Compared with other types of cables, mineral insulated cables can transmit higher currents, thanks to their excellent conductivity and structural design.

2. Excellent safety performance
Fireproof properties: Mineral insulated cables will not burn or support combustion, and can continue to operate even under conditions close to flames. Its copper sheath melts at 1083°C, while inorganic insulating materials solidify at 2800°C, so it has extremely high fire resistance.
Explosion-proof performance: The seamless metal sheath allows the cable to maintain structural integrity when subjected to external impact or explosion, preventing current leakage and short circuit.
Corrosion resistance: The copper sheath of the mineral insulated cable has high corrosion resistance, and for most devices, it does not require additional protective measures.

3. Good mechanical properties
Resistant to mechanical damage: When the cable is subjected to deformation such as bending, flattening, and twisting, it will not cause short circuits and will not affect the electrical performance.
Long service life: The inorganic materials used in mineral insulated cables can ensure the stability, long service life and fire resistance of the cables. At an ambient temperature of 250°C, it can operate for at least 250 years.

4. Wide range of application fields
Industrial field: Mineral insulated cables are widely used in power transmission and control systems in industries such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, and mining. These industries have extremely high requirements for the high temperature resistance, fire resistance, and corrosion resistance of cables.
Other fields: In addition, mineral insulated cables are also used in high-rise buildings, airports, tunnels, ships, offshore oil platforms, aerospace, and other fields, providing safe and reliable power transmission and control systems for these places.

5. Meet safety and environmental protection requirements
Halogen-free and non-toxic: Mineral insulated cables will not produce smoke, halogens, and toxic gases when burned at a high temperature of 1000°C, which meets the safety and environmental protection requirements of modern industry and construction.
Policy support: As the country pays more attention to production safety and environmental protection policies become increasingly stringent, more and more companies are beginning to adopt safer and more environmentally friendly wire and cable products. Mineral insulated cables are favored by more and more companies for their excellent safety performance and environmental protection characteristics.
