Low Voltage LSZH MI MIC MICC Muiti Core Mineral Insulated Kabel Metal Copper Clad Sheath Flexible Flameproof Fire Resistant Wire Cable
Mineral Insulated Cable (MIC), also known as Mineral Insulated Copper Cable (MICC), is a type of electrical cable that features a unique construction with conductors insulated using a mineral material, often magnesium oxide (MgO). This construction provides several benefits, particularly in harsh or potentially hazardous environments.
Construction:
Conductors: Usually made of copper or aluminum, the conductors carry the electrical current.
Insulation: The space between the conductors is filled with a compacted mineral insulation (typically magnesium oxide), which is non-combustible, moisture-resistant, and has excellent thermal conductivity.
Sheath: The entire assembly is encased in a metallic sheath, often made from copper or steel, which provides mechanical protection and additional fire resistance.
Sizes:
Mineral insulated cables are available in various sizes, with standard conductor sizes typically ranging from 1.5 mm² to 500 mm² (or larger) depending on the application. Common sizes include:
1.5 mm² / 2.5 mm² / 4 mm² / 6 mm² / 10 mm² / 16 mm² / 25 mm² / 35 mm²
50 mm² / 70 mm² / 100 mm² / 150 mm² / 240 mm² / 300 mm² / 500 mm²

Applications:
Mineral insulated cables are used in a variety of applications, particularly where resistance to fire, moisture, and mechanical damage are paramount.
Common applications include:
Fire Alarm Systems: MIC cables are used in fire alarm systems because of their fire-resistant properties.
Emergency Lighting: They are suitable for wiring emergency lighting systems and exits, ensuring functionality during power outages.
Industrial Applications: Often employed in process industry installations where they must withstand harsh environments (e.g., petrochemical facilities, power plants).
Power Distribution: Used for power distribution in buildings and infrastructures, particularly where high safety standards are required.
Submarine and Building Installations: Qualified for use in scenarios where cables must be pressure-tested or in wet conditions.
Public Infrastructure: Used in railway and tunnel systems due to their reliability and durability.
Data and Communication: Specialized versions can be used in data and communication cabling where immunity to external environmental influences is needed.
Advantages:
Fire Resistance: The non-combustible insulation significantly improves fire safety.
Durability: The robust construction provides great mechanical protection against damage.
Moisture Resistance: Suitable for environments where exposure to moisture and corrosive elements occurs.
Low Smoke Emission: In case of fire, the cable emits minimal smoke, enhancing safety.
Longevity: MIC cables have a long lifespan, often exceeding that of conventional cables.
Disadvantages:
Cost: MIC cables can be more expensive than conventional cables.
Installation: They can be more challenging to install and require specialized skills and tools.
For any specific installation, it is essential to adhere to local codes and regulations, as various factors can influence the appropriate choice of cable, such as electrical load, installation environment, and safety requirements.
