Chuang Xiong mineral insulated cable is called MI cable for short. When used as wiring, domestic custom is called Magnesium Oxide cable or fireproof cable. It is a copper core copper sheath cable with mineral magnesia powder as insulating copper core. The mineral insulated cable is composed of two inorganic materials, copper conductor, Magnesium Oxide and copper sheath. Mineral insulated cables were carried out early in foreign countries. Early in the late nineteenth Century, a Swiss engineer Arnold FrancoisBorel proposed the idea of mineral insulated cables, and was patented in 1896. After 1934-1936 years in France and Britain, they developed rapidly. The major industrial countries were developed in succession, Canada, Australia, the United States, the Soviet Union and Japan. In operation, China was also developed and manufactured in the 60s of last century, and began mass production at the end of twentieth Century. In twenty-first Century, it entered the national code for fire protection design and was widely used in China.
Composition: mineral insulated cable is a cable with annealed copper as conductor, dense Magnesium Oxide as insulation and annealed copper tube as a sheath. When necessary, a layer of plastic outer cover is packed outside the annealed copper sheath, and a low smoke and halogen free sheath can be added to the non smokeless and non halogen occasions.
