MI Cable

Mineral insulated (MI) cable consists of one or two resistance heating elements embedded in highly compressed magnesium oxide covered by a copper or an Alloy 825 stainless steel sheath. Application requirements determine resistance size and sheath material.


Terminal Construction


All 1 and 2 conductor cables come fully terminated and moisture proofed. The end termination consists of a thermal gradient section butt-connected to 19-strand THWN cold leads. The cold leads are crimped and soldered to the thermal gradient section, insulated with a high-dielectric, high-temperature tape, and epoxy potted in a rigid brass sleeve. The thermal gradient section is silver soldered to the heating wire and protected by a rigid brass sleeve with magnesium oxide.


HDPE Jacketing


Extruded, high-density polyethylene jacketing can be specified to provide optimal mechanical and corrosion protection. HDPE jacketing safeguards against damage during installation or use. It also provides a superior defense against corrosive chemicals, such as calcium chloride, and salts.
