Mineral Insulated Cable
MICC Cable full form Mineral Insulated Cable. Mineral insulated copper-clad cable is one of the most common fire-resistant cables. These cables have annealed copper as the conductor, dense magnesium oxide as the insulation, and annealed copper tubing as the sheath.
All the materials used in the production of this cable by ZMS are made of inorganic materials and therefore have some advantages that other cables do not have.
Mineral Insulated Cable Types
MICC Cable --- Mineral Insulated Copper Clad Cable
- MICC Cable conductor: It is made of stranded copper wires with good bending characteristics.
- Insulation layer: Use high temperature resistant, non-combustible inorganic insulating material.
- Metal sheath: It is made of copper and copper alloy or stainless steel, which has good bending characteristics after special processing and can be used as a grounding wire.
- Outer sheath: Low-smoke non-toxic plastic material with good anti-corrosion properties.
Rated Voltage: 500V

BBTRZ Flexible Mineral Insulated Cable
Mineral insulated copper sheathed cable consists of multi-stranded copper stranded wire, mica tape mineral insulation winding, alkali-free glass fiber dense filling, copper tape longitudinally wrapped and welded into a copper tube sheath.
BBTRZ Rigid Mineral Insulated Cable
BTT Series Mineral Insulated Copper cable is a mineral insulated cable for international workers. It is a kind of cable with a seamless outer sheath, filled with tightly compacted magnesium oxide crystal powder as insulation material in the middle.
About Mineral Insulated Cable, many specifications can be customized, partly as follows:
Specification（mm2) | Outer Diameter (mm) | Allowed continuous load capacity(A) | Allowable continuous soil loading(A) |
1*1.5 | 11 | 35 | 44 |
1*2.5 | 11.4 | 46 | 59 |
1*2.5 | 22.1 | 59 | 78 |
1*6 | 12.7 | 75 | 96 |
1*10 | 13.6 | 100 | 134 |
1*16 | 14.7 | 130 | 137 |
1*25 | 16.4 | 170 | 230 |
1*35 | 17.6 | 210 | 279 |
Application Of Mineral Insulated Cables
Mineral Insulated Cable Uses are intended to protect copper conductors from fire, moisture, and other hazards, and work primarily on the principle of using highly compressed magnesium oxide insulation.
- Public buildings: public entertainment venues, high-rise buildings, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, schools, large shopping malls, stations, airports, ports, and other places with a large flow of people.
- High-temperature places: transmission and distribution lines in the metallurgical industry, coke industry, shipbuilding factory, steel industry, glass industry, and other high-temperature occasions.
- Dangerous places: petrochemical industry, oil refinery, gas station, paint, and paint industry, chemical industry, nuclear power plant, natural gas, mining, and other places.
- Underground places: subways, underground warehouses, tunnels, underground squares, etc.
MICC wires are also known as MICC Fire Resistant Cables, so they are particularly suitable for use in high-rise buildings and public places to provide safety. As a professional supplier, we have supplied this cable in projects in UAE, Thailand, Nigeria, and other countries.
Related Accessories For MICC Cable Termination Kit
MICC cable accessories include mineral insulated cable tools, MICC cable glands, terminal blocks, grounding lugs, intermediate connector accessories, etc.
An intact end installed at the end of a mineral insulated cable, usually including a cap and a stuffing box or a combined end/stuffing box. Each cable requires a terminal.
Used to connect conductors and control cabinet terminals or power supplies. It is composed of a press-fit nut, a press-fit oblique block, and a terminal body. There are two types of terminal blocks. One is the press-fit terminal block, which is suitable for connecting cables above 35mm2. Second, the crimping terminal is suitable for the connection of 6-25mm2 cables. Small size cables 4mm2 and below can be without terminal blocks.
When the copper sheath of the cable is used for grounding or the grounding of other electrical equipment connected with the copper sheath of the cable, a grounding sheet is required.
When the cable length is not long enough, it is necessary to use the intermediate connector accessory. It is a device that connects two cables of the same specification into one cable. Cable does not need, heat shrinkable tubing, intermediate connecting terminal, fireproof porcelain column.
ZMS provides a wide range of fireproof and explosion-proof MICC cable glands connectors (also known as cable fittings) and accessories.
Advantages of ZMS MICC Cables
- Fire Protection: Mineral insulated cables are made of inorganic metallic copper and magnesium oxide powder, which do not cause fires in themselves and are unlikely to burn items that support combustion. In the event of a fire close to the melting point of copper, fireproof mineral insulated cables will continue to supply power.
- High Load Capacity: Among cables with the same cross-section, mineral insulated cables have a higher load capacity than mica insulated cables and organic insulated cables.
- Good Waterproof Performance: The copper sheath ZMS in mineral insulated cables is a seamless copper tube, so water molecules are completely blocked out, and the waterproof performance is excellent.
- Explosion-Proof: The copper sheath used in mineral insulated cables is a seamless copper tube and the magnesium oxide powder is tightly compacted. Flammable gases, oil vapors, and flames cannot reach the electrical equipment connected to the cable, so the cable is explosion-proof.
- Corrosion Resistance: Copper has good corrosion resistance and requires no additional protection under normal use. The plastic outer sheath enables corrosion resistance and therefore the cable has good corrosion resistance.
- Resistance to Mechanical Damage: The conductor and metal sheath of mineral insulated cables have a certain degree of strength and toughness. When the cable is subjected to impact, bending, flattening, twisting, and other deformations, the sheath will not be damaged and no short-circuit effects will occur.
- Smoke-Free and Non-Toxic: The cable will not spontaneously combust under fire conditions, nor will it produce smoke and toxic gases, which is a truly safe and environmentally friendly cable.
