Mineral Insulated Copper Clad Cable (MICC)
With a lifespan of over 50 years, MICC cables, are also known as mineral insulated copper-clad cables - or pyro cables. They are a type of electrical cable that is designed to withstand extreme heat and fire. Moreover, they are used in a variety of applications, including fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, and power supplies for critical equipment, where fire resistance and durability are important. With resistance to water, oil, pests, and harsh environmental conditions, MICC cable is commonly used in buildings such as hospitals, schools, office buildings, heritage buildings, and power plants.
MICC Cable Properties
Our MICC is totally Inorganic and Silicone free in construction. The main construction consists of solid copper conductors (cores), highly compressed powdered magnesium oxide, non-combustible, insulation (MgO) and a solid copper sheath.
Cable Temperature Rating
This unique construction gives melting points of 1083 °C and 2800 °C for the copper and insulation respectively. This provides better fire survival, whilst continuing to safely carry a load in temperatures in excess of 1000 °C.
MICC Applications
MICC is highly fire-resistant and retains its integrity even in extreme temperatures, making it ideal for use in critical fire protection systems such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire suppression, and smoke control systems.
Why Wrexham Mineral Cables?
Why Wrexham Mineral Cables (WMC)?
Mineral Insulated Copper Cable (MICC) has been in use commercially since 1937, the fact that it is still widely used today is evidence that it has not been bettered by any other cable system. Moreover, soft skinned polymeric cables are a compromise in safety, fire performance and longevity when comparisons are made to MICC cables.
Any cable system that relies on polymers for conductor insulation will burn and will be very likely to fail in a real fire situation, MICC cable does not rely on polymers for insulation.
