MICO®

Characteristics

4

MICO® Mineral Insulated Cable is composed by:

● ETP solid (not stranded) copper cores, from 1 to 400 mm2, melting point 1082°C

● Magnesium Oxide (MgO) as electrical insulation, due to its high performance at high temperature (melting point 2600°C)

● high quality DHP copper sheath, manufactured starting from tubes extruded and drawn only (not welded), melting point 1082°C

● LSF additional outer covering. Such flame retardant poliolephin is characterised by high performance in corrosion resistance and low smoke emission.

MICO® Cable range is divided into:

● Light duty cables (300/500 V) from 2 to 7 cores, from 1 to 4 mm2 size

● Heavy Duty Cables (450/750 V) from 1 to 19 cores, 400 mm2 ma-ximum size for single core, 25 mm2 maximum size up to 4 cores.

Production process held by KME foresee many steps of diameter re-duction (both drawings and rollings) separated by high temperature annealing. Long lead time (average is 8 weeks) grants high quality cable at the end of the process: strong compression of MgO powder (density about 2 kg/cm3) allows very high values of insulation resi-stance (also if burned, 180° bended or flattened) and thermal con-ductivity. Therefore current ratings are higher than soft skin cables, especially at high temperature.

Applications and advantages

5

FIRE RESISTANCE – weaker situation is copper melting point (1082°C) MICO® is the safest cable, it can withstand to severe fire, water and mechanical tests as foreseen by British (LPCB), European and australian stan-dards

EMERGENCY SYSTEMS – MICO® is the only cable to go on wor-king also during a fire, so to supply (for at least 120 minutes, maximum time 3 hours) emergency lamps, acoustic alarms, sprinklers, automatic doors, eleva-tors and so on

FIRE DETECTION – MICO® cables allow fire controller units to recei-ve signals by fire detectors also during a fire. MICO® twisted cables (for signal transmission), in addition to MICO® light duty cables (for power supply), are able to match technical requirements by most popular fire detection systems

BUS SYSTEMS – world leaders like ABB or Schneider Electric alrea-dy tested and approved MICO® as suitable cable for distribution in their bus systems, limiting MICO® specification in fire hazardous areas or in historical buildings, where standard bus cables need are not recommended

HISTORICAL BUILDINGS – standard electrical plant can deeply impact aesthetical aspect of old buildings: where integrity of original structure must be saved and hidden installation is not allowed (or its cost would be too much), MICO® is the perfect solution for an installation at sight. You can also trust on copper capacity of disappearing, day after day, if used on particular environment like stone, brick, wood.

TUNNELS – emergency lights and fan coils are required to go on working also during a fire, to allow people using emergency exits. In order to save their life, MICO® is really able to withstand high temperatures during a car fire.

Furnace

Standard soft skin fire re-sistant cable before fire test

Temperature inside furnace according to standard ISO 91 curve: after 90’ it’s 1020°C (German fire test according to DIN 4102), after 120’ it’s 1050°C (Australian fire test according to AS 3013). Same test executed in Italy to classify MICO® as REI 90

Standard cable failure after few minutes of fire test

Soft skin cable insulation cracks and falls down after some mechani-cal hits

This is how soft skin fire resistant cable remains after few minutes of fire: would you trust on it ?

MICO® cable during fire test (950°C for 180 minutes)

MICO® cable during water test (650°C for 15 minutes, then water crush trough sprinklers)

MICO® cable during mechani-cal test (950°C again for 15 minutes then mechanical impact directly on the cable)

MICO® cables after all test: power supply is still granted

MICO®

PLAIN SEALS

It’s original MICO® termination type, characterised by minimum volume and minimum cost and execution time.Since it doesn’t foresee the connection of outer copper sheath, inside the junction box, to the earth system, it’s frequently used in public lighting to connect to double insulated lights and, for industrial applications in explosion-proof installation, within EEx d brass RAD ISO glands.

EARTH TAIL SEALSCopper outer sheath can be directly connected to earth system inside junction box by an annealed wire, already welded on brass pot.Also metallic junction box is connected as well by mechanical connection to outer sheath by brass glands, tightened through a locknut. Earth tail seals can so avoid an unpleasant outer earth connection.A correct execution of earth connection is extremely important for MICO® system, more than all other standard cables, since MICO® is the only cable to be installed at sight, exposed directly to touch also under 2.5 m of height, due to its structural mechanical resistance.

TIPICAL CONNECTION

Inside Junction boxes or enclosures, using standard hubs, MICO system is connected t ostandard wiring system. Earth tail seal and brass gland (by mechanical connection to metal enclosures) assure perfect connection to earth/ground system. MICO brass glands are IP67 waterproof approved.

KME Italy S.p.A.FIXING SYSTEMS

Polyolefin extruded protection on the cable, available in red, orange, white and black colour, is required when:● There are aggressive substances and therefore there’s danger for corrosion. Typical LSF cables usage is in chemical, pharmaceutics and oil industries.● Specific colour must identify the circuit type, like, for instance, LSF red to identify all cables part of fire detection systems● Specific LSF colour is considered as the best solution for cable camouflage.
