MICO®

Characteristics Applications and advantages

54

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 maximum size for single

core, 25 mm2 maximum size up to 4 cores.

Production process held by KME foresee many steps of diameter reduction (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 resistance (also if burned, 180° bended or flattened) and thermal conductivity. Therefore current ratings are higher than soft skin cables, especially at high temperature.

LIGHT DUTY CABLES

Mineral Insulated cables – Light duty cable (300/500 V) – is the best solution for electric circuits installed at sight, in historical or relevant buildings, both indoor and outdoor. Due to their small dimensions, they can be installed quickly and easily. Copper outer sheath, who-se cross section is designed to be used as earth conductor, protects the cable from any mechanical stress like impacts, bending or flattening, giving at the same time a beautiful esthetical aspect to the cable. MICO® is not only a simple cable but, combining its use with the large range of copper and brass accessories, designed by KME, it can be considered as a complete wiring system.

HEAVY DUTY CABLES

The increasing of nominal voltage (450/750 V), due to higher thickness of copper outer sheath and Magnesium Oxide insulation, allows KME Mineral Insulated heavy duty cables to be installed in every critical environment, due to high humidity degree, or wherever the installation is dangerous due to possible mechanical damages. Wide manufacturing range, similar to soft skin wiring cable range, allow heavy duty cables design whenever big power is required.

Mineral cables are more efficient than standard wiring cables, in terms of resistance to thermal effects: this means that core cross sections (and cable outer diameters as well) can be reduced, under the same conditions of current ratings.

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 deeplyimpact 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 workingalso 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.

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 ?

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 ATEX area, within brass RAD ISO glands

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.

Copper 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.

Installation

For the correct and complete installation procedure and execution of the terminations procedure carefully fol-low what reported extensively in the full document “Instructions - Mineral Insulated Cable (MICO®) and their Terminations” available in full on the website www.kme.com or by e-mail at [email protected]. This document shows all KME accessories required and detailed procedures to fully execute transportation, installation and termination of Mineral Insulated Cable (MICO®), accompanied by technical data, tips and detailed illustrations about.

The mineral insulated cable is normally supplied in a self-supporting coil having an inner diameter of 500,1200 and 1450 mm, depending on the outer diameter of the cable. To properly carry out the coils is possi-ble to build a simple unwinder, using a metal profile or of wooden boards such as used for the support ofcommon cables.

Before fixing, the cable it must be straightened by hand or by using a straightener or a tube bender; thefinal straightening can be performed using a block of wood and a hammer, or with a rubber hammer; a me-tal hammer should never be used directly on the cable sheath to avoid compromising the mechanical andelectrical characteristics of the sheath.

When the temperature of the sheath of a cable MICO®, taking account of the ambient temperature and theincrease in temperature due to the current, does not exceed 70°C, one can choose between the bare cableand the cable coated in LSF; for temperatures of the sheath more than 105°C, one must choose the barewire; for continuous operating temperatures of above 250°C must be take account what described aboutthe GF sealant.

The MICO® cables can operate at temperatures above -200°C, without be susceptible to adverse effects;on the other hand, cracks can occur on the additional coating in LSF at temperatures below -20°C withoutaffect the functionality of the cable. This is why you should not run the installation of coated cable with extracover in LSF at temperatures below -20°C.

Termination execution

Cut the end of the cable by a small saw; place the stripper on the cable and tighten it: the blade must be in contact with the copper outer sheath and the V shaped clamp must be tightened on the cable by its screw, so to let the tool spin round with the cable without stopping it.

Start rotating the tool pushing it towards the inner part of the cable; avoid the rolling up of the copper shaving on the conductors, fixing it on the suitable hook.When you have stripped enough copper sheath, you can insert the pliers to cause the drop of the copper sha-ving.

Cut some lengths of sleeving and, after removing eventual exceeding sealant, place them on the stub cap.

NO YES YES

Remove from the brass pot the Magnesium Oxide shattered during previous operation.Check with a Megger, at 500 Vcc, that cable insulation resistance is higher than 100 MΩ; then pour the sealant inside the brass pot.

After pulling the conductors by a pliers, place the stub cap as close as possible to the brass pot, then start crimping using the suitable tool.

In case that the fitting/housing coupling is subjected to vibrations it is necessary, in order not to cause brea-kage of the cable, to make a compensation bend in the vicinity of the housing. In case of ATEX applications the fitting/housing coupling shall guarantee at least 5 threads and the minimum housing thickness must be greater than or equal to 10 mm, moreover, the lock nut (see last figure) is not present in these coupling.The seal is guaranteed by the full tightening of the metal double cone through the cone press and is entrusted to the care of the installer.

Screw the self threaded brass pot on the cable sheath, placing the inner part of the hole on the copper sheath.

To make a termination, you need the following components (in addition to the cable, of course): seal, gland, sea-lant, eventual LSF shroud (if cable is LSF required), and the following tools: stripper, spare blades, crimping tool.

Industrial applications

Frost protection or heating of an industrial process can be easily achieved by electric heat tracing.Mineral insulated heating cables becomes the best choice when: required specific power and/or process temperature is high metal cable systems are preferred due to environmental characteristics of installation site specific installation method requires circular or small diameter cables long cuts are required.

KME Italy, starting from usual project data, is able to offer power calculation, select the right cable type and, if required, supply complete heating units, ready to be connected to power supply.

Low temperatures inside refrigerator cells can slowly destroy basement of the building: to avoid this, it’s extremely important to foresee an efficient and everlasting heating system, to compensate thermal los-ses through the insulation. Characteristics of Mineral insulated heating systems match exactly with over described specifics.

Road ramps, both for vehicles or persons, outdoor surfaces, helicopters landing areas, hothouses and football grounds: heating in these areas are made by mineral insulated units, buried in concrete or deep in the ground (5 - 10 cm depth, step 15 – 20 cm) in order to achieve an homogeneous thermal distribution.If the system is workmanlike installed, it’s safe, eternal, easy to be managed and controlled; neverthe-less, in case of breaking, it cannot create anyway same big damages like traditional hot water systems.Underfloor heating of the buildings guarantees excellent comfort, due high quality in heat distribution. These systems, sometimes inconve-nient due to high cost of domestic electric power, are recently stron-gly developed with alternative power sources, like photovoltaic energy production
