MI mineral insulated heating cable is ideal for rugged industrial pipe tracing applications. Its tough outer sheath of Alloy 825 resists damage during installation and provides a reliable electrical ground for safe operation. MI cable will not burn or support combustion All materials are inorganic and Will not deteriorate with age.
MI cable is made with either one or two conductors. insulated with compacted magnesium oxide for high dielectric strength Cable assemblies are custom made at the factory to meet your specific needs.
Construction :
■Resistance wire-one or two resistance Wires
■Insulation-High grade densely compacted mineral insulation
■Sheath -Heavy Duty Alloy 825 Metallic Sheath

MI Mineral Insulated High Temperature (cont’d):
able Design for Pipes
Step 1 - Heater Design Determine heater design to use. Design D is usually the most convenient design using two conductor cable.
Step 2 - Heat Loss(W/M) Use the value calculated from Technical section- Heat Loss Calculations, Pipe & Tank Tracing.
Step 3 - Cable Length (L) Use the length calculated from Application & Selections Guidelines in this section.
Step 4 - Supply Voltage Available (V) Determine what voltage is available. When different voltages are available, it provides multiple cable choices which may result in a more accurate design.
Step 5 - Calculate Resistance per Meter(R/M)
Step 6 - Select the Meter(R/M) Rating Choose a cable having equal or the next lower resistance per Meter value from Ordering Information Table, next page
Step 7 - Calculate Actual W/M. and total wattage (W)
Step 8 - Determine Current Draw(I)
Step 9 - select Heater Single or Double Conductor Cold Lead Length The cold lead length is determined by the customer or by using a nominal 1.0 Meter. All cold leads are 6.0~8.0mm WG with 40 Amp maximum current capacity
Step 10 - Convert Design to a Model Number
Or dering Information
To Order-Complete the Model Number using the Matrix provided. If applicable,specify
