Electricity supply has become a lifeline for the modern day living as well as industrial sector. Almost every operation in industrial manufacturing and processing, construction, power generation, and many other fields cannot be executed without a safe and uninterrupted supply of electricity. Different methods are used in nascent times to generate electricity which includes thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, a non-conventional method for generating power and nuclear power plants. However, one of the major concerns for the electricity network is to maintain the electric cables in hostile conditions such as high temperature, electromagnetic interference, ionizing radiation, moisture, oxidization, and others. Normal electric conductor cable is incapable of sustaining the aforesaid conditions. Consequently, mineral insulated cables are being increasingly preferred over conventional cables so as to overcome the aforementioned issues.
Mineral insulated cable is a copper conductor cable enclosed in either copper or stainless steel sheath. The intervening space between the conductor and sheath is filled with magnesium oxide, which acts as an insulator for the conductor. Magnesium oxide restricts any kind of foreign intervention with the copper conductors. Thus, any kind of oxidization, electric or thermal conduction and radiation interference are avoided, thereby ensuring optimum efficiency of these cables.
The rise in power generation capacity is the most significant factor fuelling the adoption of mineral insulated cables. These cables are capable of withstanding heavy electricity load with robust protective insulated sheet. This ensures seamless conduction of electricity with minimal possibilities of short-circuit and fire. Consequently, mineral insulated cables are extensively used in electricity supply network in nuclear power plants as well as industrial manufacturing & processing sectors. Apart from these, mineral insulated cables are also used in other applications such as fire protection equipment, oil & gas rigs, construction and several others.
