Flexible Mineral Insulated & Sheathed Cables
The BTRY Flexible Mineral Insulated & Sheathed Cable is used in applications that need flexibility, durability, and fire resistance. It uses a mineral-insulated core to protect against high temperatures, mechanical damage, and any electrical faults. It is mostly used in applications where cables must withstand harsh environments, including extreme fire conditions. This flexible mineral insulated cable is best for demanding industrial settings and tight spaces.
- Insulation Material: Mineral insulation handles temperature resistance and offers long-term durability.
- Sheath: Uses a metal sheath to protect and resist any damage caused.
- Voltage Rating: Low to medium voltage (typically up to 1 kV).
- Temperature Range: Can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +250°C.
- Flexibility: Allows installations in spaces that are tight and areas that need frequent bending.

Engineering Features for Optimal Cable Performance
- Cooper Conductor:
Offers excellent electrical conductivity with efficient power transmission and minimal energy loss. Due to its highly conductive properties, it's best to use it on electrical cables for high performance.
- Mineral Insulated:
Provides high resistance to thermal and fire with mineral based material insulation. This allows it to withstand extreme temperatures and provide safety in areas likely to cause fire.
- Mineral Sheath:
The mineral insulated metal sheathed cable structure offers mechanical protection and fire resistance. It prevents damage from external forces while also making sure of the cable's safety in hazardous environments.
- Insulation:
Uses high-performance insulation for electrical isolation and prevents short circuits and other external interference, especially in demanding conditions.
- Fire Protection Layer:
Offers extra safety and prevents the spread of flames along the cable using its fire-resistant properties. This makes them suitable for use in fire-sensitive areas.
- Halogen Free Adhesive Tape:
Secures the internal components of the mineral cable and lets no toxic gases be released in the event of a fire. This feature makes cable safer for use in spaces that are tight.
- Green Jacket:
This is the outermost layer of protection that differentiates the cable. It helps to protect against moisture, damage, and other environmental factors while identifying the mineral-insulated cable's function (often associated with grounding or safety).
Core Functions of the Power Cable
- Fire Resistance:
Mineral insulation has properties that resist high heat and help the cable work well in areas with a high risk of fire.
- Mechanical Protection:
The metal sheath protects the core from any damage that is caused physically, like corrosion, crushing, or other physical stress.
- High Temperature Resistance:
Helps to operate in high-temperature environments in case of failure of traditional cables.
- Flexibility:
Best to install in tight spaces or locations that need the cable to bend or move frequently.
Key Applications and Installation Environments
- Critical Power Supply:
Used in places maintaining electrical power to supply power during a fire for emergency lighting, fire alarm systems, and hospital equipment to keep on working.
- Industrial Applications:
Used for transmitting power in high-risk industries, including petrochemical plants, mines, and power stations.
- Fire-Resistant Installations:
Best for places that require cables to remain in operational mode even during extreme fire conditions, such as in airports, tunnels, and high-rise buildings.
- Portable Power Applications:
Mineral insulated cable is used for portable power setups to move and work well in harsh environments.
