The BTTZ Cable is a cutting-edge electrical cable featuring a copper conductor, seamless copper sheath, and magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation. Often referred to as a heavy-duty MI cable, this innovative solution is engineered for applications demanding exceptional high-temperature performance and fire resistance. Its unique construction provides high current carrying capacity, a compact diameter, and remarkably high mechanical strength. The BTTZ cable is capable of continuous operation at and can even maintain functionality for 30 minutes at , making it the ideal choice for environments requiring extreme durability and fire safety.
Highly regarded for its fireproof, explosion-proof, non-flammable, and exceptionally durable characteristics, the BTTZ cable eliminates the need for a separate grounding wire, offering a comprehensive solution for installations in fire safety circuits and emergency power systems.
Key Features of BTTZ Mineral Insulated Cable
-
Fire Resistance: Constructed entirely from inorganic materials (copper and magnesium oxide), the BTTZ cable is inherently fire-resistant. It will not burn or propagate flames, even under direct fire exposure. The cable remains functional in a fire for up to 3 hours at and up to 30 minutes at .
-
High Current Carrying Capacity: BTTZ cables boast a high current carrying capacity due to their ability to operate continuously at temperatures up to , a significantly higher threshold than standard cables. The use of magnesium oxide as insulation facilitates superior current transmission compared to conventional plastic-insulated cables.
-
Explosion-Proof: The seamless copper sheath and highly compressed insulation effectively prevent the passage of flammable oils, gases, and flames, making the BTTZ cable highly suitable for explosion-proof installations.
-
Overload Protection: Unlike traditional cables, the BTTZ cable is robust against damage from overloads or short circuits. It continues to operate as long as the temperature does not reach the melting point of copper. Its inherent resistance to overcurrent ensures it will not ignite or cause electrical faults during overload conditions.
-
High Temperature Adaptability: The BTTZ cable is engineered to operate in high-temperature environments, sustaining continuous operation up to and capable of functioning at for short durations, thereby withstanding extreme conditions.
-
Waterproof: Thanks to its seamless copper sheath and compact structure, the BTTZ cable is inherently waterproof. It remains fully functional even when submerged, making it ideal for wet or submerged environments.
-
Durable and Flexible: This cable offers exceptional resistance to mechanical damage and, after full annealing, becomes highly flexible. This characteristic makes it perfect for installation in challenging or difficult-to-reach areas. The BTTZ cable can endure bending, crushing, and twisting without compromising its electrical performance.
-
Long Service Life: Composed entirely of inorganic materials, the BTTZ cable is exceptionally durable and boasts an extended service life with minimal maintenance requirements. It is designed to perform reliably in installations for over 100 years without degradation.
-
Environmental Safety: The BTTZ cable is an environmentally friendly product, free from harmful substances or toxic gases. Even when exposed to temperatures exceeding , it will not release smoke, toxic fumes, or halogen gases, aligning with green product standards.
