Specialised MI Cables for Nuclear Power Plant Feedthroughs
Understanding MI Cables
Mineral Insulated (MI) cables are a unique type of electrical cable designed for harsh environments, including high temperatures, radiation exposure, and corrosive atmospheres. These cables are constructed with a central conductor surrounded by a magnesium oxide mineral insulation and a metallic sheath, providing exceptional performance and reliability.
MI Cables in Nuclear Power Plant Feedthroughs
Feedthroughs are critical components in nuclear power plants, allowing electrical signals to pass safely between containment areas and external systems. MI cables are ideally suited for use in feedthrough applications due to their:
- Radiation Resistance: MI cables can withstand high levels of radiation exposure, making them ideal for use in nuclear environments.
- High Temperature Capability: MI cables can operate at temperatures up to 450°C, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions.
- Corrosion Resistance: The magnesium oxide insulation provides excellent resistance to corrosion, preventing damage to the cable and ensuring long-term reliability.
- Flame Retardant Properties: MI cables are inherently flame retardant, minimising the risk of fire in the event of an emergency.
