MI Cable installations
Mineral insulated cables are available for general wiring as:
● light-duty cables for voltages 600V and sizes from 1.0 to
10mm2
,
● heavy-duty cables for voltages 1000V and sizes from 1. Figure 6.2 shows PVC/SWA

cable sheath provides sufficient mechanical protection for all but the most
severe situations, where may necessary steel sheath conduit
over the cable give extra protection, particularly near floor level some
industrial situations.3 (p.
The cables are available with bare sheaths with PVC oversheath.
