some of the most challenging operational locations in the world. In oil & gas for instance one of the key hazards to onsite workers and the facility itself is the risk of fire or explosion and how to contain this to prevent a disaster.

However, in the unlikely event of a fire or explosion the chosen system must perform beyond any regular true fire scenario that could ultimately result in fatalities and destruction. This scenario is even more so in a hazardous area. The system needs to contain the explosion, quench the flame and avoid a spark entering the explosive atmosphere. This equipment will only need to perform once, however, when it does it needs to be up to the task. The Wrexham Mineral Cable system is designed and tested to do just that.</p> <p>Mineral Insulated Cables survives during a fire in excess of 1000掳C making it the essential choice for areas which are high risk of flash over fires such as petro chemical plants. The construction of mineral insulated Cables includes a solid copper sheath which is non penetrable and suitable in some of the harshest environments. A bare mineral insulated cable can operate continuously at 250掳C and requires no conduits, plastics or polymers to aid fire protection.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="pg-580-6" class="panel-grid panel-no-style" style="margin-bottom: 40px" ><div id="pgc-580-6-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-580-6-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child" data-index="7" ><div class="so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-c67d20f9f743-580" > <div class="sow-image-container"> <img decoding="async" src="https://wrexhammineralcables.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/hazardous-explosive-diagram.png" width="1012" height="453" srcset="https://wrexhammineralcables.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/hazardous-explosive-diagram.png 1012w, https://wrexhammineralcables.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/hazardous-explosive-diagram-300x134.png 300w, https://wrexhammineralcables.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/hazardous-explosive-diagram-768x344.png 768w, https://wrexhammineralcables.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/hazardous-explosive-diagram-700x313.png 700w" sizes="(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 1012px" alt="" class="so-widget-image"/> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="pg-580-7" class="panel-grid panel-no-style" style="margin-bottom: 40px" ><div id="pgc-580-7-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-580-7-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child" data-index="8" ><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <p>In Exd Hazardous areas, fire performance cables would need to be installed inside conduit.

From a fire performance perspective it has not been surpassed by any other cable system. But combining a mineral insulated cable with an Exd rated cable gland you can achieve a hazardous area cable system suitable for zones 1 & 2 in one easy installation. Fitted with a fully approved cable gland there is no additional conduit needed or waiting for hours at a time for resins to cure. Consequently Exd installations can be achieved in less than 10 minutes.</p> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="pg-580-9" class="panel-grid panel-no-style" style="margin-bottom: 40px" ><div id="pgc-580-9-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-580-9-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child" data-index="11" ><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="/how-micc-works"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-1305 size-medium aligncenter" src="https://wrexhammineralcables.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/wmc-how-micc-works-button.svg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="pg-580-10" class="panel-grid panel-no-style" ><div id="pgc-580-10-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-580-10-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child" data-index="12" ><div class="so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base" > <div class="siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget"> <p><strong>WMC Quality</strong><br /> The quality and reliability of Wrexham Mineral Cables is recognised worldwide and throughout the electrical industry.
