Construction
Conductor
- 27% Nickel coated copper per ASTM B355: stranding per ASTM B8 (Class B), ASTM B173 (Class H) or ASTM B174 (Class K)
Insulation
- Glass reinforced mica tapes
Overall Jacket
- White or tan braided yarn impregnated with flame heat and moisture resistance finish.
Glass Reinforced Mica Tape Insulation Provides:
- Excellent dielectric properties.
- Superior high temperature resistance.
Overall glass braid jacket provides:
- Moisture resistance.
- Flame resistance.
- Mechanical protection.
Applications
- MG appliance wire is designed for use in wiring ovens or other high temperature equipment where temperature requirements do not exceed 450°C or 538°C.
- MG Appliance Wire is ideally suited for applications where extremely high temperatures are present, such as In the following industries:
- Iron and Steel.
- Glass.
- OEM.
MG Appliance wire
- Is a very rugged construction.
- Is moisture and chemical resistant.
- Contains no asbestos.
- Is constructed of primarily non-combustible inorganic materials.
- Emits minimal smoke when burned
- Possesses a superior ability to maintain circuit integrity under flames (singles have maintained circuit integrity for 30 hours in a conduit under flame conditions.)
- Is flexible and easy to install.
- Nickel coated copper conductor maintains flexibility and conductivity at elevated temperatures.
- Class K & H stranded conductors provide additional flexibility.
Approvals
- MG appliance wire listings: (UL) Style 5107 600 Volt appliance wire.
- Passes the 70,000 BTU/hr and the 210,000 BTU/hr industry standard vertical cable tray flame tests with circuit integrity for a minimum 2.5 hours.
