MCS Furnace Cable
HIGH-TEMPERATURE LEAD WIRE
Ratings/Approvals:
- 700°C – 600 Volt (Optional SS Braid)
- 1000°C – 300 Volt
- Passes the IEEE-383 (modified) 210,000 BTU/hr Vertical Cable Tray Flame Test
- Passes UL VW-1 Vertical Flame Test
- Passes CSA FT1 Vertical Flame Test
- RoHS Compliant
Construction:
- Conductors
- 18 AWG – 8 AWG
- Solid or Stranded A Nickel
- Insulating System
- High quality reinforced mica tape
- Conductor Covering
- Ceramic fiber braid coated with a high temperature finish
- (Optional) Outer Braid
- Stainless steel (not recommended for applications exceeding 700°C)
Characteristics:
- Superior high temperature and oxidation resistance in normal temperatures to 1000 ̊C
- Fire resistant.
- Very low smoke emission when burned at rated temperature.
- Resistant to many chemicals.
- Maintains circuit integrity even when exposed to conditions of high ambient temperature and flame.
- Optional stainless steel braid provides mechanical protection.
- If wire is subjected to very rapid rise in temperature, the binder
in the construction can ignite but will quickly extinguish. The resulting white ash is non-conductive.
Applications:
- For use in non-flexing applications
- Wiring for ovens, kilns, and furnaces
- Where the normal installation environment includes continuous operating temperatures up to 1000 ̊C and intermittent temperature approaching 1200 ̊C
- Not recommended for outdoor use
