SYSTEM 1850 MI CABLE SALES GUIDE

nVent offers a robust and proven solution—nVent PYROTENAX Mineral Insulated (MI) wiring cable—for the safe operation of critical emergency circuits. These circuits are essential for the safe evacuation of buildings and to continue firefighters' efforts during an emergency. Typical fire-rated applications include wiring for fire pumps, emergency generators, firefighters' elevators and smoke extraction fans. Other applications for our MI solutions include the retrofitting of electrical power feeders in commercial buildings due to the need for increased ampacity without increasing the space needed.

Fires that occur in high-rise buildings, hospitals, airports, and tunnels can be costly and deadly if the emergency systems in place do not operate properly. North American manufactured nVent PYROTENAX fire-rated cables meet all NEC codes and will operate for at least 2 hours under fire conditions.
