Primarily used in electrical emergency systems such as fire alarm systems & emergency backup power suplies, clean pyro is a common grade of cable weighed in at scrapyards.
These cables are mass produced across the globe and can be clean or coated with PVC and used in a wide range of environments. Sometimes they can be known as MI cable as they are mineral-insulated.
Whilst similar to clean pyro, the metal and electric wire inside of PVC pyro is insulated by a softer and more flexible form of Polyvinyl Chloride. This is to protect the inner core from damage in fires etc.
Typically, clean pyro is valuable due to the high amount of copper it contains! However because of the mineral insulation, the price of clean and pcy pyro cable is reduced when compared to clean copper or dry bright wire.
You much make sure there is no contamination to the pyro in the form of switch boxes, fire alarm switches, alarms or lighting attached.
Clean pyro is extensively used in electrical emergency systems for UK businesses.
Most alarm systems and emergency lighting power supplies contain clean pyro cable and PVC pyro is mainly used for power and control circuits in critical equipment due to its conductivity and insulation such as fire alarm systems and emergency lighting.
Fire alarms, emergency lighting systems and emergency power systems all contain PVC pyro.
Businesses, industrial sites and workshops will all have access to emergency systems and control circuits which contain this type of cable.
Alot of industrial business owners throughout the UK will encounter clean pyro for scrap such as factories, warehouses, food production businesses and offices.
Additionally, those who install, repair and replace electrical emergency systems will frequently come across this specific grade of scrap cable.
