    Abstract According to the product standards， design codes and laying regulation，the three technical features of mineral insulated cable that influence its economical efficiency are discussed in details，i.e.，large current-carrying capacity；capable of direct laying without requirement of cable conduit，concealed laying in walls or laying on fire-proof cable trays；copper sheath can be grounded directly，thus saving one protection grounding conductor.　In comparison with mica and plastic insulated fire-resistant cable，it is demonstrated that it is more economical to use mineral insulated cable.
