22 AWG Nickel-Plated Copper Shield TC Braid Polyolefin 120V Frostex Self-Regulating Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 22 AWG Nickel-Plated Copper Shield TC Braid Polyolefin 120V Frostex Self-Regulating Heating Cable: 100 Amps

About:

The Frostex heating cable is a self-regulating cable that operates at 120 volts, designed to prevent pipes and other surfaces from freezing. The 22 American Wire Gauge (AWG) indicates the thickness of the nickel-plated copper conductors within the cable, which are encased in a tin-copper (TC) braid and polyolefin outer jacket. The self-regulating feature allows the cable to adjust its heat output along its length in response to temperature changes, enhancing its energy efficiency and safety.
