10 AWG 3C NPC Shield TC Braid Polyolefin Freeze Protection Hazardous SC/F Series Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 10 AWG 3C NPC Shield TC Braid Polyolefin Freeze Protection Hazardous SC/F Series Heating Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This heating cable, characterized by an 10 AWG gauge and three conductors (3C), incorporates a Nickel-Plated Copper (NPC) shield and a Tinned Copper (TC) braid, encapsulated in a polyolefin insulation. Its construction is aimed at providing reliable freeze protection while ensuring safety in hazardous locations, denoted by the SC/F series classification.

Also Known As:

• Triple-conductor hazardous area freeze protection cable
• 10 AWG 3C NPC shielded, TC braided polyolefin heating cable
• SC/F series polyolefin-insulated heating system for hazardous environments
• Three-core NPC shielded heating cable for explosive atmospheres

Application:

• Maintaining fluid flow by preventing freeze-up in pipes, valves, and tanks within oil and gas facilities, especially in areas with explosive risks.
• Ensuring the operational integrity of process lines and fire protection systems in chemical plants or facilities handling volatile substances.
• Providing necessary temperature maintenance for safety systems and instrumentation in environments classified as hazardous, such as pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Standards:

• ATEX and IECEx certifications for safe use in explosive atmospheres, ensuring global compliance.
• NEC guidelines for hazardous locations, validating its use within North American safety regulations.
• Likely certifications from safety organizations like UL or CSA, demonstrating its adherence to high safety and performance standards.
• Conformity with relevant industry-specific standards, guaranteeing reliability and safety in its designated applications.

Construction:

• Conductive Core: Three 10 AWG conductors, nickel-plated to enhance electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
• Insulation: High-quality polyolefin insulation provides excellent chemical resistance and electrical isolation.
• Shielding: A TC braid surrounds the insulated conductors, offering added mechanical protection, grounding, and EMI/RFI interference resistance.
• Outer Jacket: A polyolefin outer layer further protects against environmental hazards, chemical exposure, and mechanical wear.
