16 AWG 1C NPC Shield TC Braid Fluoropolyme Hi-Temp Hazardous SC/H Series Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 16 AWG 1C NPC Shield TC Braid Fluoropolyme Hi-Temp Hazardous SC/H Series Heating Cable: 100 Amps

About:

The 16 AWG 1C (1 conductor) indicates the gauge and the number of conductors in the cable. The NPC (Nickel-Plated Copper) shield and TC (Tinned Copper) braid denote the materials used for shielding and grounding, enhancing the cable's durability and electromagnetic interference protection. The fluoropolymer jacket provides high-temperature resistance and chemical resilience, making the cable suitable for hazardous locations.

Also Known As:

• "16 AWG high-temperature hazardous area heating cable"
• "Single-conductor nickel-plated copper shielded heating cable"
• "Fluoropolymer insulated TC braid heating cable"

Application:

• Process Temperature Maintenance: Maintaining consistent temperatures in industrial processes.
• Freeze Protection: Preventing the freezing of fluids in pipes and tanks within hazardous and high-temperature environments.
• Heat Tracing: Providing heat to pipes, tanks, and instrumentation lines to maintain process efficiency and prevent condensation.

Standards:

• UL listing for hazardous locations, ensuring it meets safety criteria.
• NEC compliance for installation in hazardous environments.
• Potentially other certifications like ATEX or IECEx for international use in explosive atmospheres.

Construction:

• Core: The 16 AWG conductor indicates a specific wire thickness capable of carrying the required current for heating.
• Insulation: A high-temperature resistant insulation, likely fluoropolymer, surrounds the conductor.
• Shielding: Nickel-plated copper provides effective electromagnetic and radio frequency interference protection.
• Braid: A tinned copper braid over the shield adds mechanical protection and grounding capabilities.
• Jacket: The fluoropolymer jacket offers chemical and high-temperature resistance, ensuring the cable's longevity in harsh environments.
