12 AWG 3C NPC Shield TC Braid Fluoropolyme Hi-Temp Hazardous SC/H Series Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 12 AWG 3C NPC Shield TC Braid Fluoropolyme Hi-Temp Hazardous SC/H Series Heating Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This particular model features three 12 AWG conductors, enhancing its power distribution capabilities. The abbreviation "NPC" suggests that the conductors are made of Nickel-Plated Copper, which is known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. The "TC Braid" likely refers to a Tinned Copper braid that provides mechanical protection, electromagnetic shielding, and a grounding path. Encased in a high-temperature resistant fluoropolymer jacket, this cable is engineered for safe operation in hazardous environments.

Also Known As:

• 12 AWG 3-Conductor Nickel-Plated Copper Shielded Heating Cable
• Triple Conductor TC Braid Fluoropolymer Insulated Heating Cable
• High-Temperature Hazardous Location Heating Cable

Application:

• Temperature Maintenance: Ensuring process temperatures remain consistent in industrial environments, particularly where hazardous materials are present.
• Freeze Protection: Preventing the freezing of contents in pipelines, tanks, and other vessels, especially in hazardous locations.
• Heat Tracing Systems: Providing necessary heat to maintain fluidity in pipes, prevent condensation, and protect against freezing.
• Critical Equipment Protection: Ensuring vital equipment operates within safe temperature ranges in hazardous areas.

Standards:

• UL or CSA certifications for safety in hazardous locations.
• Compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for hazardous location installations.
• Adherence to international standards like ATEX or IECEx for global applicability in explosive atmospheres.

Construction:

• Conductors: Three 12 AWG nickel-plated copper wires, offering reliable conductivity and resistance to harsh conditions.
• Insulation: Each conductor is individually insulated with a high-temperature resistant fluoropolymer, ensuring electrical isolation and chemical resistance.
• Shielding: A tinned copper braid encases the insulated conductors, providing mechanical strength, electromagnetic protection, and a reliable grounding path.
• Outer Jacket: The exterior fluoropolymer jacket is designed to resist chemicals, abrasion, and extreme temperatures, safeguarding the cable's integrity.
