5Watts 16 AWG NPC Shield TC Braid Fluoropolymer 200/277V BTV Self-Regulating Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 5Watts 16 AWG NPC Shield TC Braid Fluoropolymer 200/277V BTV Self-Regulating Heating Cable: 100 Amps

About:

The BTV series heating cable is an advanced, self-regulating heat tracing system that adjusts its power output based on the surrounding temperature. This feature helps in preventing overheating or energy wastage. The cable's core is capable of expanding and contracting to accommodate changes in temperature, ensuring consistent and efficient heat distribution.

Also Known As:

• BTV heating cable
• Nickel-plated copper shield
• TC braid heating cable
• Self-regulating heating cable

Application:

• Area classification: Nonhazardous and hazardous locations
• Traced surface type: Metal and plastic
• Chemical resistance: • -CR  Flame Retardant modified polyolefin outer jacket for exposure to aqueous inorganic chemicals
                                          • -CT  Fluoropolymer outer jacket, inherently fire resistant for exposure to organic chemicals or corrosives
                                          • For aggressive organics and corrosives: Consult your nVent representative.

Standards:

• IEEE standards for electrical heating.
• UL standards for safety.
• CSA certification for use in Canada.
• Any other relevant international or industry-specific standards.

Construction:

• Inner Heating Core: A conductive polymer that regulates the heat output based on the ambient temperature.
• Insulation Layer: Dielectric material surrounds the heating core, providing electrical insulation.
• Nickel-Plated Copper Braid: Offers additional mechanical protection, grounding path, and resistance to corrosion.
• Outer Jacket: A protective outer layer that is resistant to environmental factors like moisture, chemicals, or UV radiation.

Features:

• Nickel-plated copper shield provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring a long lifespan for the heating cable.
• TC (Tin-Copper) braid enhances the cable's flexibility and strength, allowing for easy installation and maintenance.
• Self-regulating technology ensures energy efficiency by automatically adjusting the heat output based on the surrounding temperature, minimizing energy consumption and reducing operating costs.
• Ideal for a wide range of applications, including freeze protection, temperature maintenance, and heat tracing in various industrial, commercial, and residential settings.
