16 AWG NPC Shield Al Wrap TC Braid Red Polyolefin 220/240V HWAT Self-Regulating Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 16 AWG NPC Shield Al Wrap TC Braid Red Polyolefin 220/240V HWAT Self-Regulating Heating Cable:100 Amps

About:

The "16 AWG NPC Shield Al Wrap TC Braid Brown Polyolefin 220/240V HWAT Self-Regulating Heating Cable" is a type of electrical cable designed for heating applications. It typically maintains or raises the temperature of pipes and surfaces to prevent freezing or to maintain process temperatures.

Also Known As:

• Self-Regulating Heating Cable
• 16 AWG Heating Cable
• HWAT Cable
• 220/240V Heat Trace
• NPC Shielded Heating Wire
• Aluminum Wrapped Heating Cable

Application:

• Building and Construction: Used for pipe freeze protection, roof and gutter de-icing, and preventing ice formation on walkways and entryways.
• Industrial Processes: Maintains consistent temperatures in fluid transport pipes, tanks, and vessels.
• Residential Applications: Provides floor heating, driveway snow melting, and protects plumbing from freezing.
• Commercial Buildings: Ensures safe, ice-free access in public areas and protects critical infrastructure components.

Standards:

• UL standards for electrical and fire safety.
• IEEE standards for heating cables and systems.
• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for self-regulating heating elements.

Construction:

• Core: Self-regulating conductive polymer adjusts power output in response to temperature changes.
• Shielding: Nickel-plated copper provides electromagnetic interference protection, while aluminum wrap enhances mechanical strength and heat distribution.
• Braiding: Tinned copper braid offers additional mechanical protection and serves as a grounding path.
• Outer Jacket: Polyolefin material ensures environmental resistance, providing durability and insulation.

Features:

• Simple to design: single pipe instead of recirculation system
• Branch lines, instant hot water at tap: for reduced tap times and water waste, water maintained at specific temperatures, no return pipework or return of cold water into the water heater
• Easy to install: cut to length, meter marks, simple fast RayClic connections
• Energy efficient and safe: no overheating, advanced energy saving and monitoring with HWAT-ECO or ACS-30 controller
• Reliable during long life: 10 year product warranty available, aluminum foil layer to protect from chemical ingress, maintenance free
