8 AWG 2C NPC Shield TC Braid Fluoropolyme Hi-Temp Hazardous SC/H Series Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 8 AWG 2C NPC Shield TC Braid Fluoropolyme Hi-Temp Hazardous SC/H Series Heating Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This heating cable features two 8 AWG conductor wires, providing reliable power delivery and heating capabilities. The "NPC" likely stands for Nickel-Plated Copper, indicating that the conductors are designed for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. The TC braid refers to a tinned copper braid, which offers additional mechanical protection and acts as an electromagnetic shield. The fluoropolymer jacket is designed for high-temperature operation and chemical resistance, making it suitable for hazardous environments.

Also Known As:

• 8 AWG 2-Conductor Nickel-Plated Copper Shielded Heating Cable
• Tinned Copper Braid Fluoropolymer Jacket Heating Cable for Hazardous Locations
• High-Temperature Resistance Hazardous Area Heating Cable

Application:

• Process Temperature Maintenance: Maintaining consistent process temperatures in industrial applications, especially in hazardous environments.
• Pipe and Vessel Freeze Protection: Preventing the contents of pipes and vessels from freezing under low-temperature conditions.
• Heat Tracing: Providing heat to pipes, tanks, and equipment to maintain fluid viscosity or prevent solidification.
• Fire and Explosion Protection: Ensuring that flammable materials are kept above their flash points to prevent solidification or condensation.

Standards:

• UL and/or CSA certification for use in hazardous locations.
• NEC compliance for installation in classified areas.
• Potentially international standards like ATEX or IECEx for use in explosive atmospheres.

Construction:

• Inner Conductors: Two 8 AWG nickel-plated copper wires, ensuring reliable electrical conductivity and resistance to oxidation.
• Insulation: High-temperature resistant insulation, likely a fluoropolymer, enveloping each conductor for electrical isolation and chemical resistance.
• Shielding: A tinned copper braid around the insulated conductors provides mechanical protection, electrical shielding, and a path for fault currents.
• Outer Jacket: A durable, chemical, and high-temperature resistant fluoropolymer jacket designed to withstand harsh environments.
