14 AWG 3C Nickel-Plated Copper Shield TC Braid Fluoropolyme Hazardous SC Series Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 14 AWG 3C Nickel-Plated Copper Shield TC Braid Fluoropolyme Hazardous SC Series Heating Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This specific cable features an 14 AWG wire gauge and includes three conductors (3C), making it robust for various applications. The nickel-plating on the copper conductors enhances their resistance to oxidation and corrosion, while the tinned copper (TC) braid offers excellent grounding capabilities and mechanical protection. The use of fluoropolymer insulation indicates high resistance to aggressive chemicals and extreme temperatures, aligning with the stringent requirements of hazardous environments.

Also Known As:

• Hazardous location 3-conductor heating cable
• Nickel-plated copper 3-core heating cable for explosive atmospheres
• Fluoropolymer-insulated TC braid heating cable for hazardous conditions
• SC series triple-conductor trace heating cable

Application:

• Freeze protection and temperature maintenance in pipes, tanks, and instrumentation within the oil, gas, and chemical industries, especially where explosive gases or liquids may be present.
• Process temperature control in applications within pharmaceutical manufacturing or other sectors where precision heating is critical in volatile environments.
• Heat tracing for fire protection systems in areas classified as hazardous.
• Anti-condensation measures in electrical panels and control systems within hazardous locations.

Standards:

• ATEX and IECEx for equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres.
• Applicable sections of the National Electrical Code (NEC) for hazardous locations.
• Likely recognition or certification by UL or CSA for safety and performance.
• Compliance with relevant industry standards, ensuring the cable's suitability for the intended hazardous environments.

Construction:

• Core: Three 14 AWG nickel-plated copper conductors provide reliable electrical and thermal conductivity.
• Insulation: High-grade fluoropolymer insulation surrounds each conductor, ensuring excellent dielectric strength and resistance to harsh chemicals.
• Shielding: The TC braid around the insulated conductors serves as a protective layer and grounding path, while also shielding against electromagnetic interference.
• Outer Jacket: A robust fluoropolymer jacket offers additional protection against environmental threats, mechanical stress, and chemical exposure.
