10Watts 12 AWG NPC Shield Metal Braid Fluoropolymer 400/480V VPL Power-Limiting Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacityfor 10Watts 12 AWG NPC Shield Metal Braid Fluoropolymer 400/480V VPL Power-Limiting Heating Cable:100 Amps

About:

This cable is a type of electrical heating cable that adjusts its power output based on the surrounding temperature, providing energy-efficient heating. It is constructed to be durable and reliable in various environmental conditions, with specific features making it suitable for critical heating applications.

Also Known As:

Self-regulating heating cable
Power-limiting trace heating cable
Temperature-controlled heating cable

Application:

Pipe freeze protection in industrial and residential settings
Process temperature maintenance for industrial applications
Frost heave prevention in cold storage areas or buildings
Floor heating in residential or commercial buildings
Roof and gutter de-icing to prevent ice dams and icicle formation

Standards:

UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listings for electrical and fire safety
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standards for power and temperature characteristics
NEC (National Electrical Code) compliance for electrical installations
Potential certifications or compliance with international standards like IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)

Construction:

Conductive core:An NPC (Nickel Plated Copper) core adjusts its resistance based on temperature.
Insulation:A fluoropolymer insulation layer provides high chemical and thermal resistance.
Shielding:A metal braid offers additional mechanical protection and acts as a grounding layer.
Outer jacket:A robust fluoropolymer jacket protects against environmental threats and chemical exposure.

Features:

Efficient system design: high power output at elevated temperatures reduces heating cable required, flat P-T curve results in lower T start up and power equipment costs, longer circuit lengths due to larger cross section conductors
Maximum circuit length further increases when operating at higher voltages: reducing the number of circuits and power supply equipment
Fast installation: cut-to-length, multiple overlaps allowed, meter markings, user-friendly connections kits
Safe and efficient in operation: no overheating, uniform pipe temperatures, energy saving technology
Reliable during long life: 10 year product warranty available, maintenance free
