NELCON Constant Wattage Cable
Nelson Nelcon Type NC constant wattage heater cable is a parallel resistance electric heater strip that produces the same watts per foot of heat along its entire length. A fluoropolymer sheath material is extruded over the two multi stranded, nickel plated, 12-gauge copper bus wires. The nichrome heating element is spirally applied around parallel construction and in contact with the bus wires at specific intervals known as zones. A fluoropolymer outer jacket is then extruded over the construction to provide dielectric strength, moisture resistance, and for protection from impact and abrasion damage. A stranded tinned copper metal braid is supplied on all heaters. An optional stainless steel braid is available for mechanical abuse situations. An optional fluoropolymer overjacket can be specified when the heater is to be installed in wet or corrosive environments.
