Heat resistant cable suitable for immersion heater supply
 

Can anyone suggest a source of single core heat resistant cable with ~ 16A
rating? I have only been able to find this

http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products...R3slash50.html

RS used to stock various it, but it is now show as discontinued. I know I
could put silicone or PTFE or glass braid sleeve on normal PVC insulated
wire, but this doesn't really seem to be the right strategy.

Have you looked in cable, equipment wire, high temperature?

I dunno - that link doesn't seem to work.

But they and others do cable suitable for your application - although
you'd likely have to sleeve it at either end for identification purposes.

A quick glance at the website would suggest 483-5973

OOI, why single core cable?

CPC do silicone insulated wire such as order code CB10289 good for 180
deg C and in 25m reels, however that is only 10A. There is a 24A version
(CBBR1385) but only in 5m lengths.

Thank you Dave, well spotted. I guess I had a mind set that I needed power
cable, not instrumentation cable.

A mate of mine is replacing four domestic immersions in a light industrial
application with a couple of Redring industrial 3 phase jobs, but still run
off an existing single phase controller. To make a neater job I would prefer
to run the supplies in a flexible conduit rather than putting two or three
standard "flexes" through the 25 mm gland. Anyway thanks all for the links,
I now have several options. I was confused by RS apparently classing 25A as
"instrumentation" rather than "power" cable.

Like RS, only the catalogue is less well organised and they charge half
the price! ;-)

(make sure you get a paper catalogue - without it there are some things
you will never find on the web)
