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. |

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

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. |
