conduit fill for SA cable

[relbas]

I need direction to locate a conduit fill chart for SA cable? I need to run a wire inside the sauna and I am planning to use High temperature liquid seal flexible conduit.

What is SA cable and why do you need to used it?

 

[roger]

It's a silicone cable 310.15(B)(18). I don't know of any table in annex C that includes it.

 

[xformer]

Why not just calculate the fill?

 

[Rick 0920]

I would treat the cable as one conductor. Calculate your fill at 53% and contact the cable manufacturer to obtain its approx. area in sq. in.

I am planning to use this cable because the rating is 200* C and it is going in to feed the sauna.
The typical temp inside the sauna is over 90* C so I am getting the seal tight that rated over 90* and this is the only high temp wire that I can get.
Am I thinking correctly or I am missing something?

 

[relbas]

the cable info that I got is 1.3mm isolation thickness and i need to run 4 conductors in 3/4 conduit

What is the outside diameter of the cable?

What kind of sauna has an operating temperature over 90° C?

 

[relbas]

HUUM is the manufacture name and they are claiming that the temperature inside the room can reach 180 and above.

 

[relbas]

so THHN wire will do the job ?

90° C = 194° F so it should be okay. Are you actually running the wires inside of the sauna?

It will require a 0.29 ampacity correction for a 180°F ambient.

 

[Barbqranch]

That sounds like an over rather than a sauna. I have read you can slow roast a turkey at 80 C.

 

[relbas]

90° C = 194° F so it should be okay. Are you actually running the wires inside of the sauna?

Yes it looks like a cocoon filled with stones in the corner of the room and the space about 3’ to the closest wall. I am afraid that the liquid tight will not handle the temperature
so the #8 thhn with the temperature correction is about 40 Amp?correct

 

[relbas]

What is the outside diameter of the cable?

1.3mm

1.3mm it is an individual wire #8 type SA

No contactor??? The full current shouldn't have to enter the sauna.

yes there are 2 contactor that supplying power to the sauna
