Colour coding of thermoelectric and compensation cables is standardised in DIN EN 60584-3. Standardisation contributes to minimising the danger of confusion and current reversal.
The maximum operating temperature is defined by the insulating material, therefore the corresponding data sheets should be observed.
| Insulating Materials | Max. Temperature |
|---|---|
| PVC | 105°C |
| TPE-0 | 130°C |
| ECTFE | 135°C |
| ETFE | 155°C |
| Silicone | 180°C |
| FEP | 205°C |
| MFA | 235°C |
| PFA | 260°C |
| E-Glass Fiber | 400°C |
| R-Glass Fiber | 700°C |
| Silica | 1000°C |
| Nextel | 1200°C |
