KCA

KCA is a Thermocouple cables (IEC 60584-3) cable designation: K = Thermocouple type K: Fe / CuNi (positive / negative leg); CA = CA: compensating cable (C) with a substitute alloy, variant A; KCA = KCA: compensating cable, substitute alloy for a type K thermocouple, Fe / CuNi (substitute alloy, to +150 C; Helukabel NF C 42-324 calls Fe / CuNi KC 1). insulation limits by the material pair (Lapp T8): PVC -25 to +80 C, silicone -50 to +180 C, glass silk -50 to +200 C, FEP -100 to +205 C. IEC 60584-3; ANSI MC96.1 / ASTM E230 (US colour code).
