Product Information

Specification

About:

This cable is designed to adjust its heat output automatically in response to the ambient temperature changes surrounding the cable. This functionality is crucial for energy efficiency, as it allows the cable to reduce power consumption when less heat is needed, avoiding overheating and energy wastage.

Also Known As:

• Heating cable
• Trace heating cable
• Self-limiting heating cable

Application:

• Pipe Freeze Protection: Prevents freezing of water in pipes, particularly in cold environments or unheated spaces.
• Process Temperature Maintenance: Maintains specific temperatures for industrial processes, ensuring materials or chemicals are kept at optimal conditions.
• Roof and Gutter De-icing: Prevents ice dam formation on roofs and ensures gutters and downspouts are clear of ice.
• Floor Heating: Can be used for underfloor heating applications to provide comfortable ambient temperatures.

Standards:

• UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listing for safety standards.
• CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification.
• CE marking indicating compliance with EU safety, health, and environmental requirements.

Construction:

• Inner Heating Core: Self-regulating conductive polymer matrix that adjusts heat output based on temperature.
• Conductive Layer: Typically a metal layer that helps distribute heat uniformly.
• Insulation Layer: Electrical insulation that also provides environmental protection.
• Outer Jacket: Protects against physical damage and environmental exposure.
• Nickel-Plated Copper Braid: Offers additional mechanical protection, grounding, and can help in electromagnetic shielding.

Features:

• Simplified design for hazardous areas: unconditional T4 class
• Fast installation: cut-to-length, multiple overlaps allowed, meter markings, user-friendly connections kits
• Safe and efficient in operation: no overheating, uniform pipe temperatures, energy saving technology
• Reliable during long life: 10 year product warranty available, maintenance free
