About:

The VPL heating cable is a power-limiting type, meaning it can adjust its power output to provide more consistent heating over long lengths. It features a nickel-plated copper shield and a metal (often tin-copper) braid, all encapsulated in a durable fluoropolymer jacket. This construction is engineered for environments that require robust, reliable heating solutions.

Also Known As:

• VPL high-performance heating cable
• Power-limiting trace heating system
• Advanced fluoropolymer-insulated heating cable

Application:

• Process temperature maintenance in chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation facilities
• Freeze protection for critical industrial piping and instrumentation lines
• Long-line heating applications where consistent temperature maintenance is essential

Standards:

• UL and CSA certifications for use in North America
• Compliance with relevant NEC requirements for electrical heating systems
• Potential adherence to international standards like IEC for global applications

Construction:

• Power-limiting core that adjusts electrical resistance and heat output based on temperature
• Nickel-plated copper shield for corrosion resistance and electromagnetic interference protection
• Metal braid that offers additional mechanical strength and acts as a grounding path
• Fluoropolymer jacket providing chemical resistance and environmental protection

Features:

• Efficient system design: high power output at elevated temperatures reduces heating cable required, flat P-T curve results in lower T start up and power equipment costs, longer circuit lengths due to larger cross section conductors
• Maximum circuit length further increases when operating at higher voltages: reducing the number of circuits and power supply equipment
• 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
