Engineered for reliable freeze protection and process temperature maintenance, our Medium Temperature Self-Regulating Heating Cable delivers precision thermal management in demanding industrial environments. This advanced heating solution automatically adjusts its heat output based on ambient conditions, eliminating overheating risks while ensuring consistent performance. With its robust construction and multiple jacket options, it provides versatile protection for pipes, tanks, and critical process equipment in sub-zero conditions.

The cable's intelligent self-regulating technology significantly reduces energy consumption compared to constant-wattage alternatives, offering substantial operational cost savings. Its parallel circuit design allows for custom-length installations without compromising safety or efficiency. Designed for industrial applications where temperature control is mission-critical, this heating cable maintains optimal viscosity of fluids and prevents costly freeze-related downtime across chemical plants, refineries, and water treatment facilities.

Conductor Material Tinned Copper Bus Wires

The PTC conductive core expands as temperatures drop, increasing electrical current flow and heat generation precisely where needed. When ambient temperatures rise, the core contracts to naturally reduce power output. This intrinsic safety feature prevents hot spots and allows overlapping installation without external controllers. Three specialized jacket materials provide application-specific protection:

  • FEP Jacket: Exceptional chemical resistance for harsh environments like petrochemical plants
  • PVC Jacket: General-purpose protection with UV resistance for outdoor installations
  • PE Jacket: Moisture-resistant option for water treatment and food processing areas

Installation flexibility is enhanced by the cable's cut-to-length capability and cold-lead connection options. Maintenance teams can field-terminate the cable at exact measurement points, reducing material waste and installation time. The tinned copper bus wires ensure corrosion resistance in humid environments, while the overall construction meets UL/CSA standards for electrical safety in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.

For process heating applications, this cable maintains consistent temperatures within ±2°F of setpoints for sensitive fluids. Its thermal responsiveness prevents wax formation in petroleum lines and maintains viscosity in chemical transfer systems. The energy-efficient design can reduce electricity consumption by up to 40% compared to constant-wattage systems during milder weather conditions.

With custom length options and technical support throughout installation, we ensure reliable freeze protection that reduces operational risks and maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this cable be installed on plastic pipes?

A: Yes, when used with our temperature controller and proper insulation. The self-regulating feature prevents overheating on low-temperature materials.

Q: What is the maximum circuit length for 120V installation?

A: Maximum circuit length is 350 feet for 120V systems. For longer runs, consider 240V configuration which supports up to 700 feet.

Q: Does it require thermal insulation over the cable?

A: Insulation is recommended to reduce heat loss and improve efficiency. Minimum R-value requirements depend on climate zones.

Q: Can damaged sections be repaired?

A: Damaged portions must be replaced using splice kits. Never attempt to repair the conductive core.

Q: What maintenance is required after installation?

A: Annual inspection of connections and insulation integrity is recommended. No routine maintenance of the cable itself is needed.
