Specification

About:

This heating cable is engineered to provide reliable and efficient heat tracing and freeze protection solutions. Its self-regulating technology allows the cable to adjust its power output in response to ambient temperature changes, ensuring optimal energy use and preventing overheating.

Also Known As:

• Self-regulating heating cable
• Nickel-plated copper braid heating cable
• Trace heating cable
• Freeze protection cable

Application:

• Piping Systems: Prevents freezing in pipes, ensuring continuous flow and protection against burst pipes.
• Roof and Gutter: Helps in de-icing and preventing ice dams on roofs and in gutters.
• Outdoor Areas: Provides freeze protection for ramps, walkways, and emergency exit pathways.
• Industrial Processes: Maintains process temperatures or provides frost protection in industrial applications.

Standards:

• IEEE 515 Standard for the Testing, Design, Installation, and Maintenance of Electrical Resistance Heat Tracing
• UL standards for safety and performance
• Applicable IEC standards for self-regulating heating cables

Construction:

• Core: Self-regulating conductive polymer matrix adjusts heat output based on ambient temperature.
• Conductive Layers: Nickel-plated copper braid provides a uniform heat distribution and acts as a ground path.
• Outer Jacket: The outer protective jacket (typically fluoropolymer or thermoplastic) provides environmental protection and electrical insulation.
• Tinned Copper Braid: An additional layer for mechanical protection and electromagnetic shielding.

Features:

• Simple to design
• Easy to install: cut to length, meter marks, simple fast RayClic connections
• Safe and efficient in operation: no overheating, even when crossed, advanced energy saving controls
• Reliable during long life: 10 year extended product warranty available, maintenance free
• GM-2XT for bitumen roofs
