Parallel Resistance Heating Cable

One of the key benefits of parallel heating cables self regulating or constant wattage is the ability to cut the cable to length from a drum on site without the need to consider the resistance of the wire itself.

Parallel resistance heating cable. The following tests are type test of electrical power cable. Fp parallel resistance constant watt heating cables are de signed to provide freeze protection or process temperature maintenance to piping tanks and equipment. Constant power output per meter. Heating cables type elsr n self regulating heating cable up to 80 c 8 9.

Apart from the connections some of these parallel electrical heating cables can be immersed into fluids. Single end power input. It has an aluminium outer. We produced the world s first parallel resistance cut to length heating cable in 1978.

The parallel resistance configuration allows the cable to be cut to length and terminated in the field with easy to use thermon supplied kits. What are self regulating or power limiting heating cables. Measure the resistance of each cable individually and investigate deviations in resistance between parallel conductors. Can be cut off the roll.

Constant wattage heat tracing cables advantages. 2 02 self regulating parallel heating cables table of contents introduction 3 5 application options 6 7 1. Constant wattage heating cables as their name suggests are designed to deliver the same power output irrespective of pipe temperature. Verify uniform resistance of parallel conductors using a low resistance ohmmeter.
