Self-regulating heating cable

TheSelf-regulating heating cables reliably protects water pipes from freezing in the event of frost. The heating output adjusts automatically and continuously to the temperature of the pipework: max. 12 W/m at 0 °C, 9 W/m at 10 °C.

Technical data

  • 230 V connection
  • Maximum heat output: 12 W/m (at 0 °C)
  • RCD 30 mA required on site
  • Degree of protection IP 54 (splash-proof)
  • Can be shortened and lengthened
  • Multiple branches possible
  • Maximum section length: 100 m

Functionality

The heating cable consists of two electric cables surrounded by a polymer (insulating plastic) with graphite particles:

  • Cold: Polymer contracts, graphite particles come into contact, the heating tape becomes warm.
  • Warm: Polymer expands, no contact between the graphite particles, the heating tape does not heat up.

Product note

The length of this heating cable can be adjusted as required.

Practical tip

Protect yourWater and heating pipes against browsing! For this we recommend ourPipe protection models 380108 and 380119.

If heating cables are used, the water pipes should be suitable for hot water. For plastic pipes, ourAluminium adhesive tape (Ref. 351181) for optimum heat distribution. This should be applied to the plastic pipe before laying the heating cable.
