Heating cable introduction
Self regulating heating cable provide the most versatility in heat trace design and applications. Constructed of a Semi-conductive heater matrix extruded between parallel buswires, a self regulating cable adjusts its output to independently respond to ambient temperatures all along its length. As temperatures increase, the heater’s resistance increase which lower the output wattage. Conversely, as the temperature decrease, the resistance decreases and the cable produces more heat. So it is no need thermostat in some applications. It will never overheat or burnout even when wrapped by itself(overlapped). It can be cut to any length. So, it is a convenient, easy use and energy saving product.

Self regulating heat trace cable, which is also known as self limiting heat trace cable, heating cable, heat tracing cable, or heater cable.
CSI-ZBR is a medium temperature self regulating heating cable for fire fighting pipe and wet pipe sprinkler systems, which can be used for freeze protection or temperature maintenance in commercial field.
It also can be used for deicing heat tracing cable, self regulating gutter heat cable and self regulating roof heat cable in residential field.
CSI-ZBR is normally suited to metal / non-metal pipes.
It can be cut-to-length at site.
CSI-ZBR is approved for using in non-hazardous and hazardous areas.
Its self regulating heating element (PTC: Positive Temperature Coefficiment) improve safety and reliability.
CSI-ZBR will not overheat or burnout, even when wrapped by itself.
Its power output is self regulated in response to the pipe & ambient temperature.
CSI-ZBR can be manufactured by custom color and size.
Please use approved termination, splicing and power connection components with CSI-ZBR heat trace cable.
