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-GBR is a high temperature self regulating heating cable for pipes and vessels, which can be used for freeze protection or process temperature maintenance in industrail field.

  • It is normally suited to high temperature and corrosive environments.

  • CSI-GBR can be cut-to-length at site.

  • It is approved for using in non-hazardous and hazardous areas.

  • Its self regulating heating element (PTC: Positive Temperature Coefficiment) improve safety and reliability.

  • CSI-GBR will not overheat or burnout, even when wrapped by itself.

  • Its power output is self regulated in response to the pipe & ambient temperature.

  • CSI-GBR can be manufactured by custom color and size.

  • Please use approved termination, splicing and power connection components with CSI- GBR heat trace cable.
