Self-Regulating Medium Temp Heating Cable 8-2CT

Chromalox SRM/E self-regulating heating cable provides safe, reliable heat tracing for process temperature maintenance and freeze protection of pipes, valves, tanks and similar applications. Constructed of industrial grade 16 AWG buss wire with metal braid and optional overjacketing, SRM/E ensures operating integrity in most hostile industrial environments. The 420°F (215°C) maximum exposure temperature rating allows steam cleaning of process equipment with up to 300 psig steam

NOTE: A single quantity purchase equals 1ft of cable. Adding multiple quantity of the same cable will add to the overall length of the product. For example: quantity of 10 = 10ft long cable.

Applications

• Self-Regulating, Energy Efficient
• For Use on Metallic Pipes Only
• Industrial Process Maintenance
• Industrial Freeze Protection Application
• Freeze Protection of Fire Protection System Piping

FEATURES

• Energy efficient, self-regulating SRM/E uses less energy when less heat is required.

• Easy to install, SRM/E can be cut to any length (up to max. circuit length) in the field.

• Field splices can be performed easily in minutes with no scrap or wasted cold sections.

• With lower installed cost than steam tracing, SRM/E features less maintenance expense and downtime.

• SRM/E can be overlapped without burnout, which simplifies heat tracing of in-line process equipment such as valves, elbows and pumps. Because SRM/E is self-regulating, overtemperature conditions are minimized.

• Chromalox termination, splice, tee and end seal kits reduce installation time.

CONSTRUCTIONS

• Twin 16 AWG Copper Buss Wire - Provide reliable electrical current capability


• Semiconductive Polymer Core Matrix - "Self-Regulating" competent of cable, its electrical resistance varies with temperature. As process temperature drops, the core's heat output increases; as process temperature rises, the heat output decreases


• High Temperature Fluoropolymer Jacket - Flame retardant, electrically insulates the matrix and provides corrosion resistance.


• Metallic Braid - Provides additional mechanical protection in any environment and a positive ground path


• High Temperature Fluoropolymer Overjacket - Corrosion resistant, flame retardant overjacket is highly effective in hostile, aqueous and chemically active environments. It also protects against abrasion and impact damage

WARNING - A ground fault protection device is required by NEC to minimize the danger of fire if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed. A minimum trip level of 30mA is recommended to minimize nuisance tripping
