Self-Regulating Heating Cable BTCe

Self-Regulating Heating Cable BTCe

Application Areas

  • Temperature maintenance or freeze protection of pipelines and vessels in non-hazardous and ex-hazardous areas
BTCe is an industrial-grade self-regulating heating cable (self-limiting parallel trace heater) that can be used for temperature maintenance or freeze protection of pipelines and vessels. It can be used in nonhazardous and ex-hazardous areas. Comply with the requirements of IEC/IEFF 60079-30-1-2017 and IEC 60079-0:2018.

BTCe series is an upgrade version of BTC heating cables but with a higher maximum continuous operation temperature – up to +150 °C.

The power output adjusts automatically in response to the ambient temperature. Due to its self-regulating characteristics it will not overheat even when the cable is overlapped. This guarantees maximum safety and reliability. Installation of BTCe heating cable is quick and simple and requires no special skills or tools. Thanks to its parallel construction the heating cable can be fitted on site to exact length without any complicated design calculations.
