Self-Regulating Heating Cable: Freeze Protection or Process Temperature Maintenance

BSX TM
Self-Regulating Heating Cable Product Specifications
Application . . .
1
Freeze Protection or Process Temperature Maintenance
BSX self-regulating heating cables are designed to provide 2
freeze protection or process temperature maintenance to
metallic and nonmetallic piping, tanks and equipment.
3
The heat output of BSX cable varies in response to the
surrounding conditions along the entire length of a circuit.
Whenever the heat loss of the insulated pipe, tank or
equipment increases (as ambient temperature drops), the 4
heat output of the cable increases. Conversely, when the
heat loss decreases (as the ambient temperature rises or
product flows), the cable reacts by reducing its heat output.
This self-regulating feature allows BSX to be overlapped 5, 6
without temperature upset damage to the cable.
BSX cables are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassified)
areas and are certified to the ATEX directive for use in

boot for terminating the circuit before connecting to power..
End-of-Circuit Termination: All BSX cables require the use
of the ET-6 end cap and ET-60 overcap for terminating at
the end of the circuit.
Notes . . .
1. Cable may be energised at other voltages; contact Thermon for design assistance.
2. T-rating per internationally recognised testing agency guidelines.
3. Thermon heating cables are approved for the listed T-ratings using the stabilised
design method. This enables the cable to operate in hazardous areas without limit-
ing thermostats. The T-rating may be determined using CompuTrace® Electric Heat
Tracing Design Software or contact Thermon for design assistance.

Freeze Protection or Process Temperature Maintenance
RSX 15-2 self-regulating heating cable is designed for 1
applications where the Watt density requirements preclude
2
the use of the standard range of winterization cables. The
cable is ideally suited for freeze protection or process
temperature maintenance applications that have higher heat
3
losses but are not exposed to high temperatures (such as
steam cleaning).
The ends of RSX 15-2 must be properly terminated prior to 4
connecting the cable to power. Refer to the “Self-Regulating
Cables Systems Accessories” product specification sheet
(Form TEP0010U).

HPT TM
Power-Limiting Heating Cable Product Specifications
Application . . .
High performance HPT power-limiting heating cables are 1
designed specifically for process temperature maintenance
or freeze protection where high maintain temperatures or
high temperature exposure is required. HPT withstands the 2
temperature exposures associated with steam purging.
A coiled resistor alloy heating element (patent pending)
provides the power-limiting feature of HPT. This PTC 5
(Positive Temperature Coefficient) characteristic decreases
the cable’s power output as the heat-traced product
temperature increases and allows the cable to be over- 6
lapped during installation. The composite construction of
the heating element and fibre substrate, plus an additional
fibre cushion layer, provides an exceptionally durable high
7
performance heating cable.
HPT cables are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassified)

Power Connection: All HPT cables require a TBX-4L power
boot for terminating the circuit before connecting to power.. Hazardous (Classified) Locations
End-of-Circuit Termination: HPT cables with exposure

temperatures below 200°C require the use of the ET-8 end Standardisation
cap and TT-6 fluoropolymer tape strip for terminating at the
end of the circuit. HPT has additional hazardous area approvals
including:
HPT cables with exposure temperatures between 200°C
and 260°C require the HPEK-OJ end cap for terminating at
the end of the circuit.
