Raychem BTV Heating Cable

Raychem heating cable ajust its output according to temperature Process Temperature Maintenance Pipe Freeze Protection Tank

BTV Self-regulating heating cables

Electrical freeze protection for both non-hazardous and hazardous locations.

The BTV family of self-regulating heating cables provides the solution to freeze-protection and process-temperature maintenance applications.BTV heating cables maintain process temperatures up to 150F and can withstand intermittent exposure to temperatures up to 185F.The heating cables are configured for use in nonhazardous and hazardous locations,including areas where corrosives may be present.

Raychem BTV cables meet the requirements of the U.S. National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical Code.

.Heating cable construction:

1.Nickel-plated copper bus wire

2.Self-regulating conductive core

3.Modified polyolefin inner jacket

4.Tinned-copper braid

5.Modified polyolefin outer jacket(-CR) or fluoropolymer outer jacket (-CT)

Application:

WARING:Fire and Shock Hazard

Raychem heat-tracing systems must be installed correctly to ensure proper operation and to prevent shock and fire.Read these important warnings and carefully follow all the installation instructions.To minimize the danger of fire from sustained electrical arcing if the heating cable is damaged or improperly installed,and to comply with Tyco Thermal Controls requirements,agency certifications,and the national electrical codes,ground-fault equipment protection must be used on each heating cable branch circuit.Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit breakers.Approvals and performance of the heat-tracing systems are based on the use of Tyco Thermal Controls specified parts only.Do not substitute parts or use vinlyl electrical tape.Bus wires will short if they contact each other.Keep bus wires separated.Components and cable ends must be kept dry before and during installationThe black heating cable core and fibers are conductive and can short.They must be properly insulated and kept dry.Damaged bus wires can overheat or short.Do not break bus wire stands when preparing the cable for connection.
