XTV

Self-regulating heating cable

HEATING CABLE CONSTRUCTION

Electrical heat-tracing for process temperature maintenance

applications up to 121°C which may be subject to steam cleaning.
The nVent RAYCHEM XTV family of self-regulating, parallel
circuit heating cables is used for process temperature
maintenance of pipes and vessels.
It can also be used for frost protection of large pipes and for
applications requiring high temperature exposure capability.

The above numbers are for circuit length estimation only. For more detailed information please use the nVent TraceCalc software
or Contact your local nVent representative. nVent requires the use of a 30 mA residual current device to provide maximum safety
and protection from fire. Where design results in higher leakage current, the preferred trip level for adjustable devices is 30 mA above
any inherent capacitive leakage characteristic of the heater as specified by the trace heater supplier or alternatively, the next common
available trip level for non adjustable devices, with a maximum of 300 mA. All safety aspects need to be proven.
