Nelson™ Heat Trace 230V Type XLT Self-Regulating Heater Cable
Nelson™ Heat Trace™ 230V Type XLT Self-Regulating Heater Cable
Nelson™ Heat Trace XLT Series self-regulating heater cable is ideal for maintaining fluid flow over a wide range of operating temperatures.
The product is used for freeze protection of periodically steam (29 BAR) cleaned pipes and temperature maintenance for 232 °C or lower processes. XLT Series are 230 Volt heating cables designed for use in ordinary (unclassified) and hazardous (classified) locations. Typical applications include hydrocarbon and chemical product piping.

Features

  • Type XLT self-regulating heater cable is a parallel circuit electric heater strip. A conductive fluoropolymer core material is extruded over the multi-stranded, nickel-plated, 2.1mm² copper bus wires. A fluoropolymer jacket provides excellent dielec
  • Operating principle: The parallel bus wires apply voltage along the entire length of the heater cable. The conductive core provides a continuous parallel heating element permitting the cable to be cut to any length in the field with no dead or cold zones
