Description

A temperature-dependant resistive element between two parallel copper conductors regulates and limits the heat output of the heating cable. This output regulation is carried out automatically along the entire length of the heating cable according to the prevailing ambient temperature. As the ambient temperature rises, the heat output of the cable is reduced. This self-limiting property prevents overheating. The heating tape shall not be mounted crossed or overlapped to keep in the temperature class. The heating tape shall not be in operation over the maximum work-piece temperature to ensure the temperature class. A safety temperature limiter is required.

Thanks to the parallel power supply the heating cable can be cut to any required length. This feature considerably simplifies project planning and installation. The heating cable is cut and terminated in accordance with the local requirements directly on the construction site. In cases where the cable may become damaged, it is not necessary to replace the whole circuit but only the affected part. BARTEC MSB is available in different versions and with different power outputs.
