Project Description

Low temperature self-regulating heating cable CABT/Ex

CABT/Ex low temperature self-regulating heating cable consist of a heating semiconductor plastic element which adapts its calorific power (W/m) on each point depending on the local temperature. This intrinsic feature of the semiconductor heating element allows in some cases to dispense of using a thermostatic controler (self-regulation).
They are reserved for temperature maintenance applications for pipes, tanks and other hydraulic systems located in hazardous area (ATEX – Group II2 GD).
Marking: CABT / Ex – Ex IIC T6 Gb – Ex tb IIIC T85 ° C Db – IP 66/67
Operating range: -50 ° C to +65 ° C

French manufacturing in accordance with the requirements of the European directive 2014/34 / EU and standards EN 60079-0, EN 60079-7, EN 60079-31, EN 60079-30.1.
They can be cut on the adjusted length directly on the job site.

Self regulating heating cables CABT/EX

APPLICATIONS

  • Freeze protection of pipes in hazardous area (ATEX)
  • Temperature maintenance until 35°C of thermical sensitive products when using control thermostats is difficult or not possible
Maximum temperature exposure (power ON-energized) : 65°C
Maximum temperature exposure (power OFF -de-energized) : 75°C
Maximum advised maintenance temperature : 35°C

MAIN BENEFITS

  • can be cut directly on the adjusted length on the site
  • allow derivation from a unique and single feed point
  • semiconductor heating element adapts its power locally
  • good flexibility allowing the tracing of hydraulic organs (valves, pumps, …)
  • allow overlaps during implementation (self-regulating)
  • maxi temp energized : 65 ° C (power ON)- maxi temp de-energized (power OFF) : 75°C
  • ATEX notification :TECHNITRACE : LCIE 18ATEXQ4004
  • ATEX type : LCIE 13ATEX3091X

OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE

Self-regulation at 65°C

Self regulating heating cables CABT/EX
The  diffusion of heat generated by our self regulating heating cable varies and depends on where the cable is situated and the cables contat temperature. 
Thermal power output determined by the manufacturer in compliance to standard EN62.395

MAIN FEATURES

  • tinned copper braid
  • fire retardant polyolefin overjacket (CABT/EX + CGp)
  • fluoropolymer FEP overjacket (CABT/EX + CGf)
  • for corrosive and chemically aggressive environments
  • voltage: 230 V / 240 V / 50 or 60 Hz (115 V optional)
  • thermal calibration: Max. rated current * 2
  • use C or D curve circuit breakers
  • possibility of a maximum current spike of 3 * In / 300ms
  • necessary use differential circuit breaker: 30 mA
  • maximum length / power point = approximately 110 m.
Dissipation curves are theoretical and solely provided for information purposes
