The Thermon TEK Constant-Watt Industrial Heating Cable stands as a reliable and efficient solution for long-line temperature maintenance or freeze protection applications, particularly when circuit lengths surpass the limitations of parallel resistance heating cables. Offering exceptional versatility, TEK cables can energize circuit lengths of up to 12,000 feet (3,658 m) from a single power supply point, making them ideal for extended installations.

Distinguishing itself through series circuitry, TEK ensures a consistent watt-per-foot power output along the entire length of the cable. This eliminates the concerns associated with voltage drop that are often encountered in parallel tracer constructions. The result is a uniform and reliable heat distribution, providing effective temperature maintenance or freeze protection across the entire length of the application.

TEK cables are approved for use in a variety of environments, including ordinary (nonclassified) and hazardous (classified) areas. This broad approval underscores the cable’s adherence to stringent safety standards, making it a trusted choice for applications in diverse industrial settings.

In summary, the TEK Constant-Watt Industrial Heating Cable is a high-performance solution designed to meet the demands of long-line temperature maintenance or freeze protection, providing consistent power output and ensuring reliable heat distribution without the challenges associated with voltage drop.

TEK Industrial Heating Cable Construction

  1. Heating conductors (2 or 3)
  2. Fluoropolymer dielectric Insulation
  3. Fluoropolymer pairing jacket
  4. Nickel-plated copper braid
  5. Fluoropolymer overjacket provides additional protection for cable and braid where exposure to chemicals or corrosives is expected.
