Raychem 10BTV2-CT Self Regulating Trace Heating Cable

Electrical heat-tracing for frost protection without steam cleaning.

The nVent RAYCHEM BTV-family of self-regulating, parallel circuit heating cables is used for frost protection of pipes and vessels.

It can also be used for process temperature maintenance up to 65°C.

Pentair 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.
