Features
- POWERHEAT Type PL-AHT is a power limiting heating cable that can be used for freeze protection or temperature maintenance of process temperatures in pipework and vessels.
- It can be cut-to-length at site and can replace mineral insulated (MI) cables for applications where the cut-to-length feature, or field fabricated heating cable is preferred.
- PL-AHT will be approved for use in non-hazardous and hazardous areas to world wide standards.
- The power output of PL-AHT reduces with increasing temperature due to the PTC effect of the heating resistor. This results in a lower startup current when compared with AHT/CW constant power cables.
- The installation of PL-AHT heating cable is quick and simple, and requires few special skills or tools. Termination and power connection components are all provided in convenient kits.
- PL-AHT is jacketed in a continuous aluminum extrusion for maximum mechanical strength.
