Product details
nVent RAYCHEM ETL self-regulating trace heating cables provide frost protection to piped services in and around buildings. ETL automatically adjusts the heat output depending on local temperatures and can withstand intermittent exposure to 65°C (heater powered off). The polyolefin outer jacket (-CR) is suitable for mild inorganic solutions. The fluoropolymer outer jacket provides high chemical resistance against aggressive organics and corrosives
RAYCHEM ETL Features & Benefits

For more detailed information please request nVent RAYCHEM TraceCalc software design. nVent 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 - APPROVALS
