1
Freeze Protection or Process Temperature Maintenance
BSX self-regulating heating cables are designed to provide
freeze protection or process temperature maintenance to
metallic and nonmetallic piping, tanks and equipment.
2
3
The heat output of BSX cable varies in response to the
surrounding conditions along the entire length of a circuit.
Whenever the heat loss of the insulated pipe, tank or
equipment increases (as ambient temperature drops), the
heat output of the cable increases. Conversely, when the
heat loss decreases (as the ambient temperature rises or
product flows), the cable reacts by reducing its heat output.
This self-regulating feature allows BSX to be overlapped
without temperature upset damage to the cable.
4
5, 6
BSX cables are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassified)
areas and are certified to the ATEX directive for use in
Category 2 and 3 (Zone 1 and 2) classified areas.

End-of-Circuit Termination: All BSX cables require the use
of the ET-6 end cap and ET-60 overcap for terminating at
the end of the circuit.

2. T-rating per internationally recognised testing agency guidelines.
3. Thermon heating cables are approved for the listed T-ratings using the stabilised
design method. This enables the cable to operate in hazardous areas without limiting thermostats. The T-rating may be determined using CompuTrace® Electric Heat

1. Maximum circuit lengths shown are based on an instantaneous trip current characteristic per IEC 60898 at the referenced start-up temperature and a 10°C maintenance temperature. For maximum circuit lengths with other trip current
characteristics contact Thermon.
2. While a heat tracing system is generally designed to keep the contents of a pipe at
the desired maintain temperature, the cable may be energized at lower temperatures.
For design data with lower start-up temperatures than represented above contact
Thermon for design assistance.
3. The maximum circuit length is for one continuous length of cable, not the sum of
segments of cable. Refer to CompuTrace® design software or contact Thermon for
current loading of segments.

High performance HPT power-limiting heating cables are
designed specifically for process temperature maintenance

A coiled resistor alloy heating element (patent pending)
provides the power-limiting feature of HPT. This PTC
(Positive Temperature Coefficient) characteristic decreases
the cable’s power output as the heat-traced product
temperature increases and allows the cable to be overlapped during installation. The composite construction of
the heating element and fibre substrate, plus an additional
fibre cushion layer, provides an exceptionally durable high
performance heating cable.

Maximum circuit lengths for TESH heating cables will be a
function of cable resistance, circuit length and operating
voltage. Circuit length, breaker sizing and earth-fault
protection should be based on applicable local codes.
Earth-fault protection of equipment should be provided for
each branch circuit supplying electric heating equipment.
Note . . .
1. Longer circuit lengths are possible based on earth-fault protection with higher earthfault ratings; contact Thermon.
