THERMON . . . The Heat Tracing Specialists ® www.thermon.com BSX TM Self-Regulating Heating Cable Product Specifications Application . . . 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. 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. 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. Ratings . . .

A coiled resistor alloy heating element (patent pending)provides the power-limiting feature of HPT. This PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient) characteristic decreasesthe cable’s power output as the heat-traced producttemperature increases and allows the cable to be over-lapped during installation. The composite construction ofthe heating element and fibre substrate, plus an additionalfibre cushion layer, provides an exceptionally durable highperformance heating cable.

TESH TM
Series Constant Watt Heating Cable Product Specifications
Application . . .
Long Line Temperature Maintenance or Freeze ProtectionTESH series resistance constant Watt heating cables areused where circuit lengths exceed the limitations of parallelresistance heating cables. TESH withstands the temperatureexposures associated with steam purging.
The series circuitry of TESH provides consistent Watt-per-metre power output along the entire length of the cable withno voltage drop. A glassceramic tape layer adds additionalprotection to the heating cable and a fluoropolymeroverjacket provides chemical resistance while maintainingmaximum flexibility. The construction of the cable meets the7 Joule impact test per EN50019.
TESH cables are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassi-fied) areas and Catagories 2 and 3 ATEX classified areas.

Stabilised Design . . .
The Watt density limitation for TESH cables is directlyrelated to the desired maintain temperature. Thermon isable to ensure the T-rating based on a stabilised design thatenables series constant Watt heating cables to operate inhazardous areas without limiting thermostats. TESH cableoutput and T-rating are dependent upon supply voltage,cable resistance, temperature conditions as well as addi-tional variables. Contact Thermon for design assistance.
Basic Accessories3 . . .
Power Connection: TESH cables typically require nonheat-ing terminations at each end of the circuit before connect-ing to power. Contact Thermon for complete information.
Notes . . .
1. T-rating per internationally recognised testing agency guidelines.
2. Thermon heating cables are approved for the listed T-ratings using the stabiliseddesign method. This enables the cable to operate in hazardous areas withoutlimiting thermostats. The T-rating may be determined using CompuTrace® ElectricHeat Tracing Design Software or contact Thermon for design assistance.

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