Applications: TEK series resistance heating
cables are used where circuit lengths exceed the limitations of parallel resistance
heating cables. TEK cables can provide tracing for pipes up to 12,000 feet long with one
power supply point. Available with two and three conductors, TEK circuits can be arranged
in a variety of configurations.
Construction:
Nickel Plated Copper Bus Wires (16 AWG)
Fluoropolymer Insulation
Fluoropolymer Insulating Jacket
Nickel-Copper braid
Options:
Fluoropolymer over jacket (OJ), includes nickel-copper
braid. Increases cable durability and provides additional protection for braid in
applications where corrosive chemical solutions or vapors may be present.

Notes:
Watt density limitations are correlated to
maintenance temperatures.
Definition as stated in IEEE 515 1989:
Specific voltage depends on circuit length and design conditions.
