Project Description

PCMT 30 – PCMT 30+C CONSTANT POWER HEATING CABLES

PCMT heating cables consist of heating modules with a constant heat output, regardless of the ambient temperature. These cables, which have a very flexible silicone sheath, can be cut to length on site and can be branched from a single power supply point (energy present throughout the heating cable).

PCM 30+C

Principle

PCMT heating cables are made up of contact points every 60 cm: heating starts from the first contact point. Connection is made on one side of the heating cable, to the +/- terminals of the power cable.

Do not use on plastic pipes (multi-layer, PVC, etc.).
Strictly follow the instructions for use.
Warranty: 120°C maximum when energized / -70 to 200°C when de-energized.

Features

  • Power: 30 W/m (± 5 %)
  • Power supply: 230 V
  • Maximum temperature: 120°C
  • Temperature off : -70° à 200° C
  • Maximum length of a circuit: 50 m
  • Dimensions: 5.75 x 7.5 mm (± 0,2 mm)
  • Flexible sheath
  • Cable: nickel-chromium or nickel-copper
  • Cross-section: 2 x 0.75 mm²
  • Conductor insulation: silicone elastomer
  • Contact points: 0.6 m
  • Certification: CE
  • Cut to length on site

Applications

The PCMT cable is primarily intended for use in industrial refrigeration and surface heating applications:

> Temperature maintenance on pipes (excluding plastic)
> Heating cold room door seals
> Anti-condensation

Installation instructions

For optimal efficiency and safe installation, please follow the TECHNITRACE instructions.

Benefits

  • No thermal aging of the heating element (alloy)
  • No current peaks at startup, unlike other technologies, allowing for good electrical protection
  • Integrated cold lead due to the technology used
  • Can be cut to length on site according to needs (modules)
  • Allows branch connections and tapping from a single power supply point (power present along the entire length of the cable)
  • Very flexible implementation
  • Manufactured as standard at 230 V

Principle of operation

heating resistors of fixed length
and constant heating power

General characteristics

  • Thermal protection: nominal current * 1.25
  • Earth leakage protection: 30 mA required
  • Maximum circuit length: 50 m or 1500 W
  • Maximum exposure: 120°C
  • Maximum exposure when switched off: -70 to 200°C
