FP parallel resistance constant watt heating cables are designed

 

 

to provide freeze protection or process temperature
maintenance to piping, tanks and equipment. The parallel
resistance configuration allows the cable to be cut to length
and terminated in the field with easy-to-use Thermon
supplied kits.
FP cables provide consistent and reliable heat outputs
regardless of circuit length. FP cables are not subject to
the inrush current associated with self-regulating heating
cables, therefore the need for over sizing power distribution
equipment is eliminated.
FP cables are approved for use in ordinary (nonclassified)
areas, hazardous (classified) areas and Zone 2 classified
areas.
