Self-regulating freeze protection cables

Self Regulating Freeze Protection Cable (FPC-SR) is specifically designed to provide reliable freeze protection for various domestic and commercial applications. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor water supply systems, sprinkler systems, cold storage facilities, and even solar panels.

The Self Regulating Freeze Protection Cable (FPC-SR) utilizes the same self-regulating technology as the Self Regulating Cables mentioned earlier. This means that it adjusts its heat output based on the cable core material temperature, ensuring efficient and effective freeze protection. As the temperature drops, the cable automatically increases its heat output to prevent freezing, and as the temperature rises, it decreases its heat output to conserve energy.

In addition to its freeze protection capabilities, the Self Regulating Freeze Protection Cable (FPC-SR) is also known for its durability and longevity. It is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures and moisture, without compromising its performance. This makes it a reliable solution for long-term freeze protection needs.

Furthermore, the Self Regulating Freeze Protection Cable (FPC-SR) is easy to install and maintain. Its flexibility allows for easy routing and installation in tight spaces, and its self-regulating feature eliminates the need for additional temperature control devices. This not only saves time and effort during installation but also reduces the overall cost of the system.

If you’re looking for a reliable and cost-effective solution to protect your water supply, sprinkler system, cold storage, or solar panels from freezing, the Self Regulating Freeze Protection Cable (FPC-SR) is the ideal choice. Its self-regulating technology and durability make it a dependable option for freeze protection in various applications.

Construction:

Freeze protection cable (FPC-SR) consists of a self-regulating parallel circuit of a semi-conductive heating core extruded over plated copper bus wires. Modified Polyolefin insulation over semi-conductive heating core provides electrical insulation, over which a metal braiding or Aluminum tape with earth drain wire metal sheathing is provided for earthing. An outer sheath of Modified Polyolefin / Fluoropolymer makes the heating cable robust and water proof.

It is available in predetermined lengths with cold tail – prefabricated & tested in a carefully controlled factory environment.
