Operation
The system runs after the hermetic plug has been
connected to the mains. Self-regulating heating
cables are characterised by changeable heating
power depending on ambient temperature. The
lower the temperature, the higher the heating cable’s
power, and thus the amount of heat generated. Even
though the cables are self-regulating, they operate
also in ambient temperatures above 0°C and charge
certain amount of electric energy.
To eliminate electric energy consumption in ambient
temperatures above 0°C, disconnect the power
supply of a self-regulating heating cable.
