TTS™ and KSR™ Self-Regulating Heating Cables consist of a conductive-polymer heating matrix extruded between
two parallel copper bus conductors. Heat is generated in the conductive polymer matrix when energized. The bus
conductors provide uniform voltage across the heating matrix by providing current down the entire length of the
cable. The conductive polymer matrix is irradiated with an electron beam to provide cross-linking and “lock in”
performance properties.
As the temperature increases, the electrical paths in the carbon-polymer heating matrix become longer and the
resistance of the heating element increases. This causes the heat output of the cable to decrease. As the temperature of
the heating matrix increases, the resistance of the heating matrix increases. This is a self-regulating effect.
TTS™ and KSR™ Self-Regulating Heating Cables can adjust their output to the surrounding temperature down the cable
length. This adaptability to individual thermal conditions provides more heat where needed and can also reduce energy
consumption as the ambient temperature increases, reducing heating costs.
