HTD Heat Trace AutoWatt Xtra heating cables incorporate advanced self-regulating technology with PFA insulating materials, providing a high-temperature solution for industrial freeze protection and process temperature maintenance. These cables deliver power ratings up to 30 watts per foot, making them particularly suitable for large diameter pipes with high heat loss requirements.

Technical Construction

The heating cable features 16 AWG nickel-coated bus wires and a high-temperature PFA-based self-regulating heating matrix. A modified fluoropolymer insulating jacket surrounds the core, with tinned copper overbraid providing mechanical protection and grounding. An optional corrosion-resistant fluoropolymer overjacket is available for demanding chemical environments. Operating voltage options include 120V and 240V configurations.

Installation Benefits

AutoWatt Xtra cables may be cut to length and terminated on site, allowing installers to use only what is needed while saving extra cable for future installations. Installation requires no special tools, knowledge, or skills, significantly reducing labor costs and installation time.
