Trace Heating Cables | Process Temperature Maintenance Cable | Nelson Heat Trace CLT3-JT

Trace Heating

Nelson Heat Trace CLT self-regulating trace heating cables provide process temperature maintenance and frost protection to pipework, instrument lines, tanks and drums up to 85ºC. The Nelson Heat Trace CLT heater cable is available in power densities of 3, 5 and 8 watts per foot at 10ºC for both 120 and 240 VAC when used on insulated metallic pipes and vessels.

Nelson CLT Trace HEATing CABLE – Applications

• Freeze protection for water supply, drainage, fire protection, dust suppression, sprinkler and piping systems, both metallic and nonmetallic
• Maintaining fluid flow under low ambient temperatures
• Liquids piped during processing that require constant temperatures
• Roofs, gutters and downspouts prone to ice damming and dangerous icicles
• Foundation heating for cold storage
• Related Products and Accessories
• Connection kits for power connection, tee splices, splices and end seals
• Thermostatic controls
• Junction boxes, application tapes and warning signs
• Custom control, monitoring and power panels 

Nelson CLT – SPECIFICATION

Nelson Heat Trace Cable Part Number	Supply Voltage	Maximum Segment Length	Maximum Maintenance Temperature	Maximum Intermittent Exposure Temperature	Watts / M (Watts / ft)
CLT3-JT	120	90m (290ft)	65ºC / 150ºF	85ºC / 185ºF	10 (3)

• Nelson CLT3-JT Self-Regulating Trace Heating Cable is a parallel circuit, electric heater strip
• An irradiation cross-linked conductive polymer core material is extruded over multi-stranded, tin-plated, 18-gauge copper bus wires
• A conductive core can increase or decrease its heat output in response to changes in temperature
• Two jackets provide moisture resistance, extra dielectric strength and protection from damage due to impact or abrasion
• The thermoplastic, elastomer over jacket is extruded over the inner jacket
• A stranded copper braid covers the second jacket to provide a continuous ground path
• A standard option UV stabilized polyolefin over jacket is available to cover the braid for use in wet areas

➡ Nelson Heat Trace Heat Heating Cables provide frost protection to water pipework, hot water temperature maintenance, process temperature maintenance in industrial applications.
