USES OF HEATING CABLES
Civil uses:
- frost protection for gutters and roofs, prevents snow and ice from depositing and blocking the regular drainage of water;
- heating of pipes, avoiding the breakage of the pipe or its malfunction due to ice inside;
- heating ramps, garages, and driveways, melting snow and ice that would otherwise make them slippery and impassable.
Industrial uses:
- industrial tank heating: suitable for use in environments where corrosive substances are used;
- frost protection of pipes used in industrial plants.

SELF-REGULATING CABLES: TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Self-regulating cables are the most commonly used in outdoor applications, such as for heating ramps, gutters, and roofs. Depending on the outside temperature, the cable activates and adjusts its power and temperature to prevent ice or snow formation.
They activate automatically, and the power delivered by the cable varies based on the outside temperature. Compared to constant-power cables, they offer more precise temperature regulation and reduce the risk of overheating, but they operate within a more limited outside temperature range.
Operating temperature: -35/-20°C – 60/100°C
Why choose a self-regulating cable? These are the advantages of using a self-regulating heating cable:
- no risk of overheating;
- precise temperature regulation;
- ideal for outdoors during the winter.
CONSTANT TEMPERATURE CABLES: SPECIFICATIONS AND CONTEXTS OF USE
Constant temperature cables are able to maintain a pre-set temperature, without being affected by the external environment.
They are primarily used in industrial settings for heating tanks, basins, and cisterns. Compared to self-regulating cables, constant-temperature cables have a wider operating temperature range. Operating temperature range: -60°C – 200°C
Why use a constant-temperature heating cable? Here are all the advantages:
- more robust and resistant;
- operation even at high temperatures;
- ideal for industrial use.
CABLES FOR GUTTERS, RAMPS AND PIPES
In the home, heating cables are mainly used to protect pipes, gutters, or ramps from extreme cold and snow accumulation.
In these contexts, the optimal cables are self-regulating ones, activating only when winter temperatures reach a certain limit to prevent breakages or ice formation.
HEATING CABLES IN INDUSTRIAL USE
In industrial processes, heating cables are mainly used to maintain fluids contained in tanks and reservoirs at a constant temperature.
Another use is to protect pipes and machinery involved in production from extreme temperatures.
Heating cables are coated in thermoplastic material, making them ideal for industrial environments where corrosive substances are used. Mineral-insulated cables are among the most commonly used in industrial environments.
