ECiceguard 18 Ready-made
The ECiceguard is readymade self-limiting parallel heating cable that is used for ice and
snow melting on roofs, in gutters and downpipes (UV-resistant).
ECiceguard heating cables should not be in direct contact with bitumen.
The self-limiting capability of the cable ensures that the output of the cable increase or
decrease according to ambient temperature.
The heating cable is flexible and easy to install as it can be cut to length at site and
installed directly on to the roof and gutter system.
All self-limiting heating cables must be over-temperature protected by a thermostat,
as the output will decrease, but never be zero, and be protected by a RCD with a
maximum trip current of 30 mA.
