Data Sheet PX-F Series Self-Regulating Cable

Pipe Freeze Protection

General
Information

Technical Data

The Danfoss PX-F self-regulating heating cables
provide the solution to basic freeze protection
applications. The self -regulating Danfoss PX-F
series ensure maximum energy eciency by pro­ducing heat only when and where it is needed as it
adjusts the power output to the varying conditions
along the length of the pipe.

• Cable can be overlapped without creating hot
spots or causing a burn out

• Can be cut and spliced in the eld, simplifying
the installation process and reducing waste

• Rugged 16 AWG bus cable with longer runs

• Wide variety of wattages

• Limited ten year warranty

Available power outputs:

Cable Diameter: 0.45 x 0.216” (11.5 x 5.5 mm)
Rated voltage: 120V-277V
Minimum bending radius: 1” (25 mm) (radius to the inside of the tape)
Max. rated temperature: 150°F (65°C) Powered

Bus wire type: 16 AWG, (1.25 mm2), Tinned Copper
