LBTV
Self-regulating heating cables
Electrical freeze protection for long
pipelines in both nonhazardous and
hazardous (classified) locations
The LBTV self-regulating heating cables provide freeze protection and low-temperature
maintenance for longline applications. The
LBTV heating cables maintain process
temperatures up to 150°F (65°C) and can
withstand intermittent exposure to temperatures up to 185°F (85°C).
The cables are configured for use in nonhazardous and hazardous (classified) locations,
including areas where corrosives may be
present.
The LBTV heating cables provide long circuit
length capability. They can be used for continuous circuit lengths up to 1125 feet
powered from a single source. LBTV cables
are especially well suited for tracing long
pipelines containing temperature-sensitive
fluids or where high reliability is required.
Raychem® LBTV cables meet the requirements of the U.S. National Electrical Code
and the Canadian Electrical Code. For additional information, contact your Tyco
Thermal Controls representative or call Tyco
Thermal Controls at (800) 545-6258.

Note: Tyco Thermal Controls and national electrical codes require both ground-fault protection of equipment and a grounded metallic covering on all heating
cables. Following are some of the ground-fault breakers that satisfy this equipment protection requirement: Square D Type QOB-EPD or QO-EPD;
Raychem/Square D Type GFPD EHB-EPD (277 Vac); Cutler Hammer (Westinghouse) Type QBGFEP.
