- Thermon’s unique and proven Monolithic Co-Extrusion (MCE) technology, offering improved life expectancy and reliability over the competition.
- Identical T-Ratings to our lower voltage HTSX™ offerings, ensuring the same safe operation in hazardous areas.
- Enhanced Safety and Easier Installation compared with other high voltage and extended circuit length heat trace technologies.
Maintaining inherent safety
Thermon's new 400 & 480 Vac capability for HTSX™ has increased the voltage rating
Thermon’s team of engineers and scientists pioneered the world’s first MCE self-regulating heat trace in 1997. As they have charted the path forward, significant investments in materials science, product design, and processing capabilities enabled the creation of our renowned HTSX™, VSX-HT™, and USX™ trace heaters.
Thermon's new 400 & 480 Vac capability for HTSX™ has increased the voltage rating and circuit length, while maintaining the inherent safety, reliability, low cost of ownership, and ease of installation that Thermon HTSX™is known for.
Available in three nominal power outputs of 10, 15, and 20 W/ft at 480 Vac and 24, 40, and 57 W/m at 400 Vac, this new high voltage option features T-Ratings of T3 (for 10 & 15 W/ft) and T2C (for 20 W/ft). The three high voltage options can be energized with 380 to 480 Vac, complementing the existing six power output options that are available for both 100-120 Vac and 200-277 Vac.
