Abstract: An electrical heating cable which limits power output once an established temperature limit is reached. The cable includes a high-resistance element and a temperature-sensitive variable resistance element electrically connected in series between two electrical conductors otherwise insulated from each other by insulating material. The temperature-sensitive resistance undergoes a substantial positive increase in resistivity when the temperature of the cable nears the established temperature limit. The increase in resistivity substantially reduces the heat-generating current flowing in the cable to limit the power output.

Abstract: An electrical heating cable which limits power output once an established temperature limit is reached. The cable includes heating elements in the form of temperature-sensitive variable resistance elements electrically connected in parallel between two supply bases at spaced positions along the length of the buses. The heating elements not only serve to generate heat for heating but also undergo a substantial positive increase in resistivity when the temperature of the cable nears the established temperature limit. The increase in resistivity substantially reduces the heat-generating current in the cable to limit the power output to within established heat limits.
