up to 250 °C / 482 °F

ELP-PFA NA

Constant wattage resistance wire trace heaters

eltherm’s parallel constant wattage trace heaters offer superior flexibility and provide consistent power output for freeze protection and temperature maintenance of piping, vessel and equipment heating.

ELP trace heaters provide constant heating output independent from the chosen maintain temperature with virtually no in-rush current, reducing the requirement for oversized power distribution circuitry.

No separate connection (cold lead) is required and the input can be single sided. It is quick and easy to install, saving time and reducing overall assembly costs. The ELP-PFA series trace heaters are available in a wide variety of outputs and various voltages for high power requirements in industrial process environments or low power applications requiring longer circuit lengths.

High-grade fluoropolymer insulation and outer jacket materials offer highest chemical resistance and high temperature operation.
