Started a job running heat tape on a church today,Got a few runs out and wanted to terminate What I've got done before dark and the long weekend.Our supply house salesman got us "everything we need" for the job dropped off a owners manual for the easy heat ADKS series.That is more a residential use cable.I look for the cord ends with built in moisture and temperature sensors like I seen in the manual.Nothing got kits made to terminate in a box.Fine so I called the SH and was told that the easy heat Sr Trace cable is the best stuff ever doesn't need a t-stat,"Just Hook to the breaker and let her buck the cable it's self knows where it's hot and cold.":blink:Looking at this stuff it looks like shielded UF cable no senors resistors.So now that I'm home I see it's "self regulating"
Anyone know how this works?IF it's even true I really just don't want to wire it and let her run wild all year long like the SH says.Or maybe should I ask if they will sell me smart THHN then

This has a little more info but I don't think they want us to know exactly how it works. http://www.emersonindustrial.com/en...ating_cables/11001_095_r8_SR_prodinfo_web.pdf
