Description
Description
SOLCO IPSR Self-Regulating Heating Cable – 13W/m
The SOLCO IPSR Self-Regulating Heating Cable is designed for reliable frost protection and temperature maintenance in commercial building services.
Delivering 13W/m at 10°C, this compact 230V heating cable is particularly suited to small-bore pipework and fire sprinkler systems, automatically adjusting its heat output as temperatures change.
How Does SOLCO IPSR Trace Heating Work?
The IPSR cable incorporates self-regulating heating technology that responds to changes in temperature along the cable.
When pipe temperatures decrease, the cable increases its heat output. As temperatures rise, the electrical resistance within the heating element increases, reducing the amount of heat generated.
This allows individual sections of the cable to respond independently to their local operating conditions, helping provide effective frost protection without delivering a constant fixed heat output.
Key Features and Benefits
Automatically varies heat output in response to temperature changes along the cable.
Designed to resist burning or overheating when overlapped under specified operating conditions.
Can be cut to suit installation requirements, subject to maximum circuit lengths and appropriate electrical termination.
Smooth power-switching characteristics help improve operating efficiency and cable service life.
Approximately 8.3mm x 6.0mm, making the cable suitable for smaller pipework applications.
Designed for straightforward electrical connections and splicing with suitable accessories.
Typical Applications
Frost protection for smaller diameter water pipes within commercial and building-services installations.
Freeze protection for suitable sprinkler pipework, where compatibility and system design requirements have been confirmed.
Temperature maintenance and frost protection for suitable exposed or vulnerable pipework.

Installation and System Requirements
SOLCO IPSR should be installed as part of a properly designed trace heating system, with the correct electrical protection, accessories and pipe insulation.
- Calculate the required cable output based on pipe size, insulation thickness and minimum ambient temperature.
- Select compatible power connections, end seals, junction boxes and fixing materials.
- Use suitable temperature controllers where required by the installation design.
- Install appropriate thermal insulation over the completed trace heating cable.
- Confirm maximum circuit lengths and circuit breaker requirements using SOLCO's technical documentation.
Important: Installation must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable electrical regulations. Verify sprinkler pipe compatibility before specifying the cable.
