Description
Description
SOLCO MSR Self-Regulating Trace Heating Cable
The SOLCO MSR Self-Regulating Heating Cable is designed for frost protection and medium to high temperature maintenance in commercial pipework and industrial process applications.
Available in 20W/m, 24W/m, 30W/m and 40W/m options from Insulation & More, the MSR range combines self-regulating technology with a maximum powered-on maintain temperature of 80°C. The CP outer jacket is manufactured from flame-retardant polyolefin for suitable non-hazardous environments.
Available MSR Heating Cable Options
Choose the required cable output using the product variant selector above. All four options use the CP flame-retardant polyolefin outer jacket and are intended for suitably designed 230V trace heating installations.
The correct output must be selected using the required maintain temperature, pipe dimensions, insulation thickness and design ambient temperature. Higher wattage does not automatically mean a more suitable cable for every installation.
How SOLCO MSR Self-Regulating Cable Works
SOLCO MSR heating cable uses a conductive polymer heating element that changes its electrical resistance in response to temperature.
As the surrounding temperature falls, the cable increases its heat output. As the temperature rises, its heat output reduces automatically.
Individual cable sections respond independently to their local conditions, providing variable heat output along the installation.
Unlike a constant-wattage heating cable, MSR adjusts its thermal performance automatically. Appropriate system temperature control and electrical protection must still be provided.
Key Features and Benefits
Automatically adjusts its heat output in response to local temperature conditions.
Available in 20, 24, 30 and 40W/m options for differing project heat requirements.
Designed to resist burning or overheating when overlapped under specified conditions.
Cable can be cut to suit pipework runs, subject to circuit design limitations and correct termination.
Suitable for properly designed applications requiring temperatures up to 80°C while powered.
Smooth switching characteristics contribute to operating efficiency and cable longevity.
Polyolefin outer jacket suitable for specified exposure to aqueous inorganic chemicals.
Designed for power connection and splicing using suitable manufacturer-compatible installation accessories.
Typical Applications
Frost protection for suitable water pipelines exposed to low ambient temperatures.
Temperature maintenance for compatible commercial pipework and mechanical service installations.
Temperature maintenance in suitable petrochemical and gas plant installations classified as non-hazardous.

What Does the CP Jacket Mean?
The CP suffix identifies the flame-retardant polyolefin outer jacket.
SOLCO specifies this jacket for exposure to aqueous inorganic chemicals. Applications involving organic chemicals, solvents or more corrosive environments may require the manufacturer's alternative CF fluoropolymer jacket.
Always verify cable jacket compatibility against actual site conditions before ordering.
Installation and Cable Selection
The required MSR cable output and circuit configuration should be determined using the complete installation requirements.
- Check the pipe diameter, material and installation environment.
- Calculate the required maintaining temperature and pipework heat loss.
- Confirm the minimum ambient and maximum operating temperatures.
- Specify suitable insulation thickness and external cladding where required.
- Select compatible thermostats, power connections, end seals, junction boxes and fixing accessories.
- Verify maximum circuit lengths, start-up temperatures and breaker selection against the manufacturer's technical information.
Installation Note: Electrical installation must be completed by suitably qualified personnel in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable regulations.
