Description
SOLCO SmSR1002-CX Self-Regulating Snow Melting Heating Cable – 100W/m
The SOLCO SmSR1002-CX Self-Regulating Heating Cable is a high-output electric trace heating cable designed for snow melting and anti-icing in concrete pavements, ramps and access roads.
Specifically developed for direct installation within concrete, SmSR provides a robust heating solution for pedestrian and vehicle access areas exposed to freezing winter conditions.
Rated at 100W/m at 0°C in ice-and-water conditions, the 230V cable automatically adjusts its heat output in response to surrounding temperature changes.
Snow Melting and Anti-Icing for Concrete Surfaces
Snow and ice accumulation on access roads, pedestrian pavements and vehicle ramps can create hazardous surface conditions during winter weather.
SOLCO SmSR is designed to provide distributed electric heating within concrete surfaces, helping reduce snow accumulation and ice formation when installed as part of a correctly designed de-icing system.
Its high-output construction makes it particularly suitable for commercial and infrastructure projects requiring dependable surface heating.
SmSR is specifically manufactured for direct burial in concrete, making it suitable for integrated heating systems within pavements, access roads and car park ramps.
How SOLCO SmSR Self-Regulating Heating Cable Works
SmSR incorporates a self-regulating heating element that changes its electrical resistance in response to temperature.
When temperatures decrease, the cable increases its heat output. As the surrounding temperature rises, the heat output reduces automatically.
Individual sections of the cable respond to local temperature conditions, helping deliver variable heat output throughout the installation.
This technology is particularly useful for outdoor surface heating systems, where temperature conditions can vary across different areas of the same pavement or ramp.
Key Features and Benefits
Provides 100W/m at 0°C in ice-and-water conditions for demanding pavement heating applications.
Specifically designed for direct burial in concrete pavements, roads and ramps.
Automatically adjusts heat output in response to local temperature changes.
Manufacturer-designed to resist burning or overheating when overlapped under specified conditions.
Can be cut to suit installation requirements, subject to maximum circuit lengths and correct termination.
Manufactured for demanding installation conditions and high-temperature exposure.
Features the manufacturer's specified XLEVA outer jacket construction.
Manufacturer-designed power switching supports operating efficiency and cable service life.
Typical Applications
Anti-icing systems for sloped vehicle entrances and commercial car park access areas.
Snow melting for suitable pedestrian routes, walkways and paved areas.
Surface heating for entrances to offices, public buildings and commercial premises.
De-icing installations for roads serving suitable commercial developments.
Snow melting for entrance roads serving resorts and golf courses.
Manufacturer-listed applications include bridges and airport infrastructure.
Heating Output and Performance
SOLCO SmSR1002-CX has two published heat output ratings depending on the surrounding ice and moisture conditions.
| Test Conditions | Rated Heat Output |
|---|---|
| 0°C – Ice and Water | 100W/m |
| 0°C – Ice | 120W/m |
These ratings describe the same SmSR1002-CX cable under different conditions. They are not separate heating cable variants.
The required cable spacing and total installed heating capacity depend on the surface construction, expected weather conditions, desired performance and calculated heat requirement.
SOLCO describes typical system design outputs of approximately 300W/m² or greater for snow melting and approximately 150W/m² for de-icing applications. These are application guidance figures rather than universal installation requirements.

Installation and System Requirements
SOLCO SmSR1002-CX should be installed as part of a properly designed pavement snow melting or anti-icing system.
- Determine the total surface area and required heating output per square metre.
- Calculate cable spacing and the required cable length for the installation.
- Plan the cable layout and installation depth according to the concrete surface construction.
- Use suitable temperature, snow and moisture sensing controls.
- Select compatible connections, end seals and fixing accessories.
- Verify maximum circuit lengths and protective device ratings against SOLCO's technical data.
- Protect the heating cable against installation damage during concrete placement.
- Follow the manufacturer's testing and commissioning procedures.
Installation Note: Electrical installation and termination must be carried out by suitably qualified personnel in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable regulations.
