Product description | Constant wattage heating cables
Constant wattage heating cables are divided into zones. They have a fixed wattage per meter and and can be cut. Constant wattage heating cables are used in frost protection and for temperature regulation. Flexible solution – easy to cut to desired lengths and easy to terminate. The heating cables must not cross one another and a thermostat must always be used to control the temperature. Backer offer a wide range of constant wattage heating cables for temperatures up to 285°C and wattages up to 70 W/m. We also supply thermostats and other accessories.
Powerheat AHT
Powerheat AHT is a special patented heating cable with a coating of aluminum, enabling the cable to withstand temperatures up to 425°C and with a constant wattage of up to 150 W/m. The heating cables are explosion-proof. More product information will be added to this page, but in the mean time please contact us for detailed information about the cables.

Product application – Heat trace constant wattage
Constant wattage heating cables are purpose‑built heating elements designed to deliver a fixed power output per metre, making them a reliable choice for industrial heat tracing and frost‑protection tasks across Australian facilities. Each cable is divided into heating zones that maintain a consistent wattage, ensuring stable thermal performance even in demanding environments. Because the cables can be cut to the required length and terminated easily, they offer a flexible solution for installers working on varied Australian applications, from processing plants to freezer doorframes.
These cables are commonly used for frost protection, temperature maintenance, tube and container heating, and defrosting systems. They are suitable for piping, valves, gutters, compressor housings and other areas where controlled heat is essential to maintain uptime and prevent cold‑related failures. Certain models are also designed for installation in liquids, expanding their use across industrial and commercial sectors.
