I bought some self regulating heat trace cable used for deicing. Normal 120 volt ac stuff.
It also included roll of what looked like zip cord. One end was crimped into U turn like the other cable. the other end was bare. The wire looks like stranded copper wire. added a plug and Plugged it into 120 volts. I could not feel any heat after 30 minutes. So I read the tiny black on black print on the jacket. It is like 5 watt/foot at 300 volts. Why 300 volts?
Where is 300 volts used maybe on a ship? 240, maybe but 300 volts?

I will give it to my wife to tie up flowers and bushes.
