Re: electrical heating cable issue
Heater tape is only cable with a different resistance to normal power cable.
The magnetic forces therfore will be consistant with all cables, motors, electrical fittings and other such things.
I would not think there would be any side effects from heatertape.
Why are you in such close proximity to heater tapes that you should worry about this?
Cheers taz.

Re: electrical heating cable issue
I suppose you can design it to run on high voltage DC if it bothers you. Just add a bridge rectifier and capacitor (or inductor) and resize the cable to take into account the difference between RMS and peak voltages.
If you have 3 phase power, you can just use a 3 phase bridge without a capacitor or inductor.
I don't think there's any actual problem with the magnetic fields."If Hannah was an air handler, I would be a condensing unit so I could open her TXV and pump my refrigerant through her coils." - a HVAC friend of mine
