Due to the different site environment and installation needs, electric heat tracing is also divided into different models, for example, according to the voltage can be divided into 24V, 36V, 110V, 220V, 380V, etc., if there is a special requirement of voltage, you can also require electric cable manufacturers to customize. Is it the same for different voltage electric cable wiring, and how to wire 380V electric heat trace.
Generally, the common electric heat trace is a single straight line or wrapped on the insulated object, coated with aluminum foil electric heat trace directly attached to the process pipe wall, and installed insulation layer outside, such as pipeline equipment. Among them, according to whether the winding electric cable is superimposed, consider the use of self-limiting temperature electric cable when the design temperature allows. However, heat tracing in high temperature environment requires the use of constant power electric tracing, and can not be superimposed winding, so special attention should be paid to installation, constant power electric tracing can be specifically divided into single-phase and three-phase electric tracing, generally can be divided into 220V, 380V, choose which electric cable can be according to process requirements and use environment. For example, the drawing to the electric cable with the switch circuit breaker, contactor, etc. are all three-phase, then it can be recommended to use three-phase constant power electric trace, its internal three wires are live wire, generally star-delta connection, through the electric cable special junction box for power and electric cable connection, after installation, generally leave an electric cable in all the two-way and three-way connection after extension of 100mm, convenient for later inspection, with three-phase is generally star delta connection.
Electric heat trace wiring installation is very important, many electric trace faults are caused by improper installation, so if the user will not install, can let the electric heat tracing manufacturer on-site guidance or ask a professional installation team to install, to avoid the installation of irregular installation caused by the electric heating system failure can not be used.
