PRODUCT SELECTION
Consult BriskHeat factory for product selection and application engineering support.
RECEIPT & STORAGE
Receipt
Compare the materials against the shipping bill to verify receipt of proper materials.
Inspect heating cable and components for transit damage. Insulation resistance tests on each spool of cable are recommended.
If design documents (line lists or per circuit bills of material) exists, check the received materials against the lists to verify of all
needed materials. If no design documents exists, keep a receipt log of all materials received.
Storage
Cables and system components should be stored in a clean, dry area. The equipment should be protected from mechanical damage
during storage. The storage temperature range is (-40°F to 140°F) -40°C to 60°C.
INSTALLATION
While there are many acceptable ways of installing BriskHeat’s electric heating equipment, certain actions can be dangerous to
personnel and your installations. Please take care to avoid the following problems:
Do not twist the bus wires together at either end of the heating
cable. Each of these wires has a voltage or neutral applied to it;
twisting them together will cause a short circuit.
Insulate black polymer surrounding bus wires. The black compound
extruded around the bus wires is electrically conductive and should
be treated as a conductor.
All electrical connections in the system should be sealed against
moisture. To prevent electrical arcing and fire hazard, all cable
connections and electrical wiring connections should be sealed
against moisture. This includes the use of proper cable sealing kits
and the moisture proofing of all wire connections.
Do not expose heating cables to temperatures above their
maximum ratings. Higher temperatures can greatly shorten the life of
a heating cable.
Immediately replace any damaged heating cable or components.
Failure to replace any damaged components ( heating cable,
components, or thermal insulation) will result in system failure.
Classified areas (explosive dust or gases) require the use of special
electrical components. Any area having explosive gases (such as
chemical / petrochemical installations) or explosive dusts (such as
coal handling or graineries) require special cable, connection
components and control components that are approved for use in
these areas. Installation of non-approved products can result in fires
or explosions.
Installation on plastic pipe requires special considerations in
selections & installation.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual is designed for use with BriskHeat’s self-regulating heater products. For applications not specifically addressed, please
contact your local representative.
How Heating Systems Work
An electric heating cable system uses the electric heating cable to replace the heat that is
lost through the thermal insulation system. Replacing the lost heat allows the pipe and
product inside the pipe to be kept at a constant temperature. This will keep water from
freezing and bursting a pipe, or a liquid from setting up and plugging the pipe. Simple
systems may turn the entire system on with a contactor or switch, while others will use a
thermostat with each heating cable to control the temperature.
