PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 

Prior to startup and on a regular annual basis it is recommended that both visual and electrical inspections be 
performed. The following is a list of heating cable system checks. 

 

Thermal Insulation: Check the waterproofing for damage as well as cracks or gaps in caulking on the thermal 
insulation to ensure no damage exists resulting in poor insulation values.  

 

Inspect all electrical enclosures for moisture, corrosion or foreign matter. 

 

Check all electrical connections for tightness and perform an insulation resistance check with a megger, from 
heating cable conductor to sheath (ground). The minimum resistance should be 5 MOhm or higher.
