Heating Cable Identification
Each MI heating cable is supplied with an
identification tag (see Figure 2) on which the
heating cable catalog number is permanently
printed. In addition to its identification purposes,
the catalog number provides information
regarding the heating cable length, power output,
and operating voltage. Also printed on the tag
are the designer’s circuit identification number
(optional), the cable current rating, serial number
and maximum cable sheath temperature.
If the cable has been designed for a hazardous
location, the area classification is printed in the
‘Haz. Locations’ section of the tag.
