Heater circuit may be shorter than
anticipated in the design stage.
Verify installed length (if possible)
and if different review design. If
length is different but performance-
wise the “as built” design is
acceptable, initiate “as built” drawing
change and change controller low
current setting. Check heater set tags
or markings on heater cable against
installation drawings. As an
additional check, disconnect heater
from power and measure DC
resistance.
Wrong heater wattage or heater resistance
may be installed.
Measure pipe temperature and
measure steady-state heater current,
voltage, and length. Compare to
manufacturer’s rated power curve.
Replace heat tracing cable if
necessary.
Heat tracing may be powered on wrong
voltage.
Recheck heater supply voltage.
Current sensing circuitry may have
encountered a problem.
Use a different current clamp type
meter which is known to be
accurate and do a comparative
reading. Investigate current
measurement circuitry further. Note
that one should only read heater
currents when the heater is 100% on.
Field heater wiring is improperly labeled
and/or connected such that the heater and
the circuit number are not matched.
Trace out the circuit wiring from the
field back into the panel and
subsequently to the controller.
Wherever possible, turn the circuit
“off” and “on” and watch for an
appropriate response. If this is the
problem, redo the wiring.
Open circuit in a series resistance circuit. Disconnect
heater
from
power,
meg
between each of the conductors and
ground for proper dielectric rating.
If okay, measure resistance of circuit
for agreement with design values.
