Electrical resistance trace heating systems for industrial and commercial applications - Part 1: General and testing requirements

IEC 62395-1 specifies requirements for electrical resistance trace heating systems and includes general test requirements. This standard pertains to trace heating systems that may comprise either factory-fabricated or field-assembled (work-site) units, and which may be series and parallel trace heaters or surface heaters (heater pads and heater panels) that have been assembled and/or terminated in accordance with the manufacturer?s instructions. This standard also includes requirements for termination assemblies and control methods used with trace heating systems. This standard provides the essential requirements and testing appropriate to electrical resistance trace heating equipment used in industrial and commercial applications. The products certified according to this standard are intended to be installed by persons who are suitably trained in the techniques required and that only trained personnel carry out especially critical work, such as the installation of connections and terminations. Installations are intended to be carried out under the supervision of a qualified person who has undergone supplementary training in electric trace heating systems. This standard does not include or provide for any applications in potentially explosive atmospheres. This standard does not cover induction, impedance or skin effect heating. Trace heating systems can be grouped into different types of applications and the different conditions found during and after installation necessitate different requirements for testing. Trace heating systems are usually certified for a specific type of installation or application. Typical applications for the different types of installation include, but are not limited to: a) installations of trace heating for surface heating on pipes, vessels and associated equipment - applications include: - freeze protection and temperature maintenance; - hot water lines; - oil and chemical lines; - sprinkler system mains and supply piping; b) outdoor exposed area installations of trace heating - applications include: - roof de-icing; - gutter and down-spout de-icing; - catch basins and drains; - rail heating2; c) installation with embedded trace heating - applications include: - snow melting; - frost heave protection; - floor warming; - energy storage systems; - door frames; d) installations of trace heating internal to conduit and piping - applications include: - snow melting - in conduit; - frost heave protection - in conduit; - floor warming - in conduit; - energy storage systems - in conduit; - internal trace heating for freeze protection of potable water lines; - enclosed drains and culverts.

ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TRACE HEATING SYSTEMS
FOR INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS –

Part 1: General and testing requirements


FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62395-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 27:
Industrial electroheating and electromagnetic processing.
This second edition cancels and replaces the previous edition published in 2006 and
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
– Tests have been added for trace heating on sprinkler systems;
– The flammability test has been changed to align with the latest draft of future

INTRODUCTION
IEC 62395-1 provides the essential requirements and testing appropriate to electrical
resistance trace heating equipment used in industrial and commercial applications. While
some of this work already exists in national or international standards, this standard has
collated much of this existing work and added considerably to it.
IEC 62395-2 provides detailed recommendations for the system design, installation and
maintenance of electric trace heating systems in industrial and commercial applications.
It is the objective of IEC 62395 that, when in normal use, electrical trace heating systems
operate safely under their defined conditions of use, by
a) employing heaters of the appropriate construction and meeting the test criteria detailed in
IEC 62395-1. The construction includes a metallic sheath, braid, screen or equivalent
electrically conductive covering;
b) operating at safe temperatures when designed, installed, and maintained in accordance
with IEC 62395-2.
c) having at least the minimum levels of overcurrent and earth-fault protection required in
IEC 62395-1 and IEC 62395-2.
