Step 5: Select the appropriate outer jacket material BARTEC self-regulating trace heaters are available with 2 different types of outer jackets. Choose the outer jacket that suits the chemical envi- ronment it will be exposed to. For questions regarding the chemical resistance please contact your local BARTEC distributor.
→ Example total required trace heater length: 63.3 m circuit breaker voltage: 230 Vac selected trace heater: 10 PSB circuit breaker amperage: 25 A required start-up temperature: -20 °C allowable trace heater length from table below = maximum of 69 m at -20 °C on 25 A circuit breaker at 230 Vac = 63.3 m calculated <...

If feeding multiple trace heating system circuits from the single circuit breaker, the maximum sum of trace heater lengths can then be extended. Please refer to BARTEC Heloc Pro design software or contact BARTEC technical support. Breaker sizing should be based on international electric codes or any other local or applicable code. Use only circuit breakers with type C tripping characteristics.
Step 12: Determine if control equipment is required: BARTEC provides a variety of control products, from simple mechanical thermostats to sophisticated digital controllers and control and monitor- ing systems designed specifically for use with our trace heating products. This section will help you select and specify the right control products for your application.

Self-regulating trace heating systems Design Guide for Hazardous / Industrial Maintenance Visual and functional inspection Regularly check the thermal insulation for possible damage, missing seals, cracks, damage to the outer jacket, missing thermal insulation bushings for trace heaters and cables, penetrated water or chemicals. If the thermal insulation is damaged the trace heater should be checked for possible damage.
For installation of selected components, the manufacturer’s installation manual must be observed. Thus above mentioned advices may differ. It must be added to the junction box documentation. It is not allowed to add or manipulate drillings and threads at the BARTEC junction box. For selecting type of Power supply cable, see chapter Technical Data.
