Overview
This part of IEC 62395 specifies requirements for electrical resistance trace heating systems and includes general test requirements. This standard pertains to trace heating systems that comprise either factory-fabricated or field-assembled (work-site) units, and which may be series and parallel trace heaters or heater pads and heater panels, and that have been assembled and/or terminated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for connection to power supply up to an including 450 V/750 V. This standard also includes requirements for termination assemblies and control methods used with trace heating systems. This standard does not include or provide for any applications in potentially explosive atmospheres. The responsible body is DKE/K 362 "Industrielle Elektrowärme" ("Industrial electrothermics") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
