Elektrische Widerstands-Begleitheizungen für industrielle und gewerbliche Zwecke - Teil 2: Anwendungsleitfaden für Systemauslegung, Installation und Wartung (IEC 62395-2:2013); Deutsche Fassung EN 62395-2:2013
Overview
IEC 62395-2 provides detailed recommendations for the system design, installation, maintenance and repair of electrical resistance trace heating systems in industrial and commercial applications. It is the objective of the standard 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 so as to meet the test criteria and requirements 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 this standard; c) having at least the minimum levels of overcurrent and earth-fault protection required in DIN EN 62395-1. The responsible committee is DKE/K 362 "Industrielle Elektrowärme" ("Industrial electro-heat") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
