Guidelines for Installing Electric Immersion Snow Melting Systems

Important Guidelines for Installing Electric Immersion Snow Melting Systems

Want to learn more about the number one mistake when installing heat trace for snow melting?

Then you need to take part in our free training course on the steps involved before, during, and after the installation process.

Certain tasks are almost always overlooked, like measuring the cables ohm reading before, during, and after the installation process. This provides the required warranty information and can reveal if any cable has been damaged during installation, before any concrete or other top layer has been laid over the cable.

For every circuit the following needs to be done:

Check the ohm value shown on the cable tag as soon as you receive the cable. Measure it and make sure it matches.
Measure the ohm reading of the cable and record the results before you lay in down per the design.
Lay the cable out and secure it so that it is ready to be embedded (under concrete, asphalt, or pavers) and then measure the cable’s ohm reading.
Apply the top layer (concrete, asphalt, or pavers) and measure the ohm reading.

Although many firms can offer heat trace products and system components, it is important to remember that a snow melt system is only as good as its installation.

That’s why it’s so important to work with a provider like Liberty Electric Products that offers complete heat trace services, including professional system design and expert installation support services such as startup and commissioning.
