CEI EN 60519-10

BILINGUAL

Scope and object

This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.

Replacement:

This part of IEC 60519 provides safety requirements for
electrical resistance trace heating systems used in industrial and
commercial applications for piping, vessels, roofs, concrete slab
heating and other similar applications.

This standard pertains to trace heating systems that may
comprise either factory fabricated or field (work-site) assembled
units, and which may be series heater cables, parallel heater
cables, heater pads or heater panels that have been assembled
and/or terminated in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions.

Typical applications include but are not limited to

— the freeze protection of pipes, tanks and vessels, including
fire water systems;

— maintaining required temperatures of equipment, including
pipes, tanks and vessels;

— earth thermal storage;

— hot water temperature maintenance;

— snow melting of surfaces;

— de-icing of roofs and gutters.

This standard does not include or provide for any requirements
in potentially explosive atmospheres.

This part of IEC 60519 does not cover induction, impedance or
skin effect heating.

NOTE Specific requirements and test criteria for electrical
resistance trace heating systems and design, installation, and
maintenance requirements for these systems are detailed in IEC
62395-1 and IEC 62395-2.

This standard provides general safety requirements for the
installation, operation, maintenance and repair of systems and
individual circuits and for trace heating systems designs. These
safety considerations concern the protection of persons and the
environment against dangers of electrical origin and also against
certain dangers of non-electrical origin, common to all types of
equipment and installations.
