CSA/ANSI C62395-2:26

Description

CSA Preface This is the first edition of CSA/ANSI C62395-2, Electrical resistance trace heating systems for industrial and commercial applications — Part 2: Application guide for system design, installation and maintenance , which is an adoption, with Canadian and U.S. deviations, of the identically titled IEC/IEEE (International Electrotechnical Commission/Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Standard 62395-2 (first edition, 2024-06). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as “CSA/ANSI C62395-2” throughout. This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CSA/ANSI C22.2 No. 62395-1:26, Electrical resistance trace heating systems for industrial, commercial, and residential applications — Part 1: General and testing requirements (adopted IEC/IEEE 62395-1:2024, with Canadian and U.S. deviations) . This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was reviewed for Canadian and U.S. adoption by the CSA Integrated Committee on Trace Heating, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. This Standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard. Scope This part of IEC/IEEE 62395 provides detailed recommendations for the system design, installation, maintenance and repair of electrical resistance trace heating systems in industrial and commercial applications. This document does not include or provide for any applications in potentially explosive atmospheres. This document pertains to trace heating systems that can comprise either factory fabricated or field-assembled (work-site) units, and which can be series or parallel trace heaters, or surface heaters (heater pads or heater panels) that have been assembled and/or terminated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The products covered by this document are intended to be installed by persons who are suitably trained in the techniques required and that only trained personnel carry out especially critical work, such as the installation of connections and terminations. Installations are intended to be carried out under the supervision of a qualified person who has undergone supplementary training in electric trace heating systems. This document does not cover induction, impedance or skin effect heating.
