What is BS EN 60519-10 - Electrical resistance trace heating systems about?
BS EN 60519 series is a European standard that discusses Safety in installations for electro heating processes.
BS EN 60519-10 is the tenth part of the EN 60519 series that 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.
BS EN 60519-10 pertains to trace heating systems that may comprise either factory-fabricated or
field (work-site) assembled units, which may be series heater cables, parallel heater cables, heater pads, or heater panels that have been assembled and/or terminated in accordance with the 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
