GROUNDFAULT PROTECTION
To minimize the danger of fire from sustained electrical arcing if the heating
cable is damaged or improperly installed, and to comply with the requirements
of Pentair Thermal Managementy, agency certifications, and national electrical
codes, ground-fault equipment protection must be used on each heating cable
branch circuit. Arcing may not be stopped by conventional circuit protection.
Many DigiTrace control and monitoring systems meet the ground-fault protection
requirement.
