damage or improper installation use ground-fault protection.
The National Electrical Code (NEC) and Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC) require ground-fault protection of equipment for each
branch circuit supplying electric heat tracing.
• Installation must comply with Thermon requirements and be in
stalled in accordance with the NEC, CEC, or any other applicable
national and local codes.
• Component approvals and performance ratings are based on
the use of Thermon specified parts only.
• De-energize all power sources before opening enclosure.
• Keep ends of heating cable and kit components dry before and
during installation.
