Introduction

HTPG and HTPI panels are a cost-effective
and convenient means of providing ground-
fault protection to heat-tracing circuits.
9. Heat-Trace
Panels
Tyco Thermal Controls offers two types of heat-trace panels: the DigiTrace brand HTPG
(Heat-Tracing Panel Group Control) and HTPI (Heat-Tracing Panel Individual Control). These
distribution panels have the option of using ground-fault circuit breakers (30-mA trip level).
Per national electrical codes and Tyco Thermal Controls requirements, ground-fault protec-

System Overview
This section will assist you in sizing and
specifying your transformer and heat-
tracing panel
Figure 1 represents a typical heat-tracing power distribution system. At the Motor Control
Center (MCC) the voltage is reduced to the level required for the heat tracing. The trans-
former supplies this reduced voltage to the distribution panelboard, which contains the main
circuit breaker and branch circuit breakers. From the branch circuit breakers (CB), the voltage
is transferred to the heaters power connection box via wire/conduit or cable. This section
will assist you in sizing and specifying the transformer and heat-tracing panel.

circuit breaker
Choose the appropriate main circuit breaker based upon your application.

TRANSFORMER SIZING
Transformers must be sized for the start-up load. This ensures that the main breaker, which
protects the transformer, is large enough to take the start-up currents produced by heaters
that have transient currents, such as self-regulating heaters. For most applications, this is
based on the total start-up current. The formula for calculating minimum transformer rating is:

Vp-n x IT x SF Vp-p x IT x SF
= KVA or = KVA
1000 1000 x 1.73

Where: KVA = KVA rating of the transformer

SF = Safety factor (allowance for spare capacity)
IT = Total start-up current
Vp-n = Phase-to-neutral voltage of the transformer secondary
Vp-p = Phase-to-phase voltage of the transformer secondary

After you have applied the above formula, go to Table 1 and choose the next largest standard
transformer.

Note: The above formulas are based upon the assumption that the transformer is perfectly
balanced and the entire panelboard will be energized at the same minimum ambient temper-
ature for which the branch circuit breakers were sized.

Note regarding transformer primary protection: In most cases, the customer will provide
the primary main circuit breaker. However, if you must provide the main circuit breaker on
the primary side, the formula is:

KVA x 1000 x 1.25

= Next largest standard breaker
Vp-p x 1.73

Where: KVA = KVA rating of the transformer

1.25 = NEC factor
Vp-p = Phase-to-phase voltage supplying transformer

ALARM OPTIONS
Bell alarm versus relay alarm
We offer two types of alarm options for the HTPI and HTPG heat-trace panels: bell and relay.

The bell alarm option uses a ground-fault circuit breaker with an alarm contact built into the
breaker. Upon a ground fault or trip condition, this alarm contact changes state (closes),
sending a signal to the common alarm relay provided in the panel that a breaker has tripped.
Once in alarm, turning the breaker to the Off or On position clears the alarm. Due to the
alarm contact, the breakers are larger and take an extra space in the panelboard for
120/208/240 V breakers, thereby reducing the number of breakers you can install in a given
panelboard (see Fig. 6).

R R

Bell alarm

Each breaker requires an extra space in the

CB panelboard due to the bell alarm contact
(except for 277 V ground-fault breakers).
Fig. 6 Ground-fault circuit breaker with bell alarm contact

The relay alarm uses standard ground-fault circuit breakers wired to a relay. Upon a ground
fault/trip condition or if/when the breaker is turned off, the relay changes state (closes)
sending a signal to the common alarm relay provided in the panel that the breaker has
tripped or has been turned to the Off position. Once in alarm, turning the breaker to the
On position or removing the relay will clear the alarm (see Fig. 7).

HEAT-TRACE PANELS

VOLTAGE
This is the voltage at which the heater is powered. If you have a combination of 120 V and
208 V heaters in the same panelboard, use 120/208 as the voltage. For 240 V, we are assum-
ing that the voltage to the panelboard is single-phase (two phases and a neutral).

PANELBOARD SIZE
Specify the panelboard size you will require based on the number and type of circuit breakers
required. You can specify a larger-than-required panelboard for spare space.

CIRCUIT BREAKER TYPE AND RATING

Specify the type of ground-fault breakers you require in the panelboard. In the parenthesis
( ), fill in the amperage of the breakers (refer to Fig. 8). If more than one amperage is
required, then list all the amperages; for example, 3/2P(50), 4/2P(40).

NUMBER OF BREAKERS
Figure 8 lists the standard numbers of breakers we offer in a single panelboard. If you require
more or fewer than the number of breakers shown, list the actual number of breakers
required and we can provide a factory quote.

ENCLOSURE
Figure 8 shows the standard enclosures. If the panel will be located in a hazardous location
(CID1 or CID2), specify 7 for a NEMA 7 explosion-proof enclosure; specify NEMA 4 or 4X
enclosure for a Z-purge system and choose Z (Z purged) option.

MCB/CONTACTOR
If you require a main circuit breaker less than 100 A, state the required amperage. If you
require a main circuit breaker larger than 225 A, state the required amperage and we can pro-
vide a factory quote.

HEAT-TRACE PANELS

Fig. 9 HTPI catalog number elements

VOLTAGE
This is the voltage at which the heater is powered. If you have a combination of 120 V and
208 V heaters in the same panelboard, use 120/208 as the voltage. For 240 V, we are assum-
ing that the voltage to the panelboard is single-phase (two phases and a neutral).

PANELBOARD SIZE
Specify the panelboard size you will require based on the number and type of circuit breakers
required.You can specify a larger-than-required panelboard for spare space.

CIRCUIT BREAKER TYPE AND RATING

Specify the type of breakers you require in the panelboard. If you choose a standard circuit
breaker, the ground-fault protection function must come from the controller. In the parenthe-
sis ( ), fill in the amperage of the breakers (refer to Figure 9). If more than one amperage is
required, then list all the amperages; for example, 3/2P(50), 4/2P(40).

NUMBER OF BREAKERS
Figure 9 lists the standard numbers of breakers we offer in a single panelboard. If you require
more or fewer than the number of breakers shown, list the actual number of breakers
required and we can provide a factory quote.

ENCLOSURE
Figure 9 shows the standard enclosures. If the panel will be located in a hazardous location
(CID1 or CID2), specify 7 for a NEMA 7 explosion-proof enclosure; specify NEMA 4 or 4X
enclosure for a Z-purge enclosure and choose Z (Z purged) option.

MCB
If you require a main circuit breaker less than 100 A, state the required amperage. If you
require a main circuit breaker larger than 225 A, state the required amperage and we can pro-
vide a factory quote.
