WHAT IS AN ELECTRICAL HEAT TRACE ASSESSMENT?

What is an electrical heat trace assessment and why is it important to your facility? At EHT Group, we are committed to simplifying electrical heat trace, and it starts with an electrical heat trace assessment. 

Our heat tracing assessments are unmatched by anyone else in the industry, find out why. 

We understand that every facility is different, which is why we offer a variety of assessment options, but at the core of our assessments, we look at 

• Visibility of the health of your heat tracing infrastructure  

• EHT Controller Programming  
• Networking review for heat trace control panels 
• EHT maintenance scheduling review  
• Any site-specific problem areas  

 

What is an Electrical Heat Trace Assessment?  

An electrical heat trace (EHT) assessment is a critical first step in understanding the health of your EHT system. If you are currently experiencing operational issues and upsets in your facility, and an increase in EHT related scheduled work, then an audit is a great first step to ensure your facility is operating optimally, while also providing more clarity, increasing efficiency and reducing maintenance.  

 

What is covered in an Electrical Heat Trace Assessment?  

In our heat trace assessment, we focus on high-value and high leverage activities where the standard approach is throwing manpower and money at the problem that exists. 

In our EHT assessments we complete the following;  

A detailed review of EHT controller and circuit programming  

• Evaluating specific settings that affect the operation of the EHT circuit – which is critical to identify programming errors to ensure critical failures are identified before alarms and disruption to production  
• Review the settings that affect the alarm status of an EHT circuit 
• Correct and/or identify all programming issues required 

 

EHT Scheduling System Review  

• Verifying that only critical EHT alarms are identified in the scheduling system  
• Identifying nuisance, duplicate and previously completed items that can be removed from the scheduling system, providing immediate cost savings 
• Confirming resources are only looking at critical circuits  

 

EHT System Network Review  

• Ensure that your EHT infrastructure is not experiencing communication issues  
• Identify panels that are not networked  
• Implement a detailed and cost saving plan related to networking concerns  

 

What Does Your Facility Take Away from an Electrical Heat Trace Assessment? 

As we previously stated, an electrical heat trace assessment is a low cost, high value activity that provides;
