INTRODUCING SMARTTRACE FOR UNCONTROLLED CIRCUITS : Revolutionizing Heat Trace Control
Posted Thursday June 1, 2023
Hey there, heat trace enthusiasts! We’ve got some exciting news to share with you. At EHT Group, we’re all about monitoring and managing electric heat trace systems, and we’ve taken it to a whole new level with our groundbreaking solution: SmartTrace. This innovative platform is the world’s first monitoring and management system for electrical heat trace systems. Trust us when we say, the impact it’s having is mind-blowing!
SmartTrace has been proven to deliver massive savings for facilities across various industries. Let’s dive into the ways it can transform your operations:
- Say Goodbye to Operational Upsets: Electrical heat trace can cause significant disruptions in your facility. But with SmartTrace, you can bid farewell to those pesky upsets. Our platform ensures smooth operations by eliminating issues caused by electrical heat trace.
- Enhanced Visibility of Heat Trace Infrastructure: Wondering about the health of your facility’s heat trace infrastructure? SmartTrace provides better visibility, so you can keep an eye on its well-being. No more guesswork or sleepless nights worrying about potential problems.
- Cost Savings Galore: Managing heat tracing can be a costly endeavor. SmartTrace helps slash expenses by decreasing overall management costs, labor requirements, and energy consumption. And let’s not forget the positive environmental impact of reduced CO2 emissions.
So, up until now, SmartTrace was designed to connect to existing electronic heat trace controllers. It made sense: our software connected to, monitored, controlled, and managed these controllers seamlessly. However, we noticed a concerning trend that needed attention.
Here’s the problem: there’s an overwhelming number of uncontrolled heat trace circuits out there. These circuits lack any form of control and are connected to ground fault rated breakers, left on, and forgotten. They’re like rogue heat traces wreaking havoc.
Uncontrolled heat trace circuits pose significant risks to facilities. They can lead to catastrophic failures, such as pipe bursts and facility shutdowns. Not to mention the colossal waste of energy and reduced lifespan of heating cables. Yikes!
While transitioning to fully controlled electronic heat trace controllers is a game-changer, it’s a monumental leap for most facilities. But fear not, because we’re thrilled to introduce SmartTrace Monitoring for uncontrolled heat trace circuits!
Here’s the scoop: we install a compact controller beside your existing distribution panels and incorporate small current transformers inside. These transformers allow us to monitor heat trace loads effectively. And trust us, this is a big deal!
So, why is this such a game-changer? Well, with SmartTrace for Uncontrolled Circuits, we can:
- Sound the Alarm: We’ll immediately alert you when there are low loads or tripped conditions, ensuring you can respond swiftly.
- Track and Analyze: We’ll keep tabs on power usage trends and record valuable data, helping you make informed decisions.
- Predict Cable Life: By closely monitoring the load, we can estimate the lifespan of your heating cables, preventing unexpected failures.
- Optimize Control: We’ll prompt you when it’s time to manually turn off or on your heat tracing, ensuring you have ultimate control.
- Empower Decision Making: Armed with concrete information and cost-benefit analysis, you can confidently decide whether to upgrade your heat trace control system or not.
And here’s the best part: SmartTrace Monitoring is remarkably cost-effective. We’ve designed it to deliver exceptional value while keeping your budget intact.
So, why settle for uncontrolled heat trace circuits when you can revolutionize your operations with SmartTrace Monitoring? Don’t let the risk and waste continue. Upgrade your heat trace control game and let us take care of the rest!
