Heat-trace energy use

Estimate connected load and energy use for a thermostatically controlled heating cable.

Heated cable lengthmUse the installed heated length, excluding cold leads.

Cable power ratingW/mUse the applicable rating at the design condition.

Average duty cycle%Estimated fraction of enabled time at full rated power.

Enabled hours per dayh/dayHours per day the control permits operation.
