Common types of electric heating cables
Before you start measuring the cable, it is important to know the different types of faults, and how they affect
the diagnosis. The 4 most common cable types are shown below. They feature from one to three conductors,
including the optional screen. Heating cables having more than three conductors are treated similar to twin
conductor cables.
Note: Only heating cables with two or more conductors can be handled by the DEVItector™. The tracing prin-
ciple is based on an electrical return path within the heating cable. So, keep in mind that "Single conductor
without screen" cable is not possible to be handled by the DEVItector™.
