Insulation of infrared underfloor heating wires

[zihadhosenjm40]

The cutting lines of the contact strip are insulated on both sides using a waterproofing strip. Protected copper wires with a cross-section of 1.5 sq. mm. are brought to the tip and clamped using pliers. After this, the junction of the copper busbar and the electric wire with the tip must be insulated on both sides with a waterproofing strip. Parts of the heating film must be connected parallel to each other, and the highest total power of the heating elements that are connected to the thermostat must not exceed 3500 W.
When connecting the heating system, it is important to take into account the presence of other electrical appliances that may also be connected to this network.
If the total power of the heating system is more than 3500 W, it is advisable to connect using separate electrical wiring, which is protected by a separate circuit breaker. In addition, the connection of heating devices should be carried out using a magnetic starter.

Then it is necessary to lay the thermal insulation nigeria mobile database a reflective layer and secure it with tape.
The heating elements are laid on the thermal insulation with the copper strips facing down. They should be laid in such a way as to avoid contact between adjacent strips. The heating elements are attached using tape, a stapler or furniture nails, which will minimize the likelihood of the strips shifting during the installation of the covering.
Heating elements should be attached only through the transparent rim located on the sides of the element. The heating element should be approximately 5 mm from any power section of the element, which also includes copper electrical buses. The wires should be positioned so that the main ones are under the baseboard. In places where the contact strips are insulated and there is a thickening of the system, cuts are made in the thermal insulation in order to level the surface for the final coating.


Correct wiring during installation of film heated floors

Then it is necessary to carefully inspect the system, as well as check the reliability of the insulation and fastening of the wires. After this, it is necessary to measure the resistance of the heating strips. If there are sources of possible short circuits in the system, they should be eliminated, after which a repeat test for operability should be carried out.
Using adhesive tape, a temperature sensor is attached under the cutting line (where there is no heated section of the film). Heating elements and a sensor are attached to the thermostat.
