Table 3: Maximum Single Cable Length
Table 4: Wattage Adjustment (W/Ft)
The maximum length of a single cable run is noted in Table 3
and cannot be exceeded. If the application requires a longer
cable run, then multiple cables and additional power circuits
must be used.
When using 240 volt SR cable on 208, 220 or 277 volt
applications, the power output (wattage) must be adjusted.
Refer to Table 4 for the adjusted watts/ft of the cable when
operated at a voltage other than 240 volt.
Circuit protection depends on the length of cable required
and the start-up temperature since the cable will draw more
power (wattage) when cold. Multiple cables can be run from
a single power circuit up to a maximum combined length as
noted in Table 5. Larger amperage circuits breakers can
handle longer combined cable lengths, but the maximum
length for a single cable run does not change. The NEC
requires the use of ground fault protection breakers for
heating cable.
NOTE: 240 volt cable lengths in Table 5 are also good for
208, 220, and 277 volt.
