STEP 1.4 (ProMelt Cable Only)
Select the cables you need.
WATTAGE: Decide what heat output is required. Your design must consider weather conditions and how critical it is
to clear the heated area.
50 watts per square foot: sufficient to clear most moderate and heavy snowfall rates
38 watts per square foot: sufficient to clear most light to moderate snowfall rates
SIZE: Select a cable in Table 2 to fit the Heated Area measured in Step 1.2. ProMelt Cable is manufactured in a variety
of sizes as shown. If the exact size of cable is not found in the Table, select the next smaller cable size.
AMPS and VOLTS: Pay careful attention to the amps to make sure your controls, circuit breaker panel, and all wiring
will have the proper capacity. Design circuit protection and wiring to handle 125 percent of heating cable load:
-20 amp circuit for load up to 16 amps
-30 amp circuit for load up to 24 amps
-40 amp circuit for load up to 32 amps
-50 amp circuit for load up to 40 amps
-70 amp circuit for load up to 50 amps
