Electric heating cable - a little theory.

Electric heating is one of the most common types of floor heating. In the device is placed in a certain way sex electric heating cable or tape. By this device the cable connects electricity through the heating thermostat. Electric warm floor heating cable is outwardly similar to conventional cable. Its main purpose - not to transfer to a distance of power and electrical signals and convert them to the thermoelectric current.


A small part of electricity in any drive or the cable is converted into heat. This energy is only 2%, while forcing a full range of measures to reduce it. With regard to heating cables, here the situation is reversed: 100% capacity should be transformed into heat, and its selection at the cable unit - it is the most important element of the heating cable. This process of heating cables are called specific heat.

Cable floor heating takes the form of specially selected heating mats, as well as sections. Presented heating sections are placed directly into the concrete screed, but the heating mats - in a special layer of tile adhesive, already on the outdated screed. In the heating elements used for heating cable of two types:

1.dvuhzhilny heating cable;

2.odnozhilny heating cable.

When laid solid conductors, then both ends folded into one single point, but when laying double-core cable, one end does not return to the starting point. Cable heating is quite effective way to provide heating floor. At the moment quite well known and quality is the warm floor Nexans, which is characterized by security of heating any room.
