Detailed steps for laying floor heating cables Avoid common mistakes

The core of any underfloor heating system is the installation of the heating cable. Proper installation ensures effective heating, safety, and a long service life. Below are detailed installation instructions and tips to avoid common problems.

 

1. Preparation

Check the blueprint

Calculate the cable length and spacing based on the room's area and heat load (typically 10-20 cm apart, with no overlapping).

Check the thermostat location, power cable routing, and power rating.

⚠️ Troubleshooting: Insufficient or excessively long cables can lead to localized overheating or uneven heating.

Material Inspection

Cable: Check the integrity and resistance of the insulation according to the manufacturer's specifications (using a multi-meter).

Supporting Materials: Insulation board (at least 2 cm thick), reflective film, wire mesh, staples, thermostat, etc.

⚠️ Troubleshooting: Poor-quality insulation board can easily leak heat downwards, increasing energy consumption.

 

2. Floor Preparation

Leveling the Base Layer

Remove debris and sharp objects from the floor and level it with cement mortar (flatness of 3 mm or less per 2 m).

⚠️ Mistake to Avoid: An uneven floor surface may damage the cable insulation.

Laying the Insulation

Lay extruded polystyrene (XPS) or EPS insulation and seal the seams with aluminum foil tape.

In humid areas (such as the first floor), lay a moisture-proof sheet.

 

3. Cable Laying Procedure

Securing the Reflective Film and Wire Mesh

Lay the reflective film (aluminum foil side up) on top of the insulation, overlapping it by 5 cm. Lay a wire mesh (optional, to strengthen the adhesion to the concrete).

Cable Laying Method

Snake Laying: Suitable for most rooms. Maintain even spacing (use a spacing ruler).

Spiral Laying: Suitable for circular or curved areas. Avoid bends less than five times the cable diameter.

⚠️ Mistakes to avoid: Spacing cables too close together can lead to overheating, while spacing them too far can lead to uneven heating.

Secure the Cable

Secure cables using plastic clips or cable ties to prevent metal staples from damaging the insulation.

Loosen the cable at the bend to avoid excessive tension.

Avoid sensitive areas.

Keep at least 10 cm away from walls and away from furniture fixtures and floor-standing cabinets.

Keep at least 5 cm away from water pipes and electrical wiring.

 

4. Electrical Connections and Testing

Install the thermostat and connect the wiring.

The height of the thermostat's recessed box should be 1.2–1.5 m. Connect the cold wire (power cord) and hot wire (cable) and protect them with PVC tubing.

⚠️ Avoid mistakes: Reversing the hot and cold wires can cause system failure.

Resistance and Insulation Test

Test the insulation resistance using an insulation resistance tester (1 MΩ or higher). The resistance measured with the multi-meter should be within 10% of the nominal value.

 

5. Building the Fill Layer

Pour the concrete/mortar.

Thickness: 3-5 cm (pebbled concrete is ideal). Do not step on the cable while pouring.

Allow the cable to dry naturally (curing period: 21 days or more). Avoid opening windows for ventilation, as this can cause rapid drying and cracking.

Secondary Test

Retest the resistance and insulation properties after the fill layer has completely dried.

 

6. Common Errors and Solutions

Problem Cause Solution

Partial heat loss Uneven cable spacing or broken cables Plan the route before installation and perform a test after installation.

Thermostat failure. Power mismatch. Select a thermostat based on the cable's wattage.

Floor cracks. The infill layer is too thin or not sufficiently cured. Ensure it is at least 3 cm thick and properly cured.

Excessive energy consumption. The insulation layer is missing or the reflective film is damaged. Check the integrity of the insulation layer.

 

7. Precautions

Cutting or extending the cable is strictly prohibited. The cable must be fully installed.

Do not apply electricity to the cable during installation to prevent overheating or damage.

After installation is complete, keep the installation drawings for future maintenance.

Standardized installation and rigorous testing significantly reduce the risk of subsequent failures. If you do not have professional experience, we recommend consulting a certified underfloor heating installation team.

Why CRGO Core Is Used In Transformers?

CRGO (Cold Rolled Grain Oriented, cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel) cores have become the core material in transformer manufacturing due to their unique material properties and electromagnetic performance. The following are the main reasons for their wide adoption:

1.Low iron losses

• Energy efficiency improvement: CRGO steel, through the addition of silicon (3% to 4%) and the cold rolling process, forms a directional grain structure that significantly reduces hysteresis loss and eddy current loss. This leads to a reduction of about 30% to 50% in no-load losses of transformers, and over long-term operation, it can greatly save energy costs.

• High resistivity: The silicon element increases the resistivity of the steel, inhibits the generation of eddy currents, and further reduces the proportion of energy converted into heat.

2.High Magnetic Permeability

• Efficient magnetic flux conduction:

The directional alignment of grains along the rolling direction creates a highly oriented structure, allowing magnetic flux to conduct efficiently along a low-resistance path. This reduces the magnetizing current requirement and improves the energy efficiency ratio of transformers.

• High saturation magnetic flux density:

High-silicon CRGO grades (e.g., high permeability grades) can carry higher magnetic flux in smaller volumes, enabling compact transformer designs while maintaining performance. This is critical for modern power systems requiring space-efficient solutions without compromising capacity.

3.Reduced Magnetostriction

• Noise and vibration reduction:

The optimized silicon content and grain structure in CRGO steel suppress the magnetostriction effect (material deformation caused by magnetic field variations). This significantly reduces operational noise and mechanical vibrations, making it ideally suited for noise-sensitive environments such as residential areas, hospitals, or data centers.

• Material stability:

Lower magnetostriction also minimizes long-term structural stress on the core, enhancing the transformer's durability and reliability under cyclic loading conditions.

4.High Stacking Factor

• Enhanced material efficiency:

The smooth surface and uniform thickness of CRGO steel sheets enable stacking factors exceeding 95% during core assembly. This minimizes air gaps, optimizes the magnetic circuit structure, and reduces material waste.

• Mechanical precision:

High dimensional consistency in CRGO laminations ensures stable core geometry, improving manufacturing repeatability and operational performance in high-power transformers.

5.Process Compatibility

• Laminated structure compatibility:

CRGO steel is used in thin sheet form, with interlayer insulation coatings (e.g., oxide layers or organic coatings) to isolate laminations. This blocks eddy current paths and further suppresses energy losses while maintaining magnetic efficiency.

• Mechanical stability:

The material exhibits high mechanical elasticity and fatigue resistance, ensuring the core maintains dimensional stability under prolonged electromagnetic stress. This property extends transformer service life and reduces maintenance requirements, even under cyclic operational loads.

 

Disadvantages and Trade-offs:

Although CRGO steel has ~20%–30% higher costs and greater weight compared to conventional silicon steel, its unmatched advantages in energy efficiency, longevity, and reliability make it indispensable in power transformer applications. It is particularly critical for:

 

• High-voltage transformers (>11 kV):

Enables efficient energy transmission with minimal losses over extended power grids.

• Energy-efficient distribution transformers:

Complies with global energy-saving regulations by reducing lifecycle operational costs through lower core losses.

• Precision-demanding systems:

Provides stable performance in noise-sensitive or reliability-critical environments, such as data centers, renewable energy infrastructure (solar/wind converters), and medical imaging equipment.

Summary:

CRGO cores achieve minimized magnetic losses and maximized magnetic efficiency through the synergistic effects of its oriented grain structure and silicon alloying design. This technology not only aligns with global energy efficiency standards, but also serves as a foundational material for advancing smart grid architectures and enabling the decarbo nization of power systems.
