Electrical resistance increases at points of loose connection and that generates heat. This
means that your heated breaker may simply be loose at bolt.
Observed excess heat generated at bolted connection of Y-Phase (incoming & outgoing)
than other Phases at both side.
Clean the contact portions at joints of Y- phase terminal marked as Sp2 & Sp5 of the
ACB and then tighten the bolted connection properly.
Open up the contact of joint; Clean the contact surfaces of bolted connection and Re-fix
again.
SFU
Checked incoming and outgoing connection to SFU.
Observed equal temperature in all three phases of connection to SFU.
Electrical resistance increases at points of loose connection and that generates heat. This
means that your heated connection of SFU may simply be loose at bolt spot Sp4 (Yph
Incoming).
Electrical resistance increases at points of loose connection and that generates heat. This
means that your heated connection of SFU may simply be loose at bolt spot Sp4 (Yph
Outgoing).
Clean the contact portions at joints of Y- phase terminal marked as Sp2 of the SFU and
then tighten the bolted connection properly.
Open up the contact of joint; Clean the contact surfaces of bolted connection and Re-fix
again.
FUSE
Checked incoming and outgoing connection to Fuse.
Observed equal temperature in all three phases of connection to Fuse.
Electrical resistance increases at points of loose connection and that generates heat. This
means that your heated connection of Fuse may simply be loose at bolt spot Sp4 (Yph
Incoming).
Electrical resistance increases at points of loose connection and that generates heat. This
means that your heated connection of Fuse may simply be loose at bolt spot Sp4 (Yph
Outgoing).
Observed Y-Phase (Sp2) at higher Temperatures than other phases on terminal bolted
connection at incoming of fuse.
Clean the contact portions at joints of Y- phase terminal marked as Sp2 of the Fuse and
then tighten the bolted connection properly.
Open up the contact of joint; Clean the contact surfaces of bolted connection and Re-fix
again.
A differential in temperature can be seen across the one fuses with the client stating that
there are known issues with failures of the fuses.
Observed higher temperature at point Bx1 (Y-phase Incoming) .
Please remove that fuse inspecting the contact surfaces for oxidisation. The fuses carrier
/ holder should also be inspected and cleaned as required. When refitting please ensure
fuse is secure and that the phase loading is balanced.
Changeover switch
Checked incoming and outgoing connection to changeover switch.
Observed equal temperature in all three phases of changeover switch.
Observed higher temperature at point Sp1(R-ph outgoing) may be due to loose bolted
connection. The higher contact resistance develops heat at that point 52 C.
Observed Y-Phase (Sp2) at higher Temperatures than other phases on terminal bolted
connection at incoming of Changeover switch.
Clean the contact portions at joints of Y- phase terminal marked as Sp2 of the
Changeover switch and then tighten the bolted connection properly.
Open up the contact of joint; Clean the contact surfaces of bolted connection and Re-fix
again.
Cable connection
Checked outgoing connection of device.
Observed equal temperature in all three phases of cable connection.
One of the three phase connections was loose, causing increased resistance at the cable
joints. The excess heating produced a temperature rise of 89 C at Sp1.
Two of the three phase connections was loose, causing increased resistance at the cable
side connection. The excess heating produced a temperature rise of 60 C at spot Sp3 &
Sp5.
Observed higher temperature at point Bx1 (Y-phase Incoming) may be due to
Improper crimping of lug and cable joints. The higher contact resistance develops heat
at that point.
After observation of contactor found heated due to load .
One of the three phase cable connections was loose, causing increased resistance at the
connector. The excess heating produced in cable due to temperature rise of 84 C at Li1.
Open up the contact of joint; Clean the contact surfaces of bolted connection and Re-fix
again.
Clean the contact portions at joints of R- phase terminal marked as Sp1 of the cable
and then tighten the bolted connection properly.
Connector
Remove contact at Point Sp1, clean the connector contact surface and re-fix again.
Contactor
Checked incoming and outgoing connection to contactor.
One of the three phase connections was loose, causing increased resistance at the
contactor. The excess heating produced a temperature rise of 89 C at Sp1.
Two of the three phase connections was loose, causing increased resistance at the
contactor. The excess heating produced a temperature rise of 60 C at spot Sp3 & Sp5.
Electrical resistance increases at points of loose connection and that generates heat. This
means that your heated contactor may simply be loose at bolt spot Sp4.
Remove contact at Point Sp1, clean the connector contact surface and re-fix again.
Clean the contact portions at joints of Y- phase terminal marked as Sp2 of the and then
tighten the bolted connection properly.
Motor
Checked incoming cable connection of motor.
One of the three phase connections was loose, causing increased resistance at the cable
joints. The excess heating produced a temperature rise of 89 C at Sp1.
Two of the three phase connections was loose, causing increased resistance at the cable
side connection. The excess heating produced a temperature rise of 60 C at spot Sp3 &
Sp5.
