Problem Title:
Tuttnauer circuit breaker or fuse problem |
|
Problem Description:
The circuit break or fuse gets hot |
| Reasons |
| 1. If the problem with Power Supply fuse or Dry Pump fuse, please check them first |
|
Solutions |
| 1. Check that the voltage is in the correct range for that unit The proper voltage range for 110 volt machines is between 110 and 125. The proper range for 220 volt machines is between 220 and 235 volts. Check for a bad plug on the Line Cord Check for a faulty receptacle on the autoclave or on the wall Check for loose wire connections on the input and output side of the Circuit Breaker or Fuse. Loose connectors will cause arcing that will cause that device to get hot. Check that the amperage draw of the machine is within the specification for that unit. If the amperage is higher than the spec allows then check the resistance of the Heating Elements of particular interest would be a reading to ground. If the unit has fuses then check for loose internal connections on the Fuse Holder If the unit has a Circuit Breaker and all the above are okay then replace the Circuit Breaker. It is possible for the Circuit Breaker to weaken over time. |
