Excessive Conductor Heating
Cabling attached to the transformer can have excessive heating that causes conductor damage.
| Check: | Solution: |
|---|---|
| Check conductor connections to make sure they are. | Tighten conductor connections. Replace conductors if they are damaged. |
| Verify conductors are properly sized. | Replace conductors if they need to be sized larger. |
| Check conductor insulation rating to make sure it can withstand the high tempertures within the enclosure. | Replace with cabling with higher ambient rated conductors. |
| Verify conductors aren’t placed above the coils where the warmest air will rise. | Reposition conductors in enclosure to avoid the hottest air existing from the top of the coils. |
