►  Reason (1)

1. The circuit breaker is too small;

2. The power demand of the line exceeds the power supply of the circuit breaker;

3. The circuit breaker is activated at a lower than the design starting temperature;

►  Corrective Methods

Recalculate the power required for the check line and then select the circuit breaker (the power supply cable should also be selected);

 

►  Reason (2)

circuit breaker failure;

►  Corrective Methods

Overhaul of circuit breakers;

 

►  Reason (3)

1. There is a short circuit in the junction box or other accessories;

2. Mechanical damage to the electric heat tracing;

►  Corrective Methods

1. Determine where the fault is, reinstall or replace, and test with a shake meter, and determine the short circuit method as follows:

2. Whether the installation of all wiring accessories is intact and whether the waterproof seal is damaged;

3. Whether the pipe fittings have been repaired and caused damage to the electric heat tracing;

4. Whether the insulation layer is damaged or crushed;

5. Isolate each section of the electric heat trace of the line and test the fault with a shake meter;

 

►  Reason (4)

1. Mistakenly connect the two wires of the electric heat trace at the end end;

2. The insulation layer of the first and last section of the electric heat trace is thermally contracted, and the conductor is short-circuited with the pipeline or shield;

►  Corrective Methods

1. Check whether all wiring accessories are installed and whether the waterproof seal is damaged;

2. Whether the pipe fittings have been repaired and caused damage to the electric heat;

3. Whether the insulation layer is damaged or crushed;

 

►  Reason (5)

1. Excessive moisture accumulation in the junction box or accessories;

2. There are cracks in the heat trace or power supply cable and there is moisture;

►  Corrective Methods
