Publish Time: Author: Site Editor Visit: 481

(1) Check new items in operation.

1) According to whether the load current is within the rated current of AC contactor.

2) Whether the opening and closing data signal of AC contactor is consistent with the circuit state.

3) Is the operation sound normal? Is there any charging and discharging sound due to poor contact.

4) Whether the electromagnetic induction coil is overheated, and whether the short circuit fault ring of the electromagnetic coil is abnormal.

5) Whether the arc extinguishing cover is loose or damaged.

6) Whether the auxiliary contact is ablated.

7) Is there any damage to the transmission system.

8) Does the surrounding software environment have factors that are not easy to operate, such as excessive vibration, poor natural ventilation, too much floating dust, etc.

(2) Maintenance. During the maintenance of electrical equipment, the AC contactor should be maintained at the same time.

1) External maintenance.

① Clean up the outside dust.

② Check whether the standard parts are loose, especially a part of the electrical conductor connection, to avoid touching loose and hot.

2) Maintenance of contact point system software.

① Check whether the dynamic and static contact parts are aligned, and whether the three phases are closed separately. If not, adjust the contact point spring yellow.

② Check the damage level of the contact point. The damage depth should not exceed mm. If the contact point is ablated, it needs to be replaced immediately when it falls off the welding. If it is slightly ablated, it generally does not endanger the application. It is not allowed to use sandpaper when cleaning the contact point, but a plastic file should be used.

③ Accurately measure the grounding resistance of two colors, and the resistance value shall not be less than 10m Ω.

④ Check whether the posture of the auxiliary contact is flexible, the travel arrangement of the contact point should meet the standard value, and check whether the contact point is loose. If any problem is found, repair or replace it immediately.

3) Maintenance of part of the core.

① Clean up the dust, especially between the fitness exercise components and the core suction surface.

② Check the tightening condition of the iron core. Loose iron core will increase the operation noise.

③ If the iron core short circuit fault ring falls or breaks, it should be repaired immediately.

4) Electromagnetic induction coil maintenance.

① Accurately measure the grounding resistance of the coil.

② Whether the coil insulation has discoloration and embrittlement, and the coil surface temperature shall not exceed 65 ℃.

③ Check the connection of coil wire, and repair immediately in case of open welding and ablation.

5) Maintenance of arc extinguishing hood.

① Check whether the arc extinguishing cover is damaged.

② Whether the arc extinguishing hood is loose or changed.

③ Eliminate metal particles and dirt in the gap of arc extinguishing hood.

5. The AC contactor cannot be released after the power is turned off

(1) Check whether the recoil spring yellow is too small, and replace the appropriate spring yellow.

(2) Check whether the magnetic loss is too large. For DC contactor, replace or thicken the non-magnetic gasket

When communicating with the software of AC magnetic system, a part of the polar surface of the magnetic loss gap should be filed off or the magnetic system software should be replaced.
