can be removed from the contactor by blowing with dry air that is free from lubricants.
•
Check for hairline cracks in contactors, transformer, auxiliary contact mounting bracket, etc.
9.14.1. Fuses
Fuses may occasionally require changing especially with installations where the voltage is not
consistent.
Drops in voltage can create brief periods of high amp draw, causing fuses to blow. Always
replace fuses with those of the equivalent rating with regard to: 1) amperage, 2) voltage, and 3)
speed. For instance motors are inductive loads which require time delay fuses. Electric reheat
and humidifiers are resistive loads requiring fast acting fuses.
9.14.1.1. Fuse Replacement
WARNING:
Turn OFF all electric facility power sources to the unit before
servicing or maintaining this equipment.
•
Use lock-out tag-out protection.
•
Check replacement fuse to the same size and type as the original fuse. Use only U.L. and
CSA approved fuses.
•
Open electrical control box panel.
•
Use a voltmeter to confirm there is no power to the unit.
•
Remove faulty fuse with fuse puller, fuse removal tool or equal.
•
Handle new fuse with care. Do not drop or throw.
•
Install new fuse into fuse holder.
•
Align fuse end with end of fuse holder clips.
•
Turn ON power and verify that operation has been restored.
9.15. Electric Reheat Elements
The electric reheat element is a finned enclosed, sheath type, fabricated of stainless-steel core
sheath with plated fins to withstand moist conditions. The reheat is installed on the air discharge
side of the cooling coil and has three (3) stages. The reheat can maintain room dry bulb
conditions when the system is calling for dehumidification. The reheat section includes a safety
switches to protect the system from overheating. The low-watt density elements eliminate
ionization associated with open air electric resistance heating.
Heating elements do not normally require maintenance. However, they may accumulate a film
of dust or dirt when unused for extended periods of time. When energized, the burning debris
can create smoke or an unpleasant odor. To help avoid a problem, periodic cleaning is
recommended.
9.16. Plug Fans with Electronically Commutated Motor
Plug fan(s) with Electronically Commutated (EC) motors are standard equipment on all gForce
units. Plug fan(s) with EC motors are maintenance free and only require visual inspection. The
motors are sealed, have maintenance free ball bearings and permanent lubrication. The only
acceptable service is replacement.
