Circuit breakers
Circuit breakers are safety devices that open a circuit
when the current flow reaches a certain level. This helps to
prevent components from being damaged by the high cur-
rent flow.
A circuit breaker is basically a switch. When current
flows through a circuit, it creates heat. The higher the cur-
rent flow, the more heat that is created. As current flows
through a circuit breaker the contacts heat up. If the cur-
rent heats the contacts enough, they will release the piece
used to jump across the contacts. That will open the circuit
and prevent current flow.
Some circuit breakers are self resetting, meaning that
as they cool down, the circuit is closed. The circuit breaker
on this snow thrower has a manual reset function. That
means that a button has to be pushed in to restore the
connection between the contacts. The circuit breaker may
have to cool down for a few minutes before the breaker
can be reset. See Figure 2.10.
To test a circuit breaker
1.
Let the circuit breaker cool down for at least five
minutes and reset the breaker.
NOTE:
If the circuit breaker will not reset, unplug
the wires from the breaker and let it cool
down for five minutes. If it still will not reset,
the breaker is bad and must be replaced.
2.
If not already done, remove the circuit breaker from
the circuit by unplugging the two wires.
NOTE:
See the switch box section of this chapter
for the steps to open the switch box assem-
bly.
3.
Check for continuity between the two tangs.
See Figure 2.11.
NOTE:
If there is no continuity between the two
tangs, the breaker is bad and must be
replaced.
NOTE:
The part number for just the circuit breaker
is 725-05221.
