Thermal circuit breaker 20A

Thermal circuit breaker 20A for MAJOR CYCLONE TYPHON2 TORNADE sanders

The Thermal circuit breaker 20A in the motor part of the sander is an electrical safety component whose function is to protect the motor from overheating and prevent any risk of electrical overload. Here are its main functions and the wear points to watch out for:

Function of the 20A thermal circuit breaker :

1. Protection against overheating: The thermal circuit breaker monitors the temperature of the sander motor. When the temperature rises above a safe level due to prolonged use or overload, the circuit breaker automatically cuts off the power supply to prevent the motor from overheating.

2. Electrical overload protection: In addition to thermal protection, the 20A circuit breaker limits the electrical current supplied to the motor. If the motor is subjected to an electrical overload, the circuit breaker may also trip to prevent damage to the motor or electrical components.

Wear points to look out for on the 20A thermal circuit breaker :

1. Frequent tripping: A thermal circuit breaker that trips frequently may indicate an underlying problem, such as excessive motor overheating. This may be due to prolonged use or recurrent overloading.

2. Malfunction : Thermal circuit breakers can also wear out or deteriorate over time, leading to malfunction. For example, they may not trip when the motor temperature rises above the safety limit.

When is it necessary to change the 20A thermal circuit breaker?

The 20A thermal circuit breaker should be changed in the following situations:

1. If the circuit breaker trips frequently and this cannot be attributed to normal use of the sander, it may be necessary to check the motor and electrical components for any underlying problems.

2. If the circuit breaker is not working correctly, it must be replaced to ensure the safety of the motor and the user. A faulty circuit-breaker may cause the motor to overheat or result in an electrical overload.

It is advisable to contact the Repex Floor manufacturer for specific recommendations regarding maintenance and replacement of the 20A thermal circuit breaker. In general, it is essential to follow a regular maintenance programme to ensure the correct operation of this part and the safety of the sander.
