It appears the coupling has failed or is out of alignment.

In this CVM, a torpedo ladle full of molten steel is monitored for refractory breakdown. If the refractory lining breaks down, the steel could melt through the skin of the vessel. A blowout can be disastrous, as the temperature of molten steel is in excess of 1000 degrees C.


A\C unit overheated and shut down after running for aproximately 30 min. After visual inspection from ground level maintenance was unable to pin-point trouble.


This cable to busbar connection feeding a pump is excessively hot and needs attention.


240V 110A breaker feeds LAN rooms.
Load Reading A=65 B=95 N=84
B phase exceeds 80% ampacity and temperature exceeds breaker rating.

Infrared Thermography is a SAFE and effective way to verify, or check acid tank levels. Infrared can also be used on various other liquid, and solids tanks.


Note high temperatures present in the left thermogram. Second thermogram presumably after repair or alignment.
