Ok....I am not an electrical person and this is basically all copied and pasted from an email i recieved about our breaker problems...this may help some people...
![]() ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've picked two of the five breakers as being much better performers, these two >go about 45% longer at 120 amps, compared to the worst breakers. > >COLD SPRAY WORKS >Precooling the breaker provides 60% more duration on the first power cycle. >This rises to 120% more duration on repeated power cycles at 5 minute intervals >(to simulate the high cycle rate found in finals competition). Bottom-line: a >10 second blast of cold spray will restore the breaker to its original >performance even if it has just been overloaded. Where do we get more of this >stuff. I've used my only can during this test? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Suspend our best circuit breaker by the 6 ga. wire and 2-4 strips of latex tubing, directly between the battery and the power panel 2. Possibly move the power panel closer to the battery (or the battery closer to the power panel) so we can cut down the length of 6 ga. wire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ok....it's me again.....i know our final solution to our problem was that we did some electrical work...mounted the breaker onto a flexible/bouncy kind of V shaped lexan strip...and we really use the Cold Spray.... ![]() |
