What are the causes of electric water heater tripping?
There are several reasons for the water heater trip1, wire aging led to the water heater trip.2 、 heating pipe leakage, please replace the heating pipe of professional water heater maintenance personnel. Heating pipe leakage reasons: water heater scale is too thick, resulting in water heater burst pipe, water into the quartz sand layer, resulting in leakage of water heater trip. Judge method: use the multimeter to measure the resistance, if the resistance becomes smaller, it will prove that the heating pipe leakage; regular cleaning of the water heater, and replace the heater tube in time.3, the water heater power is too large.
Third is the water heater has water mist cause trip, but the circuit breaker choice, but because of water mist reasons, when the circuit breaker leakage reaches the 30MA current, will trip.Here also add a little knowledge: if the water heater circuit breaker in the heating water instantaneous tripping occurs, is caused by short-circuit. In the start process, tripping is caused by overload.So, you always trip reason may be in the water heater short-circuit factor is more, may have leakage.
Second reason is the load, a simple example of water heater if the line current is 20A, and the frame current water heater control circuit breaker 16A, access to the water heater, the normal line, but for the water heater control circuit breaker has obvious overload, it will cause the circuit breaker has been tripping. About the water heater load trip, the most common is that in our daily life, the current leakage caused by excessive circuit breaker trip. Generally speaking, tripping due to load should not occur, and the parameters such as rated current of the line should be known when the model is selected.
Water heater trips generally have two main causes of trippingThe first is short circuited. Water heaters are such products if they are prone to a similar situation in a humid environment.
