I had a service call where a 70 amp Square D QO breaker and loadcenter that serve as a disconnect for an electric strip heat unit had melted down and fused to each other. After installing a new breaker and loadcenter I observed that the new breaker is getting too hot. Read with a Fluke laser thermometer it reaches 120 degrees on the load side lugs of one phase. When reading the current draw with a Fluke meter, A phase reads 59 amps and B phase reads 54 amps, however the A phase is reaching 120 degrees while the B phase is at 84 degrees. The breaker is rated at 40 degrees Celsius ( 104 Fahrenheit). All connections are tight and the breaker is stabbed in correctly and making good contact. Can anyone provide any ideas as to why this is happening? I fear that the new breaker and loadcenter will melt down also. The HVAC man says there is nothing wrong with his unit.
