I am wondering if there is a temperature that indicates that a circuit breaker is overloaded. We are measuring the heat output on a circuit breaker by directing an infra red temperature sensor at it. I was told that if this reading was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit that a possible overload condition could exist. Then I was told that if it was over 120 degrees it might be carrying too much load or may have some other issue?
Please clarify for me
Thanks for your help!
Please clarify for me
- What does this circuit breaker temperature indicate?
- What are the limits on this temperature reading, if there are any?
- Should I worry about any of this?
