I work for a waste-water company. Recently one of our clarifiers hung up on the "beach" and was damaged very badly. The torque limiters didn't stop it. The torque limiters are electrical and mechanical. Different brands and models at different locations. 36 in total.
I got a work order to check them all out and make sure that they work properly.
I can check the limit switches to make sure they are working by making them manually but have no idea of how to test them under load except chaining them off and turning them on. That could be very destructive! High gear ratio, long arms without much support. A millisecond with it chained off could cause a lot of damage!
If anyone is familiar with testing them I would really be grateful for any help!
