Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting

Circuit breakers keep tripping.

Remedial Action

First: If this is a new installation, does it meet the requirements outlined under Electrical Requirements on Page 34? If not, you may be tripping a building circuit breaker because your supply line is inadequate. Call your local electrician and have the correct line installed.

Second: Is there any consistent pattern to when the circuit breaker trips? For example, does it happen only when you are using cooling? This can give you a clue as to where in the ICU the problem lies. Examine the components and wiring associated with that system and look for loose connections, worn or damaged wiring, etc.

Third: Is your area subject to power surges or wide variations in the incoming power supply? If this is the case, you may want to consider the installation of a power conditioner.

Fourth: If these actions do not resolve the problem, call SSCI Customer Service at (800) 323-7366, or a qualified electrician.
