Generally, tripping is mainly caused by three reasons: overcurrent, short circuit and leakage.
Just turn it on Instant electric water heater The tripping is basically caused by overcurrent. Generally speaking, the actual current exceeds the rated current. If the load is overloaded, the tripping will occur naturally.
But why is it that there was no problem in using it before, but recently it has cooled down and overflowed? Could this be a problem of product quality?
Winter use Instant water heater Tripping is mainly caused by power change.
Most of the instant heating types on the market at present Intelligent thermostatic water heater When in use, the operating power will be automatically adjusted with the change of water inlet temperature.
In spring, summer and autumn, the water temperature of tap water is relatively high. Generally, the instantaneous water heater only needs 4000-6000W power. In winter, as the temperature decreases, the water temperature also decreases, the water heater will automatically adjust to the power of 8000W when running, and the current will naturally increase as the power increases. Once the current increases to exceed the rated current of the line or air switch, it will trip.
Is it impossible to use instant intelligent thermostatic water heater in winter?
Of course not. It depends on whether the power, current and circuit settings of your product meet the requirements.
Generally, 8500W instantaneous intelligent thermostatic water heater should use 4 square meters of lines, and 10000W instantaneous water heater should use 6 square meters of lines. If your special line connected to the water heater does not meet this standard, it will naturally cause over-current tripping. In this case, you can only choose to change the line or replace the low-power water heater.
However, if the special line connecting the instantaneous intelligent thermostatic water heater in your home meets the requirements, you should specifically see which gate is tripped.
1. Trip the machine brake
The machine brake is installed in the instant heating type Electric water heater Next to the air switch. If the machine brake trips, it is generally because the rated current of the machine brake installed in your home is less than 40A (that is, the figure behind C in the figure below), which does not meet the installation standards.
Solution: Replace the 40A or 50A air switch. If you are unwilling to change the switch, replace it with a small power water heater.
2. Trip opening
If the opening is only connected to the instant electric water heater, you only need to replace the air switch with the rated current corresponding to the power of the instant intelligent thermostatic water heater; However, if the opening is also connected to other electrical appliances, it is necessary to replace a larger air switch, such as 50A or 63A.
3. Trip the main switch
Generally, the rated current of the home main switch is 63A. If the main switch will trip when the instantaneous intelligent thermostatic water heater is turned on, it means that you have also turned on other high-power appliances. In this case, either replace a larger air switch, such as an 80A one, or avoid using two high-power appliances at the same time.
