Why is POWEReasy showing a warning?

Your location has minor arc associated with possible loose connection and exposed wires. These warnings are an early diagnostic tool for issue that can lead to major arcing related faults and fires risks.

 

When do you need to fix this and why?

The loose connection issue is often time mixed with equipment start up currents. It is intended that if these warnings are appearing repeatedly and during times of when motors are not operational it must be resolved at the first daily shutdown. If the warnings are appearing at startup of specific loads or during specific times of the day these can be acted on during the planned weekly shutdown. Early diagnosis and fixing of these warnings can help improve reliability of the site and reduce arcing related faults.
