3140 tripping the breaker . . .
blue moon:
we have what I believe to be the first generation of the 3140 (made in 97) and it is tripping a breaker. It used to do it right after striking, but am told is doing it mid run now too. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?
thanx,
pierre

Could just be a weak breaker or loose connection. Personally I would tighten all the connections first, no cure swap breakers before go looking for something else.

thanx! swapped the breaker already. Maybe the one I put in is old too. Would not be the first time a used part was not good. I'll try that.

Everytime a breaker trips it becomes weaker. If it still breaks a brand new breaker definetely get it figured out or else you'll just be replacing expensive breakers often.
JBLUE:
Is it a dedicated run only to the exposure unit? I have an older model too and we had to run a dedicated plug to it. If anyone plugged something in it would trip it mid run. Once we ran a dedicated plug to it, it has not happened since.
We found that the root of our problem was degraded wiring from the age of the building.
