Serious findings on ST-BY equipment


This Thermal Image show a poor contact on the main connection to a UPS battery bank. The loss of efficiency from the battery bank during an emergency may be critical. Overtemp. on images varies from 1 ºC to 10 ºC

Add some poor connections on the battery’s (in a serial connection) and the problem is growing (and accelerating) when the battery bank is most needed to be at a full capacity.
