| Although this disconnect switch feeding a bank of power correcting capacitors was not considered critical equipment, the fire that could have resulted from this fault would be considered catastrophic! The temperature at the switch contacts was over 350F. Notice that the contacts are still closed, yet the handle is in the open position. The contacts were welded closed! The temperature on the top of the enclosure measured over 150F. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
