TM 10-4610-232-34Table 2-1. Direct Support Troubleshooting Guide (Continued)MALFUNCTIONTEST OR INSPECTIONCORRECTIVE ACTION7. Raw water pump circuit breaker trips repeatedly, raw water ground fault trips repeatedly. (Ref. schematic diagramFO-1, sheet 5, schematic Iines 532-537).NOTEThis problem is hard to pin point directly as the two circuit breakers are electrically tiedtogether so that what affects one will usually trip the other even though each is sensingdifferent levels of short circuit. The direct-acting circuit breaker will only trip whenovercurrents exceed its setpoint, such as a direct bolted short circuit. By contrast, anarcing short circuit may amount to only a fraction of the direct-acting circuit breakersetpoint and not cause it to trip. Arcing faults are typically caused by loose connections,the presence of vermin, rodents, and insects in equipment, or insulation deterioration asa result of mechanical damage, heat, aging, moisture, dust, and other contaminants.Since the arcing type fault usually involves a flow of current in the ground path, theground fault circuit breaker monitors the ground circuit for current flow. When it sensescurrent in the ground circuit it will trip and also trip out the pump circuit breaker. Underother circuit conditions: balanced, unbalanced, or single-phase load currents, or singleor three phase short circuits not involving ground, it will not trip even though the pumpbreaker does. For these reasons the following troubleshooting steps are very generaland success in isolating the problem relies on the electrician to carefully inspect allcables, connectors, and connections for signs of damage or moisture intrusion. In somecases only the substitution of known reliable components will identify the cause.Step 1. Shutdown ROWPU and generator. Refer to electrical drawings in Appendix D. Check all connections on theground fault interrupt (GFI 1) (REF: Interconnection diagram FO-2, Sheet 13), the current sensor (CS1) (REF:Interconnection diagram FO-2, Sheet 10), and the CB4 (REF: Interconnection diagram FO-2, Sheet 10) shuntwires for tightness.(a) Tighten any loose wires.(b) Refer to para. 2-24 and follow the procedures for testing the ground fault relay.Step 2. If none of the above checks reveal the problem, do the following in the order shown.(a) Replace GFI 1 and CS1 (para. 2-25).(b) Replace CB4 (para. 2-24).8. Raw water pump circuit breaker will not reset, raw water pump ground fault will not reset. (Ref. Schematic diagramFO-1, sheet 5, schematic lines 532-537).Step 1. Check raw water pump ground fault reset switch.Reset the ground fault and then reset the raw water pump circuit breaker.Step 2. Shut down ROWPU and generator. Refer to electrical drawings in Appendix D and replace circuit breakerCB4 (REF: Interconnection diagram FO-2, Sheet 10) if it will not stay set.Reset the raw water pump circuit breaker.Step 3. Remove wires #204 and #2B from GFI 1 (REF: Interconnection diagram FO-2, Sheet 13). Check continuity,point-to-point, from transformer T1(X1) (REF: Interconnection diagram FO-2, Sheet 10) to wire #204. Repeatthe procedure from T1(X2) to wire #2B.(a) Repair any loose or damaged wire (para. 2-20).(b) Replace circuit breakers CB7 (REF: Interconnection diagram FO-2, Sheet 8) if open (para. 2-23).(c) Replace switch PB3 (REF: Interconnection diagram FO-2, Sheet 11) if open (para. 2-22).(d) If all the above checks are okay, replace GFI 1 (para. 2-24).Change 1 2-45
