- Frequent tripping of circuit breakers or thermal relays without apparent short-circuit reasons.
- Unstable operation of connected equipment.
Severity Classification:
- Critical: The temperature exceeds the maximum permissible for components, risk of fire, destruction of equipment, threat to life. Requires immediate shutdown and elimination.
- Severe: The temperature has increased significantly, but has not reached critical values. Shortens the service life of equipment, can lead to unexpected failures. Needs urgent diagnosis.
- Minor: The temperature is slightly higher than normal. An early indicator of potential problems, requires routine inspection and monitoring.
2. Safety measures
IMPORTANT: Working with electrical panels involves the risk of electric shock, arcing and thermal burns. Always comply with local safety regulations, standards of DSTU EN 50110-1 "Operation of electrical installations" and internal instructions of the enterprise.
BEFORE STARTING ANY WORK INSIDE THE ELECTRICAL PANEL:

5. Systematic diagnostic algorithm
This algorithm will help to consistently determine the cause of overheating. Follow the steps from the simplest to more complex measurements.
- Hot spot detection (Thermographic inspection):
- APPLICATION: Run production equipment under typical load. OBSERVE SAFETY MEASURES WHEN WORKING UNDER VOLTAGE!
- Scan all electrical panels and their components (circuit breakers, contactors, relays, connections, busbars, transformers) using a thermal imaging camera.
- Record all areas where the temperature exceeds the temperature of adjacent similar components or the environment by more than 10°C (for rapid detection) or 20°C (for critical defects).
- If no hot spots are detected, but the panel is generally overheated → go to point 2.
- If hot spots are detected → go to point 3.
- Assessment of the overall overheating of the panel:
- Measure the total temperature inside the panel and compare it with the maximum allowable (usually specified by the component manufacturer, or +10°C...+15°C above the ambient temperature, according to DSTU EN 61439-1).
- Check the efficiency of the ventilation/cooling system (operation of fans, cleanliness of filters).
- With the help of a power quality analyzer or current measuring clamps, measure the total load of the panel (phase currents).
- IF the total load exceeds the rated power of the panel or the permissible currents of the cables/devices → PROBABLE CAUSE: Overload or insufficient cooling system. Go to point 4.
- IF the load is normal, but the panel overheats → PROBABLE CAUSE: Power quality problems (harmonics, imbalance). Go to point 5.
- Hot spot analysis (after power off):
- CAUTION: POWER OFF AND LOCK (LOTO)!
- Visually inspect components and connections where hot spots (oxidation, weakening, traces of overheating) have been detected.
- Use a microohmmeter to measure the resistance of the connections. Values >100 µOhms or significantly higher than similar healthy connections indicate a problem.
- Check the tightening torque of the fasteners with a torque wrench.
- IF resistance is high, connections are loose or oxidized → PROBABLE CAUSE: Loose electrical connections or corrosion. Go to point 6.
- IF hot spot on internal part of component (eg circuit breaker case, transformer) and connection is OK → PROBABLE CAUSE: Internal component defect or harmonic/imbalance effect. Go to point 5.
- Diagnostics of overload and cooling efficiency:
- Check the compliance of cable cross sections and ratings of protective devices with actual load currents in accordance with PUE and DSTU IEC 60364.
- Assess the free space around the components and panel for natural convection.
- Check the air flow and pressure of the fans, if any.
- Diagnostics of power quality (harmonics, imbalance):
- APPLICATION: Perform measurements with the power quality analyzer on input to the panel and on outgoing lines. OBSERVE SAFETY MEASURES WHEN WORKING UNDER VOLTAGE!
- Harmonic Distortion: Measure current (THD-I) and voltage (THD-U) total harmonic distortion. According to DSTU EN 50160, THD-U should not normally exceed 8%. There are no hard limits for THD-I, but values >8-10% indicate a significant problem causing additional heating.
- Phase unbalance: Measure phase currents and voltages. Calculate the imbalance factor. An imbalance of voltages >2% or currents >5% is critical.
- Analyze sources of non-linear loads (inverters, UPS, switching power supplies).
- Inspect components for internal defects:
- CAUTION: POWER OFF AND LOCKOUT (LOTO)!
- For suspicious automatic switches, contactors, relays: visual inspection of the contacts (burning, erosion), checking the mechanism, measuring the resistance of the main contacts (for contactors).
- For transformers: checking the resistance of the windings, the absence of inter-turn circuits.

7. Analysis of the root causes of each malfunction
7.1. Loose electrical connections
Why this happens: Loose connections are one of the most common causes of overheating. This can be the result of equipment vibration, temperature cycling (expansion and contraction of metals), improper initial tightening torque during installation, or corrosion. Over time, the mechanical pressure in the contact decreases, increasing the resistance.
How to confirm: The main method is thermographic inspection, which will reveal areas with elevated temperature (ΔT > 20°C). After de-energizing, measure the resistance of the connection with a microohmmeter (resistance >100 µΩ is suspect) or check the voltage drop across the connection under load (expected <20 mV). A visual inspection may reveal oxidation, sparking or melting.
What damage does it cause: An increase in resistance leads to an increase in Joule heat (P = I²R). This heat destroys the insulation of wires and components, which can cause short circuits and fires. The contacts themselves are gradually destroyed, forming an arc discharge, which is extremely dangerous.
7.2. Electrical panel overload
Why this happens: A panel or its individual lines are overloaded when the current passing through them exceeds the rated current for which cables, circuit breakers and other components are designed. This can be caused by adding new equipment without calculating the load, changing the process that requires more power, or wrongly selecting components with insufficient bandwidth.
How to confirm: Measurement of actual load currents using a clamp meter or a power quality analyzer and comparing them with the nominal values indicated on the equipment, cables and protective devices. A current of no more than 80% of the nominal current for a long-term load is considered normal.
What damages it causes: Constant overload leads to systematic overheating of cables, which accelerates aging and destruction of their insulation. This reduces the service life of the components, triggers protection, and in the worst case, damages the equipment itself and creates a risk of fire.
7.3. Harmonic distortions
Why this happens: Harmonics are currents or voltages that have a frequency that is a multiple of the mains frequency (50 Hz). They are generated by non-linear loads, such as inverters, frequency converters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), computer switching power supplies, LED drivers. These currents are not useful, but circulate in the electrical system, creating additional heat without doing useful work.
How to confirm: Using a power quality analyzer to measure total harmonic distortion current (THD-I) and voltage (THD-U) as well as individual harmonics. According to DSTU EN 50160, THD-U at the point of common connection should not usually exceed 8%. For THD-I, the limits are more difficult, but if THD-I is >8-10%, this is a strong indication of harmonic problems.
What damage it causes: Harmonics cause additional heating of transformers, cables, motors, capacitors and busbars. They can lead to overloading of the neutral wire (especially the third harmonic and its multiples), false activation of the protection, a decrease in the efficiency of the equipment and its premature failure.
7.4. Phase imbalance
Why this happens: Phase imbalance occurs when currents or voltages in a three-phase system are unequal in magnitude or out of phase by 120 degrees. This can be caused by an uneven distribution of single-phase loads between phases, a fault in one phase of the power transformer, an open or a bad contact in one of the phases.
How to confirm: Measurement of phase currents and voltages using a power quality analyzer or three current measuring clamps. Calculation of the imbalance coefficient. According to DSTU EN 50160, the voltage imbalance at the common connection point should not exceed 2%. Current imbalance >5% is critical for three-phase motors.
What damages it causes: Phase imbalance leads to additional heating of the windings of three-phase motors and transformers, increased vibrations, which shortens their service life. Even a small current imbalance (eg 10%) can cut motor life in half due to excessive heating. It can also cause reduced efficiency and increased power consumption.
7.5. Insufficient ventilation / Cooling
Why this happens: Electric panels are designed for a certain heat dissipation. If the cooling system (natural convection, fans, air conditioners) does not cope with the dissipation of heat, or the external temperature is too high, the overall overheating of the panel occurs. The reasons can be dirty filters, faulty fans, blocked ventilation holes, incorrect placement of the panel or a change in the climatic conditions in the room.
How to confirm: Visual inspection of the panel for blocked holes, dirt and dust. Checking the operation of fans (sound, air flow). Measurement of the temperature inside the panel and the environment. Comparison with design values.
What damage it causes: General overheating accelerates the aging of the insulation of all panel components, which significantly shortens their life and increases the risk of insulation breakdown. This can lead to cascading failures, where one overheated component causes neighboring components to overheat, causing the entire system to fail.
8. Step-by-step troubleshooting procedures
8.1. Elimination of weakened electrical connections
BEFORE BEGINNING: DISCONNECT THE PANEL, PERFORM LOCKOUT (LOTO) AND CHECK FOR NO VOLTAGE!
- Visually inspect all connections detected during thermography. Pay attention to signs of oxidation, darkening, melting, deformation.
- Release the fasteners and disconnect the conductor or busbar.
- Carefully clean the contact surfaces with fine sandpaper or a special brush to a metallic shine. Use a contact cleaner if necessary.
- Make sure the cable lugs (if any) are crimped correctly. Replace damaged tips.
- Assemble the connection by tightening the fasteners (screws, nuts) with a torque wrench to the torque specified by the equipment manufacturer (for example, 8-12 Nm for M8, 18-25 Nm for M10). Always follow the specifications.
- Check after repair: After applying power and connecting the load, perform another thermographic inspection. The delta T on the repaired joint should be less than 5°C relative to the adjacent joints.
8.2. Overload adjustment
BEFORE BEGINNING: DISCONNECT PANEL, DO LOCKOUT (LOTO) AND CHECK FOR NO VOLTAGE FOR ANY INTERNAL WORK!
- Analyze power quality analyzer reports to determine exactly which lines or panel sections are overloaded.
- Load redistribution: If possible, redistribute part of the load to less loaded lines or other electrical panels.
- Process Optimization: Work with production staff to optimize processes to avoid turning on all power consumers at the same time.
- Upgrade: If redistribution is not possible, consider upgrading the electrical panel. This may include: installation of circuit breakers of a larger rating, replacement of cables with cables with a larger cross-section (in accordance with PUE, DSTU IEC 60364), or installation of additional distribution panels.
- Check after repair: After making the changes, measure the load currents and compare them with the nominal values. Make sure that the currents do not exceed 80% of the rated for long-term operation.
8.3. Elimination of harmonic distortions
BEFORE BEGINNING: DISCONNECT RELEVANT CIRCUITS, EXECUTE LOCKOUT (LOTO) AND CHECK FOR NO VOLTAGE!
- Identify the sources of harmonics using a power quality analyzer (typically frequency converters, UPS, switching power supplies).
- Installation of harmonic filters:
- Passive filters: Economical solution for constant low order harmonics. Can be installed at the source of harmonics or centrally.
- Active filters: A more flexible and efficient solution for dynamic harmonics, can compensate for a wide range of harmonics.
- Use of chokes: Installation of network chokes at the input of frequency converters to limit harmonics.
- Using K-factor transformers: To power large groups of non-linear loads, use special transformers designed for harmonic currents.
- Post-repair verification: Re-measure THD-I and THD-U with a power quality analyzer. Make sure that the values are within the permissible limits according to DSTU EN 50160 and the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer.
8.4. Correction of phase imbalance
BEFORE BEGINNING: DISCONNECT RELEVANT CIRCUITS, PERFORM LOCKOUT (LOTO) AND CHECK NO VOLTAGE FOR ANY INTERNAL WORK!
- Measure phase currents and voltages using a power quality analyzer or current clamps.
- Redistribution of loads: If the unbalance is caused by uneven distribution of single-phase loads, physically redistribute them between phases to achieve the maximum uniform current in each phase.
- Power check: If the imbalance is significant and not related to the internal distribution, check the quality of the voltage at the input to the enterprise. Perhaps the problem is on the side of the electricity supplier.
- Equipment diagnostics: For three-phase motors or transformers, check the winding resistance and the absence of inter-turn short circuits that could cause unbalance.
- Check after repair: Remeasure the phase currents and voltages. Make sure that the voltage unbalance ratio does not exceed 2% and the current unbalance is within acceptable limits (preferably <5%).
8.5. Improved ventilation and cooling
BEFORE BEGINNING: DE-POWER THE PANEL, PERFORM LOCKOUT (LOTO) AND VERIFY NO VOLTAGE BEFORE WORKING INSIDE OR WORKING WITH FANS!
- Cleaning: Thoroughly clean all ventilation holes, grills and filters from dust and dirt.
- Replacing fans: Check the functionality and performance of the fans. Replace faulty or inefficient fans.
- Additional cooling: If natural convection and existing fans are not sufficient, install additional thermostatic fans or an air conditioning system for electrical cabinets.
- Placement optimization: Provide sufficient free space around the panel for free air circulation. Make sure that hot air is removed efficiently and cold air flows in without obstruction.
- Check after repair: After making changes, monitor the temperature inside the panel under working load. The temperature should stabilize within acceptable limits.
