3.1Why refrigeration needs good electrics
Refrigeration runs around the clock, and compressors draw a heavy current every time they start. Supplies that are undersized, overloaded or poorly protected show up as nuisance tripping, failed starts and, at worst, lost stock.
- A suitable, protected supply for each unit
- Circuits sized for the starting current of the compressors
- Protection arranged so one fault does not take out every unit
- Regular checks of connections and controls
