Buss Assembly

FURNACE BUSS ASSEMBLY IN MAIN TRANSFORMER VAULT WHERE IT CONNECTS TO TRANSFORMER. The thermogram shows a hot spot on the third bar from the where the buss bars connect to the transformer. If you notice there is a discoloration of this bar compared to the others possibly caused by the higher temperatures. Down time cost on this furnace runs about $5,000 dollars an hour. If the buss bar were to blow, the turn around time on repairs usually runs any where from 24 to 36 hours. So just for the furnace downtime not counting parts and labor it would run around $120,000 to $180,000 dollars.
