% Q1 c  s# ?. K' UTwo  cutler –hammer advantage  starters are  doing the same thing:
! o* t+ j! c, T After start 2-3 times, they will quit working, if you toggle the  start and stop buttons on DCS screen  , you will get another 2-3 running before they quit working again.
It is a cycle.

1 v" A9 C' d, Z5 B. sWe isolate the network control and use the local start and stop only, the problem remains.
/ c: y. N& S" j: K7 wSwap one of the defective buckets with a good one, the new bucket works fine.
The problem should be inside the bucket.

! L5 m0 U+ |! Y, Q3 v$ j) rWhen the problem happened, we observed that  the contactor has a pulling action but will not seal.
Use a terminating screw divers to push in the contactor, it will not seal either.
. t( N# T, e" ]Confirm with TECH support this should be a problem with the control circuit board inside the advantage starter, we  bought two new control circuit boards and replaced the old ones, the problem is still the same.

They  have a fork to pinch inside the two leads to make connection, it is not a good design at all. We soldered  the connection and tried again.
$ p* e0 X+ J! c2 C4 m3 z! n! @ It is getting better  this time, we have 7-8 times of running before it quit working.

有时候主接触点太脏，也会造成启动器无法正常工作

Don't know cutler –hammer advantage  starters very well, but had been worked on AB switch gears for a little while, which has two different coils, one to pull the vacum bottles up which employs larger current, another one uses less current to hold the connection---if the second coil fails, it won't be able to seal the connection.

也想到这一点，不过这是新装的设备。
检查过触点没问题。
