How do I know if my cable goes bad?
Melt systems, whether AC or DC, vary greatly in their respective diagnostic capabilities. If however, the melt system’s power cables and/or bus assembly is weakening conductor resistance will increase, and full power cannot be achieved. Elevated coolant temperatures in the system can be an indication of increased resistance as well. In such cases, we recommend removing your melt system power cable for further inspection/evaluation.

How do I know if my induction cable goes bad?
If the melt system’s induction cable is weakening, conductor resistance will increase, and the system will not be able to draw full power.
Elevated coolant temperatures in the system can be an indication of increased resistance as well. In such cases, we recommend removing your induction power cable for further inspection/evaluation. We’d be happy to perform a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation for you!
This applies to the following types of water-cooled power cables:
- Induction cable
