Common CLU Connector Failures

The document discusses common points of failure in BBU cooling systems. [1] The main cooling components are fan units and thermoelectric coolers using Peltier modules. [2] Loose connections in the connectors supplying power to these components can cause overheating from high current dissipation. [3] This overheating damages the connectors over time in a recurring cycle and eventually burns them out. The document examines connectors for signs of overheating and determines the fans are likely not the source of failures since their connectors show no damage.

CLU for the BBU6102 Common

problem

Common point of failure in most of the problem found

Principal of Active cooling

HTS HQ R&D 6
Common point of failure for most of the CLUs
This connector is for the Thermoelectric cooler and the current withdraw is stable for the thermoelectrical
HTS HQ R&D 7
In case of over current the
electronic board must show sign
of high current on the board first
And on the SMD components
solder on the input of the board
related to the connector
Based on the most common point
of failure it seems that the
connector is creating this failure
Electrically :If he have loose
connection inside any connector
this looseness lead to high
current dissipation between the
male and female then this
looseness lead to high temp
dissipation that lead to burn the
connector and cable

To check if the CLU can work under


high temperature environment may
this lead also to failure due to
continuous working not as designed
HTS HQ R&D 8
and the weak point Is the connector
Overheated or Burned Out Connector

Since metal serves as an excellent conductor of heat, as well as electricity, the wires leading from the connector can carry the
heat from the bad connector, corrode the wires and cause more physical deterioration. Burned connections typically happen
as a “snowball” effect. As the connection deteriorates it gets hotter. The heat accelerates the physical deterioration which in
turn produces more heat, causing more destruction. This process continues until the entire connection is completely burned
out and disabled. When the electrical current begins to run again the heat will increase, creating a new cycle of deterioration
and causing the connector to melt or burn out again.

These above connection are the Fans connections
And there is no sign of any high current or damage
This lead that no problem from Fan

if there is any sign of burns in these connector we can directly refer to


bad maintenance and bad cleaning for theHTSFans
HQ R&D 10
Also based on the /// manual there is a fuse for the over current 20A

So if there any over current the protective fuse will blow up
