If these symptoms spotted, identify and reduce the source of corrosion. Consult your power plant operator and consider switching to stainless steel electrical enclosure.
Rust spots – Visible rust stains or oxidation around metal junction boxes, conduit, and panel covers signifies corrosion.
Swelling or cracks – Water can make enclosures swell or crack over time leading to serious structural issues.
Corroded wiring – Moisture causes copper wiring to oxidize, reducing conductivity and overheating connections.
Shocks – Corroded surfaces conduct electricity easier leading to potential shocks from exposed metal.
Fire hazard – Severe corrosion can degrade connections leading to short circuits, arcing faults or even open flames inside panels.
