Another successful service call for the Hot Chilli team!
Hot Chilli was engaged to carry out the annual testing of switchboards for one of our valued clients.
During the inspection, our technician noticed a Sprecher + Schuh contactor humming loudly. With client approval, our technician investigated further and found carbon buildup on the magnetic contacts.
The system was safely isolated, the contactor was disconnected and cleaned, and all terminals were checked and tested for tightness before being reassembled and returned to service.
✅ Coil voltage checked and confirmed
✅ Carbon buildup removed
✅ Terminals inspected and tightness tested
✅ Contactor fully tested and confirmed operating safely
But the job wasn't just about getting the equipment back up and running. Our tradesman took the opportunity to walk our apprentice through the entire troubleshooting and repair process, sharing practical knowledge and experience that will help build their skills for the future.
At Hot Chilli, we believe good tradespeople aren't just made in the workshop, they're developed on the job, through experience, teamwork and sharing knowledge.
