An area technical operations manager (atom) reported that an aquabplus 2500 had no power.
They reported that the system would not turn on in the morning.
This occurred prior to any patients beginning their treatments, and therefore, there was no patient involvement.
Although some treatments were delayed, there were no missed treatments.
Upon further inspection of the machine, thermal damage was found on the l2 cable connected to the motor protection switch.
The atom stated the l2 cable was badly burnt, and l1 and l3 were discolored.
In addition, l2 was found to be loose.
The atom stated it was not securely connected to the switch.
Furthermore, it was found that the main fuse on the electrical outlet (where power is supplied to stage 1) was blown.
The atom also noticed that the middle light was out on the surge protector (not a vivonic part) installed next to the main power outlet.
The atom was unsure if this was related to the motor protection switch failure, however, they stated that all three lights are supposed to illuminate (green).
To resolve the reported issue, the motor protection switch and cables were replaced.
The damaged parts were reportedly returned for manufacturer evaluation.
There were no further issues reported with the system after the repair.
