Damaged wire in a hay conveyor, anomaly detected

A wire fell onto a hay conveyor and stretched to its maximum, before cutting another wire supplying a ventilation fan. This type of incident can quickly lead to a breakdown, equipment shutdown, or overheating, which is why it is important to act as soon as an electrical anomaly is detected.

What happened

• Wire fell onto the hay conveyor.

• Wire stretched to its breaking point.

• Another wire was cut, affecting the power supply to a ventilation fan.

  
  

Why this is critical

A damaged cable near moving equipment increases the risk of short circuit, tripped breakers, breakdown, and in some cases, overheating. In an agricultural building, a conveyor that stops functioning can also have a significant operational impact.
