 One page inspection key points
1. Check the sheath stripping length follow with the 3. Check any power cable not fully insert or any wire come out or not like
standard or not, should be 18-20mm below showing:

2. Check the positive and negative cable is reversed by 4. Check the RRU power connection as well should follow above standard
mistake or, also check the screws tightened at 1.4N.m (there is also logo of standard marked length) like below showing:
or not like below showing:

Root Cause Analysis :
Scenario 1: the length of Strip sheath off not enough
 The length of Strip sheath off not enough, it cause the contact surface
Of the wire decreased, So the electric resistance increase, after Long-term use of heat
lead to burn 。(Q=I²Rt , “R “ increase，lead the Q increase)

Should follow the installation standard length

Scenario 2: the loose of tighten connector or the cable exiting
after loosening
 Poor fastening of connector lead the contact surface Of the wire decreased, So the
electric resistance increase, after Long-term use of heat lead to burn 。(Q=I²Rt , “R
“ increase，lead the Q increase)

 1. Check whether the  2. check the tail of the connector that no
cable of the connector tail scorching or blackening, Whether there is
and the connector are pressure to insulation, Use standard fastening
scorching or blackening; torque 1.4N.m to check if the screw is tightened;

 4. Tighten the screws to 1.4 N·m (12.39 lbf·in.) using a torque screwdriver;

1.4 N·m

 5. Check whether the wires are securely installed. If the wires are pulled out
a bit or exposed outside the holes, remove and cut the split wires, and then
strip the sheaths and install the wires again.
