Hello, new to the site and first time poster.
I have a grounded dual element T/C that measures the bearing temperature on a reciprocating compressor. When the machine is down, the T/C reads fine at about 40 deg C. As soon as the machine starts, the T/C PV goes high indicating an open T/C. Has anyone had this happen before?
Is it possible the T/C could have a small break and when it is heated, it expands and breaks the loop? The other element is currently reading 60 Deg C with the machine running.
Thanks,
Thomas
