A treadmill repeatedly trips its dedicated 20A circuit breaker under normal load. The most likely cause is:
- AA console programming error in the speed settings
- BExcessive current draw from a failing motor, high belt-deck friction, or an overloaded circuit
- CIncorrect elevation angle programmed into the console
- DA faulty speed sensor causing incorrect RPM readings
Correct Answer
Excessive current draw from a failing motor, high belt-deck friction, or an overloaded circuit
Explanation
Repeated circuit breaker trips indicate a sustained overcurrent condition. Check whether the circuit is shared with other loads first, then investigate belt friction, motor condition, and MCB output current.
