The issue

NOTE: LOW-FLOOR BUSES EQUIPPED WITH SHURE-POWER INDUSTRIES MODEL 52107 VOLTAGE EQUALIZERS. A SHORT CIRCUIT COULD OCCUR IN AN INTERNAL COMPONENT OF THE VOLTAGE EQUALIZER WHICH MAY INDUCE MELTING OF THE 24 VOLT INPUT POST. THIS COULD IN TURN CAUSE A 24 VOLT BATTERY CABLE TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE STRUCTURE AND OVERHEAT TO THE POINT OF IGNITING A FIRE IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. CORRECTION: A PROTECTION MODULE WILL BE INSTALLED DIRECTLY ON THE 12 AND 24 VOLT INPUT POSTS OF THE VOLTAGE EQUALIZER.

Il peut se produire, dans un composant interne du régulateur de tension, un court-circuit qui pourrait faire fondre la borne d’entrée de 24 volts. Il se pourrait alors que le câble de 24 volts de la batterie touche à la structure du véhicule et surchauffe au point de provoquer un incendie dans le compartiment de la batterie.Correction : Un module de protection devra être installé directement sur les bornes d’entrée de 12 et 24 volts du régulateur de tension.
