Chronology :

On February 2, 2022, a customer notified Altec that a service technician had identified that the generator circuit on an AT200A unit was rated at 30-amps with a connected 20-amp GFCI receptacle. The GFCI receptacle circuit does not have a circuit breaker installed to open the circuit when an overload of the circuit is detected.

After being notified, Altec reviewed production records. On May 3, 2022, a potential field action was opened to further evaluate customer work practice, the risk to workers, and determine what Models were affected and the field population of those units. On June 24, 2022, Altec determined that a potential defect was present in a certain field population and determined that a field campaign was required. There have been no warranty claims or other field reports identified. There have been no accidents, injuries, or deaths related to this issue.
