Possible remedies
Check power line and correct problems Replace defective fuse with good one. Replace defective MCB with Good MCB. Replace the defective segments and wire them as before. Replace defective SSR with good working new SSR Replace the temperature
PS: In order to solve field problems temporarily, when only one segment of the heater is defective, you can short the defective segment and continue normal operation until the new heater segment is replaced at the earliest opportunity. But this option should be avoided when there is a possibility of getting an immediate replacement. Further, this option should not be carried out when more than one segment has become defective. Whenever a heater segment goes bad, especially due to ageing, it is recommended to replace the set of heaters completely. This will ensure that the current drawn by all segments will be same.
Make out a test jig as described above. Momentarily touch and remove the read lead to battery +. Then the test lamp should glow and go off. When you keep the Red lead continuously, the test lamp should light continuously. If this behavior is observed, then the SSR is OK. Else, the SSR could be faulty ( the battery should be in good working)
