Water on 66 and 110 Blocks

[jdrive]

We had a sprinkler system go off in one of our wiring closets. All of the 110 and 66 blocks were soaked. Is there anything I can do to prevent corrosion? Should I use an electrical contact cleaner?

assuming its fixed I would hit them with a heat source , hair dryer comes to mind or a heat gun as long as you didnt get them to hot

CRC makes several products that will remove moisture and keep them from corrosion. I have used it about 5 years ago on a water leak and have not had the first bit of troubles. This ran down 3 floors and over 600 copper pairs.

Page 22 has some inhibitors. I would (the best I remember I did) call their technical support guys and ask them what is best.

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.

WD-40 I have used it several times and it workes fine.

The "WD" in WD-40 reportedly stands for "Water Displacement". I've seen it used on water-logged distributor caps and quite successfully.

The quickest way to stop any corrosion and electrolysis is to de-energize all the cables so no current is flowing. Then use whatever measures are appropriate to remove the water from the equipment, compressed air, WD40...

Hope this helps!

If you do use WD-40, use it slightly or you'll get a gummy residue after it evaporates.
