Chapter 2 Electrical Considerations Electrostatic Build-up One common characteristic of forklifts is the possibility of producing high lev- els of electrostatic voltage. Static is created by the wheels as they move about the floor and can also be generated when an operator slides on or off of a vehi- cle's cloth-covered seat. Static buildup on the forklift frame can be as high as several thousand volts (see Figure 2). At these levels of high voltage, a discharge can cause severe damage to ele
Краткое содержание страницы № 12
Electrical Considerations Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps The recommended method of reducing static buildup is to install ground con- tacting anti-static straps or conductors to the frame of the forklift (refer to Fig- ure 3). Contact your forklift parts provider for availability. Figure 3. Installing Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps It is recommended that more than one strap be installed on each vehicle to help eliminate or reduce the potential for static

Electrical Considerations Electrical System Connections This section covers electrical connection to +12V, +24V, +36V and +48V sys- tems. Proper installation requires that source power connections be made directly to the vehicle's positive and negative battery terminals. It is important to maintain electrical isolation when installing the powered vehicle dock and any accessory equipment, to ensure safe and proper operation. Do not make any electrical CAUTION connections directly to the chassis o

Electrical System Connections Connection to +24V, +36V and +48V Systems Figure 5 illustrates a wiring diagram for +24, +36 and +48 volt systems. The use of a DC/DC converter is required to step down the battery voltage for use by the terminal. Proper installation requires that source power connections be made directly to the vehicle's positive and negative battery terminals. It is important to maintain electrical isolation when installing the PVD and any accessory equipment, to ensure safe and
