Measures to prevent electric forklift circuit wiring harness from burning

Electric forklift, as the name implies, is a forklift with a battery as the core controller! In addition, in order to give electric forklifts more functions, and to achieve these functions, more wiring harnesses are often needed to control. So, once the electric forklift works for a long time or high temperature weather is foreseen, it is necessary to prevent the electric forklift circuit wiring harness from burning.

1. In use, it is often found that the wiring on some electric forklifts is messy, with more excess wires and exposed thread ends, and random wiring of wires is also common. As a result, the entire vehicle line is chaotic, which often causes man-made circuit faults, which are difficult to find. In severe cases, a grounding short circuit may occur, burning electrical equipment and wiring harnesses, causing fire accidents, and directly affecting the safe operation of the forklift.

2. When repairing the wiring harness of the forklift circuit, you must follow the repair specifications and arrange the standard wiring in accordance with the wire color, code and number of the forklift low-voltage line. Never connect the power cord separately when the fault is not resolved, or when a certain line segment is damaged. , Regardless of the color, regardless of thickness, change the line at will, which will artificially cause the whole vehicle's circuit wiring harness to be confused and the consequences of increased failure. Before replacing the fuse, you should turn off all electrical equipment and ignition switches, and replace them according to regulations.


3. If the replaced fuse is blown again, it means there is a short circuit in the system, and it should be carefully checked and the fault removed before replacement. For forklifts with a main power switch, turn off the main power switch after stopping and turning off the fire. Regularly check, maintain and adjust the main line fuse, and replace with new parts if necessary.

Electric forklift circuit failures are mostly hidden and caused by wires. Common circuit burns are mostly caused by short-circuit grounding of forklift power lines, and their power lines do not use short-circuit overload protection devices.
