Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the DC182L-SKD contact kit designed to do?
A: The DC182L-SKD is an industrial contact kit for Albright DC182 Series reversing contactors. It provides replacement double breaking silver alloy tips rated at 200A continuous and 400A peak capacity.
Q: What voltage range does the DC182L-SKD contact kit support?
A: The DC182L-SKD is rated for 6 to 80VDC circuits. This range covers standard 12VDC and 24VDC coil options commonly found in electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment circuit voltage before ordering.
Q: Is the DC182L-SKD a direct replacement for the DC182L?
A: Yes. The DC182L-SKD replaces the DC182L and DC182B. It also supersedes the SW182. Cross-check your current contactor model against these part numbers to confirm compatibility.
Q: What material are the DC182L-SKD contacts made from?
A: The DC182L-SKD features double breaking silver alloy contact tips. Silver alloy provides superior electrical conductivity and durability compared to copper. These contacts resist oxidation and maintain low resistance during heavy cycling.
Q: How often should DC182L-SKD contacts be inspected or replaced?
A: Contact wear depends on switching frequency and load current. Inspect the DC182L-SKD contacts every 6 to 12 months if the equipment cycles daily. Replace contacts if surfaces show pitting, erosion, or burn marks that exceed 10% of original contact face area.
Q: What is the continuous current rating for the DC182L-SKD?
A: The DC182L-SKD contact kit is rated at 200A continuous duty. Peak fault current breaking capacity is 400A. Do not exceed the continuous rating in sustained applications.
