Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does DPDT mean, and why is the TO 00591-30736-81 configured this way?
A: DPDT stands for double-pole double-throw. This means the contactor has two independent switching circuits (poles), each capable of reversing connections (double-throw). This configuration is ideal for directional control in lift trucks, allowing the contactor to reverse polarity to the drive motor, enabling forward and reverse motion without additional relay logic.
Q: What is the current rating and coil voltage of this unit?
A: The TO 00591-30736-81 is rated for 150 amperes continuous duty at 24VDC. The control coil also operates at 24VDC nominal. This unit handles the same current level as the TO 00591-30732-81 but provides direction reversal capability for bidirectional motor control in electric lift trucks.
Q: Is this contactor compatible with GE EV100 control logic?
A: Yes. The TO 00591-30736-81 is engineered to be compatible with GE EV100 control logic. While it is a Toyota OEM part, the EV100 series represents an industry-standard control architecture. However, verify your specific control board revision and contactor pinout before substitution, as some variations exist across model years.
Q: What materials are the contacts made from?
A: This contactor features heavy-duty copper contacts with silver alloy construction. The thermoset body (plastic molded frame) insulates the coil and provides mechanical support. Copper-silver contacts handle high switching currents reliably and resist pitting and wear better than standard copper contacts.
Q: How should this contactor be mounted?
A: The TO 00591-30736-81 is panel-mounted with fastener provisions per Toyota EV100 system specifications. It can be mounted in either vertical or horizontal orientation as specified by GE control logic. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, secure all fasteners properly, and verify clearance for wiring connections.
Q: What lift truck models use the TO 00591-30736-81?
A: This contactor is used in Toyota electric lift trucks requiring directional control, including walkie stackers, sit-down riders, and reach trucks equipped with EV100 control systems. The DPDT configuration is essential for systems where forward-reverse motor control is necessary. Verify your model and serial number before ordering.
