Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the SY52836 contactor rated for?
A: The SY52836 is a 24VDC double pole double throw (DPDT) contactor with a 100-ampere continuous current rating and 0.290 inch silver alloy contact tips. Maximum circuit voltage is 36VDC. This contactor is designed specifically for GE EV-100 series electric lift trucks.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the SY52836?
A: The SY52836 is equivalent to TVH 52836 and the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part number GE 52836. All three part numbers refer to the same 24VDC DPDT contactor with identical specifications and heavy-duty steel housing.
Q: How do I know if the SY52836 contactor needs replacement?
A: Replace the SY52836 if you experience intermittent power loss, the truck does not respond to control signals, arcing or pitting appears on the contact tips, the actuating coil does not energize at 24VDC, or the contactor chatters or clicks repeatedly during operation. These symptoms indicate contact wear or coil failure.
Q: What is the actuating coil voltage for the SY52836?
A: The SY52836 contactor uses a 24VDC actuating coil. The control signal voltage must be 24 volts DC to energize the coil and engage the power circuit. Verify your truck control system is configured for 24VDC before installation.
Q: Can the SY52836 be used in circuits above 36VDC?
A: No. The SY52836 is rated for a maximum circuit voltage of 36VDC. Using this contactor in higher voltage circuits will cause contact damage, premature wear, and potential electrical failure. Verify your truck system voltage matches this specification.
