BA LW8400604

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the electrical specifications of the BA LW8400604 contactor?
A: The BA LW8400604 is a 24VDC contactor with 150A continuous current capacity and 400A intermittent rating at 24VDC for 30 seconds. Coil voltage is 24VDC. This contactor is rated for continuous duty at its nominal voltage.

Q: What material is the BA LW8400604 housing made from?
A: The BA LW8400604 features a glass-reinforced thermoplastic base material. This construction provides electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and resistance to vibration in electric lift truck power switching applications.

Q: What contact configuration does this contactor use?
A: The BA LW8400604 is equipped with heavy-duty silver alloy contacts rated for reliable electric power switching at 150A continuous and higher intermittent loads. Silver alloy contacts provide low contact resistance and extended cycle life.

Q: Is the BA LW8400604 panel-mounted or field-mounted?
A: The BA LW8400604 is configured for panel-mount installation in electric lift truck control systems. This design simplifies integration into the power distribution assembly.

Q: Which Baker electric lift truck models use the BA LW8400604 contactor?
A: The BA LW8400604 is an OEM contactor for Baker electric lift equipment utilizing 24VDC control systems. Verify the contactor specification in your equipment electrical schematic to confirm compatibility.

Q: What is the expected service life of this contactor?
A: OEM contactors like the BA LW8400604 are rated for continuous duty service. Lifespan depends on switching frequency and load consistency. Inspect contacts periodically for pitting or erosion and replace if switching performance degrades.
