Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which makes and models is the AL SW180B-36 compatible with?
A: The AL SW180B-36 is compatible with Albright, Toyota, Crown, Hyster, Raymond, Nichiyu, JCB, and Jungheinrich electric lift trucks.
Q: What materials are used to ensure durability?
A: The AL SW180B-36 is constructed with durable materials designed for long-term use in demanding environments. Its contacts are made from silver alloy, which enhances conductivity and ensures reliable performance over time.
Q: How do I know when to replace the AL SW180B-36?
A: Replace the AL SW180B-36 if it shows signs of wear, such as arcing or failure to operate properly. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify when replacement is necessary.
Q: Does the AL SW180B-36 include magnetic blowouts?
A: Yes, the AL SW180B-36 includes magnetic blowouts. These are designed for high-current DC interruption and polarity-sensitive applications, enhancing arc quenching and fault-breaking capacity.
Q: What contact design does the AL SW180B-36 use?
A: The AL SW180B-36 features single-pole, normally open, double-break contacts with silver alloy tips. This design increases contact separation distance and improves arc extinction during switching events.
