Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the GE 125A4255G1 contact used for?
A: The GE 125A4255G1 is an electrical contact component designed for electric lift truck control systems, motor contactors, and relay assemblies. It functions as a conductor switching element in motor control and circuit protection circuits.
Q: What lift truck brands use the GE 125A4255G1 contact?
A: The GE 125A4255G1 contact is compatible with electric lift trucks and industrial equipment from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other manufacturers that use GE electrical control components in their charging and motor circuits.
Q: How do I know if a contact needs replacement?
A: Worn or failed contacts cause intermittent electrical connections, no-start conditions, weak motor response, or complete circuit failure. Common failure signs include visible pitting or erosion on contact surfaces, high electrical resistance, or audible arcing when circuits engage.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of electrical contacts?
A: Contact lifespan depends on switching duty cycle, current load, and application environment. Heavy-use electric trucks may require contact replacement every 2 to 5 years. Light-duty equipment may extend contact life to 5 to 10 years between replacements.
Q: Can the GE 125A4255G1 be cleaned and reused?
A: Mildly oxidized contacts may be cleaned with fine abrasive material to restore temporary conductivity. However, heavily pitted or eroded contacts should be replaced, not reused. Replacement ensures reliable circuit operation and prevents unexpected equipment downtime in production environments.
