Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for this GE 24VDC 100A contactor?
A: The GE 1C4482CTTA100AH124XN is rated for 100A continuous current at 24VDC coil voltage with SPST normally open configuration. It is designed for heavy-duty DC power switching in electric forklifts, pallet trucks, and stackers. The rugged industrial construction provides extended mechanical life under high-cycle operation.
Q: Which electric material handling vehicles use this 24VDC 100A contactor?
A: This contactor is compatible with 24VDC electric forklifts, pallet jacks, stackers, and reach trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM manufacturers. Typical applications include main battery disconnect, hoist motor control, and primary power circuit interruption. Verify your equipment nameplate specifies 24VDC and 100A or higher capacity before ordering.
Q: How does this contactor perform in heavy-duty switching?
A: The GE 1C4482CTTA100AH124XN handles frequent on/off cycling in industrial material handling without degradation. Its heavy-duty contact design resists pitting and contact wear. Actual performance depends on switch frequency and amperage draw. In high-cycle environments (20+ cycles per shift), inspect contacts annually for erosion.
Q: What OEM part number is this a replacement for?
A: Cross-reference with OEM part number IC4482CTTA100AH124XN. Confirm this matches your vehicle main contactor part number before ordering. Different GE contactor series (CTSA versus CTTA, different amperage ratings) are not interchangeable. Verify electrical ratings match your equipment power circuit requirements.
Q: How should I maintain this contactor to extend its lifespan?
A: Inspect contact surfaces annually for pitting, erosion, or discoloration. Check for corrosion on terminals and coil connectors, especially in wet or salt-spray environments. Clean contacts with a dry cloth or light abrasive if light oxidation appears. Replace if contacts show deep pitting, if switching becomes sluggish, or if coil resistance drops below acceptable levels. Preventive replacement every 3-5 years under heavy use prevents unexpected downtime.
