Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does GE-800 contain and what is 1rec?
A: The GE-800 is a repair or restoration kit for GE electric lift truck contactors. The 1rec designation indicates it contains one complete rectifier assembly or rectifier element used in control circuit applications. Verify your contactor model requires this specific rectifier kit before ordering.
Q: Which GE contactors and lift truck models use the GE-800 kit?
A: The GE-800 kit is designed for GE EV100 series contactors commonly found on Crown, Toyota, and Raymond electric lift trucks. Confirm your contactor or control system part number to verify compatibility with this rectifier kit.
Q: What is a rectifier and why might a GE-800 kit be needed?
A: A rectifier converts AC or rippled voltage signals in the control circuit. The GE-800 kit replaces failed or degraded rectifier elements that cause erratic contactor operation, intermittent control failures, or relay chatter. Replace if the lift truck control circuit shows inconsistent switching.
Q: What are signs that the rectifier element in the GE-800 kit has failed?
A: Failure signs include intermittent contactor chatter, delayed contactor engagement, loss of motor control responsiveness, or complete control circuit failure. These symptoms indicate the rectifier in your contactor cannot properly convert or stabilize the control voltage.
Q: How often should the GE-800 rectifier kit be replaced?
A: Rectifiers do not have a fixed replacement interval. Replace only when failure symptoms appear. Rectifiers typically last the lifetime of the contactor under normal operating conditions but may fail sooner in high-temperature or high-vibration warehouse environments.
