Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the GE-910 contact and what does it do?
A: The GE-910 is a contact element for GE electric lift truck contactors. Contacts are the actual switching surfaces that make and break electrical connections in motor and solenoid circuits. The GE-910 replaces worn or burned contacts in GE EV100 series contactors.
Q: Which GE lift truck contactors use the GE-910 contact?
A: The GE-910 contact is compatible with GE EV100 series contactors including the GE IC4482CTTA154FR124XN (24VDC 150A) and GE-3006 (36VDC 300A). Confirm your contactor part number to verify the contact assembly matches your equipment.
Q: What material is the GE-910 contact made from?
A: GE-910 contacts are typically made from silver-copper alloy or copper-silver compositions designed to handle high-current switching in DC motor circuits. These materials resist arcing, pitting, and erosion better than base metals, extending contact life under continuous duty.
Q: What are signs that the GE-910 contact needs replacement?
A: Replace the GE-910 contact if you observe pitting or erosion on contact surfaces, increased contactor chatter, sluggish motor engagement, intermittent power loss during lift operations, or visible contact arcing or discoloration. Burned or melted contacts indicate immediate replacement is needed.
Q: How long do GE-910 contacts last in electric lift truck service?
A: Contact life depends on switching frequency, current load, and operating environment. Under normal warehouse lift truck duty with moderate cycling, contacts typically last 5 to 10 years. Heavy-use or high-temperature environments may require replacement sooner. Replace when wear symptoms appear rather than on a fixed schedule.
