Re: Replacement Contacts for Citicar


Tim Dunning
 

Hi,
I'm not sure if you are looking for the parallel/series contactor for Commuta
-Car, but I think I have a unit that may be just that in my junk box. I will
not be able to look for it until Friday, but will let you know what it seems
to be.
Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for the info Ross. I just found out tonight that the contacts
for the citicar and the comutacar are different! My comutacar
contacts have a much longer t section where the wiring connects. I
have had no luck so far finding a dealer with contacts. I found a
fork lift company on the internet with a on line catalogue and found
a match for 1 of the stationary contacts. I had never noticed that
there is a right and left contact. each contact has a "flag" section
that is larger on opposite sides. This is the area where the ceramic
spacer mounts. The online catalogue has measurements which matched my
1 contact exactly, just need to match the other 1, so far cannot find
it.
I will contact the company tommorow, and hopefully find a match.
When I get the proper contacts, I will post the part numbers.
Hopefully, then no 1 will have to go through the crap I have gone
through trying to locate contacts for the contactor.
Take Care All,
Louie (aka Electric Lou) LoL

Well this is what we found out.
The replacements we found were identical to the old parts.
Oddly
they were from a brand new contactor assembly, so new the forklift
parts guy could
only find one distributor that had started selling them. They were
made by Caterpillar or Daewoo and we found them in an Entroupa
Parts
Catalogue.
Every distributor had a different ID number on them, of which there
were about 12. Since the contactor assembly used on the Citicar
was
made by HB
electric, also search under HB Prestolite.
Our 300 amp fuse is good as new so we haven't had to look for
any.
Somehow we want to include a fuse between the batteries and the
contactor incase
of problems.
