Electrical Repairs For An Industrial Bridge Crane

Electrical Repairs For An Industrial Bridge Crane
There are so many issues to look for when diagnosing electrical repairs for an industrial bridge crane. Here is a start to finish outline. This is how we at crane tech earn your trust. Starting with a phone call we ask all of the questions about what the crane is doing or not doing, from there we send a technician to the site to check for any electrical repairs. First we check the control buttons. Is the pendant operating properly? Are the buttons in good repair or are they smashed? Is the emergency stop working? Are the remote control relays ok? The technician will then check important operating issues. Is the crane single phasing? Is one of the collector shoes knocked off the bus bar? Are the voltages reading 600 volts at the bus bar? Is there a shorted wire and if so where? Often the repair is more involved. Did a 120 volt coil burn on a contactor? Is the contactor working properly? The transformer? We check the brake. Is the brake releasing properly? Is the rectifier working properly? Next is the motor. Is the resistance across phases the same? Is one phase grounding or shorting out? The team will discuss the issues. Our tech’s will not pull a motor until we are absolutely sure that the motor has a burnt winding or a short. When it is a motor issue, we will get pricing on a new motor and it’s availability. The motor can usually be rebuilt quicker and for a better price than new, we will quote the options for you in order to choose the best motor option. We are committed to having your crane up and running as quickly as possible. And we are very successful at good customer service.
