What is the Electrical System and Control Method of the Crane

The electrical system of the crane refers to the electrical equipment and electrical components used by the crane to control and operate the crane. The electrical system of a crane usually includes motors, cables, control cabinets, sensors and other components.

The motor of the crane is the power source of the crane. Common motors include AC motors and DC motors. The motor is connected to the control cabinet through cables. The control cabinet is equipped with various electrical components, such as contactors, circuit breakers, relays, etc., which are used to control the start, stop, forward and reverse rotation of the motor.

The electrical system of the crane also includes sensors to sense and monitor the operating status of the crane. Common sensors include heavy load sensors, height sensors, tilt sensors, etc. They can monitor the load, height and tilt of the crane in real time to ensure the safe operation of the crane.

There are many ways to control cranes, the most common ones are manual control and automatic control. Manual control means that the operator controls the operation of the crane by manipulating buttons or joysticks, which can achieve operations such as lifting, moving and stopping. Automatic control refers to setting the operating parameters and paths of the crane through programming so that it can operate autonomously according to a predetermined program.
