How should crawler crane deal with thunderstorm weather

Feb 26,2022

1. Lower the height of the whole machine

The boom of the crane is relatively high, especially in the open area. The erected boom is like the discharge needle of the earth, which is very easy to induce lightning. Therefore, lay the boom to the ground or to the lowest state under the allowable conditions to reduce the impact of the crane. The probability of a direct strike by lightning.

2. Turn off the flame and disconnect the main power switch

Turn off the engine of the vehicle and turn off the main power switch to cut off the power of all electrical components of the vehicle and avoid the formation of a loop.

3. Unplug the controller

By unplugging the controller, the key electrical components such as the controller can be physically isolated from the electrical system of the whole machine, preventing the passage of high current and voltage and protecting the controller.

4. Lightning protection grounding

The installation of lightning protection grounding device can keep the crawler crane well grounded. When the high voltage formed by lightning is superimposed on the crawler crane body, the grounding system can quickly release the voltage higher than the safe operation of the control system, keeping the whole vehicle at an equipotential body, will not cause local high voltage to damage the control system components.
