WHY DOES AN ELEVATOR CONTROL BOARD BURN OUT?
The electrically operated vehicle that carries people and loads from one floor of a structure to another or to higher places is called an “Elevator.” As multi-story buildings have become our primary work and living spaces, elevators were produced to make our lives easier and have gradually turned into an indispensable necessity.
Like many of our other modern conveniences, elevators are products that cause no concern as long as they work, but the moment they break down, they can create enough trouble to affect the entire flow of our lives. It is particularly difficult for the elderly and the sick to go up and down high floors without an elevator.
So, why does an elevator control board burn out and why do elevators malfunction? Unfortunately, the answer to this question is the same common answer for almost every electrically operated product: voltage fluctuation. Overvoltages, known colloquially as voltage fluctuations, can occur in any system but carry a special significance for elevators. This is because, especially in elevator systems where inverters are not used, significant inrush currents occur (the excessive current load drawn during the initial movement, often seen by the dimming and brightening of lights when the system kicks in). This causes the elevator itself to fluctuate the voltage or, in technical terms, create a “peak.”
The system part known as the elevator control board ensures the operation of the elevator and the fulfillment of its functions. A minor fault in this system component will render the elevator inoperable. The biggest cause of elevator board failures is the wear and tear caused by voltage fluctuations.
What Should Be Done?
In new-generation elevators, starting and stopping movements are performed seamlessly using electronic control boards. Through the use of inverters, the drawing of excessive loads from the system during the elevator’s initial startup has been prevented. However, this time the inverters themselves are malfunctioning, and electronic board damages and failure situations in new-generation elevators are seen more frequently than before.
As in every system where electricity is used, the use of overvoltage suppressors in elevators will prevent these types of malfunctions. This will provide relief to both elevator manufacturers working on high-rise buildings and the users themselves.
Many domestic and foreign elevator manufacturers have moved the competition away from price and toward operational continuity by integrating Trimbox applications into their elevator control panels.
Simple precautions sometimes save lives. The best investment we can make for our family, our business, and our environment is protective measures. With Trimbox and GNDSeries, you can be protected from electricity-related damages and resulting electrical contact fires.
