Winch Relay: Description and Operation
Winch Relay Pack - Description
DESCRIPTION
RELAY PACK
Electrical operation of the control assembly consists of four heavy duty relays, a thermal-switch located on the motor armature brush holder and a Low
Voltage Interrupt (LVI) located in the control assembly. The thermal-switch interrupts the power-in function and the LVI affects both the power-in and
power-out functions and must be reset by allowing the charging circuit voltage to rise above 10 volts for more than 30 seconds. The thermal switch is
reset only by allowing the winch motor to cool adequately (about 30 minutes). Relay number 1 and 3 control current flow through the field windings and
relay number 2 and 4 supply current to the motor armature.
