Vehicles, equipment and machinery operate in all different types of extreme environmental conditions – one common situation is high heat. Whether it’s a mining vehicle operating in the middle of summer or industrial heating equipment, it’s important to have a high-temperature wiring harness built to withstand the strain of these challenging environments. Not only will it ensure your equipment remains reliable and productive, a high-temperature wiring harness also offers a variety of other benefits.
Improved Efficiency & Energy Consumption
When operating in extreme heat conditions, your vehicle or equipment will have internal cooling systems, such as fans or cooling pads, that are used to control and lower the temperature of the machinery to keep it from overheating and failing. Running these components requires more energy and, depending on the equipment, fuel. When using a high-temperature wiring harness, you reduce the amount of heat being generated within the equipment and therefore the burden on the cooling systems. This helps save on fuel and energy consumption, while also improving efficiency.
Reduced Heat
Not only can a high-temperature wiring harness withstand extremely hot conditions, they can also help to reduce the amount of heat produced within your equipment, especially when custom made. Having too many wires, even if they are temperature resistant, can cause a lack of airflow in your machinery. This inability to cool properly can lead to malfunctions and even be a safety concern. A custom-built high-temperature wire harness allows you to ensure your solution is built to optimise the space within your vehicle or equipment and allow natural heat dissipation. With your carefully designed wire harness you can help improve airflow and ventilation, avoiding any issues that come with overheating.
Less Maintenance
While maintenance is inevitable with all equipment and vehicles, the amount of time you spend repairing and servicing can be reduced with the right wire harness. When the incorrect harness is used in extreme conditions, issues like cracking, melting and breakage can become a common occurrence, costing you time and money dealing with consistent breakdowns and loss of productivity. Using a high-temperature wire harness for equipment operating in challenging environments can help reduce the probability of these issues occurring, meaning you spend more time getting the job done and less trying to manage delays and setbacks
Enhanced Safety
When electrics start to overheat, short circuiting and electrical fires become a real hazard issue. This can not only affect and damage your equipment or vehicles, it can also put your workers at risk. Ensuring your machinery uses appropriate high-temperature wiring harnesses if operating under extreme conditions can help to minimise the risk of these hazards occurring and keep your employees safe at work.
