Weather Protection for Outdoor Temporary Charging Points

Many logistics yards, construction sites and outdoor operation bases need to set up temporary charging points for electric forklifts to support long-duration outdoor operation. These exposed charging facilities are easily affected by different weather conditions including heavy rain, high temperature, dust storm and heavy dew, which may lead to hidden safety risks if no proper protection measures are taken. First of all, site selection should avoid low-lying areas prone to water accumulation, and it is recommended to choose a hardened ground with relatively high terrain, and reserve reasonable drainage channels around the area to prevent rainwater from flowing into the equipment area during rainstorms. For the charging facilities, it is recommended to install qualified rainproof and sunshade covers as auxiliary protection, all exposed circuits should meet the corresponding waterproof protection level requirements, and the charging ports should be covered with professional dust and waterproof covers when not in use. Do not disassemble the original sealing structure of the charging equipment without permission. In hot summer days, operators need to monitor the operating temperature of charging equipment regularly, do not stack flammable and combustible sundries around the facilities, avoid direct long-time sunlight on the device shell to prevent overheating of internal components. You can also adjust the charging schedule properly to avoid the highest temperature period at noon in extreme hot weather. In areas with heavy floating dust, after strong wind and sand weather, you need to clean the dust and debris on the surface of the equipment in time, check whether the ventilation and heat dissipation openings are blocked, and confirm that no sand enters the charging interface before starting the next charging operation. For daily operation and maintenance, arrange special personnel to conduct regular patrol inspection, and carry out a full inspection of charging lines, equipment shell and grounding device after every severe weather, make sure there is no damage, looseness or water ingress before restoring normal use, so as to avoid safety risks such as electric leakage and short circuit.
