Protected Wiring
What’s a Protected Wiring?
Protected Wiring refers to the truck’s electrical system, where all wires are run through the frame and secured for durability.
What It Does:
- Prevents wire damage from environmental exposure.
- Ensures reliable operation of truck systems.
- Reduces maintenance downtime due to electrical issues.
- Wires are zip-tied every 8" to 12" for security.
- Routed through the frame for a clean setup.
- Supports longevity in harsh highway conditions.
Available Types:
- Standard Protected Wiring – Basic setup for essential systems.
- Heavy-Duty Protected Wiring – Reinforced for extreme conditions.
- Modular Protected Wiring – Allows easy upgrades or repairs.
Additional information:
Western Highways Traffic Safety Products emphasizes the excellence of their fit and finish, and their Protected Wiring reflects this commitment by ensuring durability and reliability. This design choice is particularly important for highway trucks exposed to vibrations, weather, and debris.
The Protected Wiring likely includes weatherproofing measures, such as sealed connectors, to prevent corrosion from rain or salt used on highways during winter. This aligns with Western Highways’ focus on long-term reliability for their trucks.
Practical Application:
During a rainy highway project, the Protected Wiring ensures that the CMS Board and Radar Board continue functioning without electrical failures, keeping the work zone safe.
