Purkeys Explains the Importance of Testing the 7-Way Cable

LOWELL, Ark., Sept. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Purkeys, a company focused on providing electrical solutions for the heavy-duty trucking industry, explains the importance of testing the 7-way cable and how to do it.

It is common for fleets to have a tester in the shop that supplies power to trailer circuits to make sure everything on the trailer is working properly. When a technician performs this test and sees that the trailer lights are working, they often assume it is good to go. Problems can still occur if the truck and 7-way cable aren't tested before hitting the road.

The 7-way cord powers everything electrical on the trailer, so it is imperative to test the cord while under load. Purkeys' 7-Way Tester makes this process quick and simple; the tester will look at each circuit as it is turned on, such as the brakes or turn signals. Then the tester will automatically calculate the voltage drop and determine if the circuit is good or not.

With The 7-Way Tester, fleets have the ability to quickly and accurately test the cable and see if it is providing enough power to the trailer. A well functioning 7-way cable can lead to less CSA violations.

When it comes to commercial trucking, every issue is costly. Purkeys consults with clients to identify electrical issues and help solve issues and reduce expenses. For more information visit www.purkeys.net.
