9. Confirm the isolator is open (i.e. no battery current can flow) and double check steps 1-7 before connecting the relay coil wires to the contactor as per Figure 6. 48kW EDE Electric Drive Kit Electric Drive Engineering...
If the system is correctly installed, a loud click should be heard from the contactor and the green LED on the controller should be constantly lit. If this is not the case, the system should be powered down and the above checks repeated. 48kW EDE Electric Drive Kit Electric Drive Engineering...
• Keep all the motor phase cables as close together as practical in the routing from controller to motor. • Route DC conductors side by side. • Always use proper grounding and shielding in the remainder of the system. 48kW EDE Electric Drive Kit Electric Drive Engineering...
