Connections Elife-Drive on the front has different types of connectors: High Power Connections The three-phase alternating-current generated by Elife-Drive is supplied through the U,V,W terminals. are the positive and negative terminals to connect to your battery. You must connect an external fuse between the terminal and the positive battery terminal.
High Power Connections High power connections are provided by: 3-phase supply terminals (U,V,W) and two terminals for battery connections (B+,B-). In order to connect correctly Elife-Drive, you should use the following instructions: Connect the the battery negative cable to the terminal.

2.3.1 Standalone Mode The Standalone mode is divided into two specific functions, traction motor control and steering motor control. The logic of this mode is to be able to drive the motor independently via the main inputs dedicated to the two specific functions. Other optional inputs can be used to extend the functionality of these operating modes (See Table 2.3).
