First Year FSAE EV HV Disconnect Placement & Junction Box Questions
First-year team working on our FSAE Electric car. We're stuck on the high voltage disconnect and junction box design.
- Battery pack is LOW - height constraint makes traditional HVD placement difficult
Specific questions:
- What techniques are you using for the actual disconnect/reconnect mechanism? Just a connector pull, or something else?
- Do you send power back and forth? (Charger to pack vs pack to controller) - how do you handle that with one disconnect point?
- Battery pack height constraint have you dealt with packaging issues that forced you to relocate the HVD? Any workarounds?
