Front HV Box
As part of my safety upgrades I’m making an enclosed front box that will contain all the HV connections except the Raptor and Motor. It’s a 12″ square by 6″ deep junction box. A plastic tray will hold all the parts then it will bolt to the box with a space below for all the bolts. This minimizes the number of holes drilled into the box the keep it watertight.
-
- Installed 1″ couplers to lift the layout tray so bolts could extend through
-
- Layout of the negative contactor and ammeter
-
- Front 5 regulators mounted. This will be the only LV item in the box so they are waterproofed.
-
- Close up of the mounting feet for the regulators in the HV box.
-
- Metal plates I cut for under the circuit breaker. I wanted them bigger to spread the load and not stress the 1/4″ plastic.
-
- Top metal hold down for the circuit breaker. I overtightened a little and bent the metal.
-
- In the box. Need to bolt the box to the car then the tray to the box.
