Red Suzi (1982 Suzuki Sierra)
11kW industrial AC motor with 30kW Danfoss controller and 12kWh of sealed lead acid. 40km range 82kmph top speed. see www.evalbum/1149
Front junction boxes. Water and dust resistant probably IP55 or so all up. No exposed terminals or even fuses. International electrical hazard labelling. All the control and 12V aux charging comes via these boxes and centre of traction battery pack connects to chassis and motor body via 75A fuses in clear box. Sorry, only +-12V inside any of these boxes.
The higher voltages only come together at the Danfoss in the back.
Underbody conduits at rear of vehicle 6 of... -96V, front battery box charger lines, +96V, protective ground, comms to front junction boxes and 12V from DC-DC to aux battery, 11kW motor feed. The build to +-288V is at the rear battery boxes. Wiring is 6 square mm copper.
Original motor fan replaced with 2 x 120mm 12V fans.The original motor fans are designed for bi directional rotation at the sync speed so poor performers and no fan at low revs (where it is most needed) and closer to a siren than fan at high revs.
The original fan cowling and body cooling fins are well designed. The air flows neatly along the whole body travelling in the slots of the cooling fins. Well done somebody at ABB !
