Detailed HV Circuit Diagrams - front and back

Here is the circuit diagram for the front, basically mostly contained in the engine compartment. I have been very explicit about keeping the HV and auxiliary circuits separate whenever possible.

I have separated the components into functional circuit blocks, for FCBs, which will physically be mounted within the engine compartment. I have several candidate locations, but will wait for the front battery rack to go in before finalizing the install. Until then, I will start assembling the FCBs.



Considerably simpler than the front diagram, here is the rear circuit diagram. The only items back in the cargo area are the rear battery pack and rear FCB, containing mainly the charger. The charger AC supply will feed through the former gas tank feeder tube to the outside of the vehicle.

Note that I will have three HV cables running between the rear and front sections of the vehicle. The plan is to have these cables running along the underside of the vehicle in pvc pipe, following the path formerly used by the fuel lines which are now gone.
