4.3.6 Fitting Equipment Containing
Electric Motors
WARNING: When electric motors are to
be fitted, account must be taken of the
potentially high in rush currents that a
motor can draw.
CAUTION: The following must be
observed:
•
All motors must be driven via relays with
contacts rated at least 3 times the maximum
rated current of the motor.
•
All motor supply circuits must be individually
fused with the proper fuse rating for the motor.
•
All power wiring must be rated for at least 3
times the rating of the motor and installed as
far away as possible from any existing vehicle
wiring.
•
All motors fitted should be fully suppressed to
European or applicable local Legislation
relating to Electromagnetic Compatibility to
ensure electrical interference does not affect
the vehicle systems.
•
Add EMC emissions statement to CE approval.
4.3.7 Vehicle Electrical Capacity —
Alternator
WARNING: Do not cut into the alternator
wires. The alternator is LIN controlled. It
does not have a conventional D+ (engine
start) signal line.
4.3.8 Charge Balance Guidelines
The base vehicle is fitted with a 150A alternator.
It is recommended to conduct a charge balance
calculation in case the conversion comprises a
high number of electrical consumers or high
electrical consumption is expected.
4.3.9 Circuit Diagrams
