Whoa…all contactors will absolutely fail at some point. They do not have an infinite life span.
There’s no way there can be zero damage as it is switching high levels of DC current. Every time the device operates there will be a spark that helps to erode the surface of the contacts.
after putting this battery together I’m thinking about bottlenecks and the top end of my build.
The VESC is rated 60V 180A, so I shouldn’t go any higher than 12s or 180A.
The battery is 12s 180A, good thing that’s the limit of the VESC too so as long as I only touch that for a moment and keep under it for the majority of riding I’ll be fine.
connectors are where I see issues.
I’m only using an XT90S-F and an XT90-M between the battery and the VESC, which is rated for 90A less than the rest of the system.
Motor connectors are only MR60, if I’m pushing 90A per motor at peak output is that not 50% over the rating and no bueno? if I get new motor connectors I really want to find some that can be panel mounted.
so amass connector ratings are for continuous current? is there some math or rule of thumb to know what’s appropriate for their peak throughput, not just continuous?
also I just want something to panel mount to my enclosure so I can unplug motors when adjusting the trucks or changing mechanicals around. already ordered a set of CNLINKO LP12-6 for the hall plug
google is an extremely creepy mega-corporation that sells harvested user data to fund itself. I do not believe that thinking of google as my friend is healthy or intelligent.
You might be taking his statement a little too literally.
It merely means Google can be exploited by us to give us information as useful as what a friend might give us.
Its a figure of speech. You either want to know shit, or you don’t. You’re not always gonna have somebody around to hold your hand, and google can be an incredibly quick way to find the information you seek if you know how to use it.
Replace google with search engine of your choice if it makes you more comfortable
