Understanding the Tesla Model S | Power Electronics ( 4 )



Tesla Model 3


The fourth explanation of this lesson,so we now have our two cables from the charge receptacle plugged in all right now let's look at the output here of this charger module okay so these two holes on this side of our onboard charger module is the output for our DC power and they remember we just plugged in an external charger to charge the battery they need to somehow connect to the battery

Method for connecting cables to the battery:

so let me show you the next uh two cables that plug in here and how they connect to the battery and then we'll make the connection okay the two cables that go from the onboard charger module to the battery to charge it have to go through here are the two cables they have to go through this part right here called the rapid splitter split splitter the rapid splitter brings the two cables in from the onboard charger and it connects them directly to these two big terminals right here that plug into the top of the battery now if you look at this photo right here from a used battery on ebay you can see right where they plug in there's a guide pin right here there's another little tiny pin right here it's probably an interlock circuit or maybe a common chassis ground between the two i don't know i once again i don't have a schematic in the tesla service information that I've seen doesn't show schematics this box just think of it as a giant junction block it has it it has the connection to the battery so think of these two terminals as being connected directly to the battery this one here on the left is battery negative one on the right is battery positive so those two connect to these two cables the one with the black tape on its battery negative the one with the red tape on it is battery positive and so that comes directly from the charger but then here on the other side of the rapid splitter we have a big long connection that goes to our rear drive unit the rear electric motors inverter and then we have a really long uh set of cables that goes clear up to the front of the vehicle where there are all kinds of parts up front that we have to go look at ​and connect them to this same cable assembly but I just wanted to quickly take this cover off to show you that this is nothing more than just a junction block there's no fuses in here so we have battery negative coming in over here on the left, it comes right up this insulated uh bus bar and then goes back out where we have battery negative over here and battery negative down here and it goes straight out the back to the battery negative going to the onboard charger module and then battery positive comes straight up back behind connects right here to this cable for the inverter to the lower cable to go up front and straight out the back to go to the onboard charger module so this is called the rapid splitter I think it's because it allows the battery to be lowered down and rapidly split or disconnected I don't know that's just my best guess as to why it's called the rapid splitter but I know when you go back up in everything has to be aligned just perfectly from some of the videos I've seen with disastrous results if they weren't aligned so that is the next high voltage component here the rapid splitter .

The way the rent distributor works:

so we have two cables from the onboard charger module to the rapid splitter they're about 41 inches long just a little over a meter 1.04 meters in length now let's connect them to the onboard charger module and then we'll move down the line and connect everything else the negative cable output goes in the bottom hole over here okay now that we've got the cables from the onboard charger module to the rapid splitter connected I'm going to put the cover back on the onboard charger module because these cables actually fold and go back over the top of the onboard charger module in the vehicle so I'm just going to set this on here I won't bolt it down I broke my little cover here headed on and off too many times we'll put this other cover on this big cover does not need to be removed to change to disconnect and reconnect these cables just this little cover and the little plastic covers inside so that's going to sit just right there so I'm going to position this the way it is positioned in our vehicle under the back seat so if this is the front of the car this is the back and our see the fourth explanation of this fifth,rapid splitter right here actually sits.

The new second generation of 100% electric vehicles

MG electric car Hello, ladies and gentlemen. A real show floor like the Geneva Motor Show is perhaps the best way to present a brand new car andbusiness objectives to the press and the public. Current times however challenge everybody to be creative. Luckily, we like to do things just a little bit different at MG.  This is why we have invited you again to an exciting and specialvirtual announcement today here in the House of MG. MG Motor Europe this year: In just a few minutes, we will give an update on theambitious new steps MG Motor Europe is taking this year. Believe me, MG is here to stay! But first for those who don’t know me yet. I’m Mike Belinfante, and I’m theSenior Manager PR for MG Motor Europe. I will host this exciting announcement event for you,together with our CEO, Mr. Matt Lei. We have asked for your attention, because we have a lot ofgreat news to share with you. MG will grow all over Europe and we want to update youon our expanding business. Last December, when we vi

Understanding the Tesla Model S | Power Electronics ( 2 )

Power Electronics   Continue the explanation of the first lesson to fully understand the idea. You can see the big poster here that says 48 amps means that 48 amps is the maximum power this can take from the second level AC charger that you connect to a Tesla destination charger and 48 amps is double the 240 volts at the destination Tesla Cha will give us a rger of 11520 watts or 11.52 kilowatts of charge that this unit can provide for the high-voltage battery. Explanation of installing connections:  So let's take a look at the connections around this thing. We have the coolant inlet port here on the passenger side. If you look at this article from under the passenger seat of your Tesla , you can see that we have a logical low voltage connection here. We have the coolant hose actually coming from. The inverter set on the engine and the drive unit underneath the car and then that passes through the big heatsink here and exits this side and then goes up to the front of the car on th

Understanding the Tesla Model S | Power Electronics ( 6 )

  electric car Explanation No. 6 in this lesson,right part number but it's   it's very similar uh i uh this information is at pyroswitch.com you can go look at the different   pyro switches that are made by auto leave but anyway I thought it was very interesting i   totally disassembled this yesterday and then put it back together as you can see in these   photos . New console top performance: it has a little circuit board it has a shunt circuit a parallel current circuit   uh where it appears to be watching the amount of current going through the pyro switch so this is a   pyroswitch made by auto leave there's a circuit monitoring the current going through it and   once the current going through it reaches some predetermined level I don't know what that is   uh on the press release for the p90d it said 1500 amps but the P100D is even more powerful so it   it probably has a higher rating but as soon as it gets to whatever rating tesla has decided   it's going to cap
