SSSaturn's 144 Volt Electrical Diagram

Here is the diagram for the 144 Volt 2/0 cables on the Saturn. This diagram includes similar routing of the cables.

Test Drive Video

Here I added a Video of the First Test Drive

Maiden Voyage

At 9 pm I called my Regina my wife and said "Wifey, head toward the shop I want to share the first test drive of the EVSaturn with you."

Almost "Smell Smoke"

I woke up this morning at 5:50 with a energy and drive one gets if something special is in the air. I feel like before this day is over I will "smell smoke".

Installing Electrical Control Panel in Vehicle

So I have the basic setup of the control panel and now I tolt it over under the hood and place it above the motor/transmission.

Working with Plexiglass

In making this Plexiglas (acrylic glass or acrylic) shield in front of the DC-DC I learned ways not to cut, trim, break, mold or work plexiglass.

More Control Panel Work

Here I mounted the Curtis Controller on the panel above the cooling fan on top of the heat exchanger with a space for the air to flow.

Building the Electrical Control Panel

Saturday Big EV work day.

Enjoyed it.

I end up spending 15 hours with the goal of getting the EV drivable and test drive around the block.

Electrical Control Board

The Electrical Control Board will hold as many electrical components as I can 'jam on it'. Sounds like a hip-hop song.

Need More Battery Pack Cables

The weekend of the 8th was busy with a Royal Ambassador hiking trip to Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park. So come Monday I returned to the long term EV Saturn project.
