The motor controller is built into an aluminimum box that came already pre-wired and tested by Marco Lorey. It is mounted into the controller_frame, so that the controller's heat sink is well ventilated.

Below, for orientation only, a clipping of the wiring diagram. It will not indicate the peers of all connections, and it may be outdated. Please refer to wiring_diagram for a comprehensive and uptodate view.

The large black box is the motor controller itself. Supply from the traction battery is switched via a small relay that drives the large contactor. The three orange 50mm² gauge wires connect to the motor.

Between contactor and controller, there is an ANL type fuse holder that holds the main fuse (equipped only on the second photo).

The motor controller can be configured via an external hand-held device. This device allows to modify a set of parameters, that widely determine the controller's characteristics.
