Examining the result2260 viewsHere we are looking at the result, and finding that the motors had NOT pressed far enough into the coupler.
We had a 1/2" of extra space to deal with.
We were going to just add a 1/2" spacer, until we did some measuring, and found that the motors were NOT coupled straight. There was a definite wobble.
Bolting coupler together3756 viewsWe hadn't realized just how difficult it was going to be to tighten the bolts holding the coupler together. It was really awkward and hard. Took 2 people. (one turning the motor, the other holding the allen wrench.)
This was compouned when we discovered another alignment problem. Turns out that the end bells of the Impulse 9 motors aren't that accurately machine. We had a 10-20 thousandths variance between them that we had to shim.
Flywheel adapter - finishing with the lathe2512 viewsFinished the lathe work, just needs drilling now.
Flywheel adapter - drilling holes2620 viewsDrilling and tapping the holes to bolt it to the flywheel.
Motor-Motor mount access holes2459 viewsIt was interesting putting the access holes in the mount.
Motors Wired4256 viewsI wired the motors to the Z2K using 4/0 cable.
Notice that I don't like exposed High Voltage connections. Couldn't do much about the 1000A shunt though.
Motor wiring, parallel3319 viewsThis shows how I originally wired the 2 motors in parallel to the Z2K controller.

Truck wiring conduit5080 viewsSome of the DC conduit runs under the truck.May 29, 2009
Cables into bed6656 viewsThis shows how I mounted and protected the cables that run from the front of the truck into the bed.
All under-truck cables are in some kind of conduit, or have a shield between them and the ground.May 29, 2009
Breaker Boxes4648 viewsThe black box on the left has 3 Airpax 250A DC breakers. These will have a bar bolted to their handles so they all switch together.
The other box has the 2 breakers for the charging system.May 29, 2009
Rear Battery box in truck6147 viewsThis is the rear Battery Box that will hold 42 Golf Cart batteries in the bed of the truck.
(Someday when hitech batteries are reasonably priced, I'll remove this and mount the pack under the bed.)May 29, 2009
