Re: Driver station power

I am talking about a 2000 watt inverter connected to a car battery, breakered and fused. I am willing to place every safety feature possible, like current watch and temp watch. In my current schematic, I am having 250 amp MOSFETs powering everything so if too high of a current is detected, an automatic shutdown of that component for a set amount of time. It will also have a display and a usb-serial plug to the driver station and control EVERYTHING, even the power TO the motor drivers (victors)

EDIT: I am also thinking of placing the battery inside an ABS holder, because of it's resistance to acid spills. We would smell a spill before it becomes too late.
