Re: Electrical Information

Where to start ... Here are a few tips for startes:
  1. Label your wires
  2. Keep power & motor cables short
  3. Use proper gauge wires for rated circuits (consult FRC manual)
  4. Label your wires
  5. Use proper wire strippers when removing insulation so as not to remove wire strands
  6. twist wire strands before inserting them into the PDB cage clamp terminals (prevents whiskers trom touching other circuits)
  7. Did I mention to label your wires?
  8. Route wires in a logical fashion and tie them down with zip ties
  9. Don't run power wires and PWM cables in one wire bundle
