Electrical Inquiry

Are we allowed to run electrical wiring from the distrubution block straight to a circuit breaker panel or do we have to go through the gold maxi style breaker panel?

Re: Electrical Inquiry

According to the electrical diagram, you can connect the breaker pannel right to the power distribution block. You do not have to go through the gold maxi block.

Re: Electrical Inquiry

Green,
The wiring diagram in the Tips and Guidelines and the robot electrical diagram show the high current motors running through 40 amp breakers on the gold Maxi block. The smaller breaker panel is wired to the distro block in the same fashion. Please note that the high current returns should go back to the black side of the distro panel.

Re: Electrical Inquiry

Jay, I thought not, but Derek told me not to go through the gold breaker and the I saw your post on delphi.

We'll need more 4 AWG wire, so pick some up from work.
