I'm super glad you're showing all the gory details of building with a project someone else designed and yet another person started. TBH, it makes the conversion process look like hell. I'm hoping I can do a similar conversion to our 56 MGA in a few years with less individual wiring/crimping/spaghetti plumbing. That's not a knock, it's just an overwhelming number of places for something to go wrong even after it's run in. I appreciate you're doing a great job with a system that has split packs and lots of discrete parts in the design.

An e-bike with a potential of 80 miles on a charge? Wow! The LONGEST pedal-bike ride I ever take is roughly 112 miles, so this bike is a must-try for anyone on the island of O'ahu! I hope I won't need a driver's license to run this; I let my useless license expire ages ago... I also adore this MGA conversion! Just watching you have and use the proper TOOLS to do the job is poetry! Nothing janky to see here. Finally...I love watching your dog visiting you "on the set." Very heartwarming! Hau'oli la hanau, pup-pup! Much aloha to all of you!

For troubleshooting failed precharge, I would start by disconnecting HV accessories. Sometimes these accessories like DC-DC, heaters, chargers, AC compressors, etc. try to start operating and consuming power while precharge is in progress, causing the precharge sequence to fail. As for the isolation resistance issue, if you are seeing 0.1G ohm that's 100 Meg ohms, 100,000,000 ohms. Searching the internet, a large EV OEM opens it's contactors on an isolation fault of 7.5Kohms/V of battery voltage (assuming 400V pack). So if your pack voltage was 120V, that would be 900K ohms (0.9M), and you are measuring 100M correct? The more stuff you plug in, the lower your isolation resistance will measure. Also, be mindful of what voltage level you are injecting into the system to check isolation resistance. Isolation meters usually have voltage ranges of 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500 or 5,000V. Don't exceed the voltage range that the component manufacturer recommends to test at. If you can't find that info, then a rule of thumb would be no more than 2X rated voltage, so for a 120V system, that would be 250V. Too high of a test voltage could damage components in the HV system.
@ElmarBon Ай бұрын
The low resistance he measures was 0.1 megaohm, not giga. 26:58
@ElectricSuperCar Ай бұрын
0.1 mega ohms. 144V pack
@bjcouche1 Ай бұрын
Ah. my mistake, I watched the video again. Indeed measured 100K not 100M. 100K would be cause for concern, as at 144V that would be (144/100000) 1.4mA of leakage current. The HV battery seems to measure good, so with the HV battery disconnected, measure the isolation resistance of the HVJB again, both + to chassis and - to chassis but with a regular ohm meter, not an isolation tester. 100K is well within the capabilities of a regular ohm meter measurement. A regular ohm meter will use LOW voltage to measure the resistance. Having resistance measurements from both types of meters will tell you if you have a constant resistance to ground, or one that only breaks down under high voltage. Sometimes that info can be helpful. Also, if the vehicle isolation monitoring is done in the HVJB and not the battery BMS, an active isolation monitoring system can cause low isolation readings. Try disconnecting low voltage from the HVJB and test again if that's the case. I know if you have the in vehicle isolation monitoring enabled while you try to DC fast charge, the DC fast charger will fault on an isolation fault because the DC fast charger has it's own isolation monitoring system. Only 1 monitoring system can be enabled at a time. Barring that, you might be stuck tearing the HVJB apart and testing the individual components inside.

For that low voltage isolator ground connection, my first thought was cover it with some liquid electrical tape? It is a rubberized coating that you can brush on that will prevent a short if something touches it, but you should still be able to unscrew that screw if you need to.

Good job on raising the battery box!, and good to know the wires weren't in the permanent place. They look meh close, maybe a crossbar or some sort of metal cover for the wires would be a good idea incase the suspension shifts. Also, is there any short to ground from the wires themselves?, you have good resistance to ground without wiring, and bad resistance with wiring... any part of the wires being grounded or going to another module that has ground?, or some other potentially damaged wires? Just a thought. Encouragement: Always a good day to watch your video updates!!! Keep up the good work!, I notice you have a rather robust attitude about possible setbacks or challenges - as you already know that is priceless, especially when doing something on your own.

Hey Jeremy, your videos are great. Keep it up! You are doing a great job troubleshooting those electrical gremlins and showing your process. I also like that you are using the correct HV rated tools and PPE 👏. On that isolation loss issue, when the HVPDU is disconnected, did you confirm that there is an isolation loss between the HV terminals and case? If so, then I would look for a short to ground near one of the HV connectors inside the HVPDU. It could be a single loose copper strand from an HV cables or some chafed insulation in there. I know you will figure it out soon and I’m looking forward to the resolution in a future video.

Maybe you mixed up a couple of wires either in the loom or in the box electronics when connecting the plugs? No shorts, are you sure the electronics are functioning correctly? Missing wire? Maybe tear everything out and try connecting the whole lot without the car in the way? Makes inspecting stuff a lot easier.....
