Power Distribution: Operation: Notes

POWER AND WIRING 

The electrical system is designed to increase the vehicles safety level and prevent the possibility of fires and other consequences of electrical malfunctions. State-of-the-art connectors have been introduced to rule out the possibility of many connection defects.

The power distribution is supplied via control units and/or fuses, connected to the control elements (relay pressure transducers) to ensure the highest level of power protection and the minimum degree of wiring complexity.

The main security solutions are adopted:

• Power supply protection by MAXIFUSE for the interruption of the electrical system, in case of short circuit
• The lay-out of the entire system is optimized for the reduction of risk of damage in case of damage or accident
• The laying of the cables has been optimized by reducing incorrect placements, and noise due to vibration
• All cables are high abrasion resistance
• In the engine compartment cables are of special, high temperature resistance and are protected with sheaths or pipes
• The cables in the passenger compartment are protected by corrugated tubes and tapes with micro-fleece to reduce noise
• The main connections are equipped with anti-slip device terminals (secondary lock) and a safety lock (lock lever) which avoids any deformation of the terminals

All systems and electrical systems are supplied by the battery with the voltage of 12 V. The battery in turn is recharged during operation of the generator.

The main supply lines are protected by a MAXIFUSE contained in the box on the positive battery terminal.

Some circuits employ "J-House" fuses: this is a cartridge type fuse with the characteristics to ensure a lower voltage drop for the protection of circuits that absorb high current.

Other circuits are fed by putting the ignition in different positions.
