Wiring Harness

[UVicFormulaHybrid]

Context

The wiring harness of our car routes low voltage wiring to the cars powered components:

• MABX controller
• Front power pcb
• Rear power pcb
• AMS

Power is routed from the AMS to the isolation board and IMD. Power is routed from the rear power distribution board to the ICE system.

This project will require a project proposal after initial research is completed and method of modelling harness is determined.

Outcomes

We need a BOM and wiring diagram for the wiring harness.

The BOM should contain the following for each wire:

• Pin labels
• Gauge
• Length

The diagram should clearly show what sections of the harness are routed where.

Constraints

This is a critical task in getting our vehicle ready for testing. Deadline for design is Jan 5th 2017. Deadline for fabrication and installation is Jan 19th 2017.

Related Issues

Altium schematic will be provided as soon as FPD, RPD, AMS, Isolation, Telemetry systems are solidified with respect to their connections.

Wire destinations will also be provided at this time.

Steps to reproduce behavior

• Research various wiring harness softwares.
• Look into Siemens add on for Solidworks
• Learn to route wires, produce appropriate BOM and diagrams

Once data is available continue with final modelling of harness

• Route wires in the 2015 Frame CAD model
• Create BOM etc.
