Thunderstruck Motors Ground Fault Monitor GFM 2.0 HVIL Isolation Monitor

james — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 09:21:20 +0000

Thunderstruck Motors Ground Fault Monitor GFM 2.0 measures the isolation between an
electrical system ground and a separate High Voltage (HV) isolated system. It is designed for use
in a wide range of Electric Vehicle (EV) systems and is highly configurable.
The GFM measures isolation between the two systems by applying a known resistance between
the low voltage ground and both HV buses (positive and negative) in an alternating sequence,
then measuring the very small resulting current. The advanced measurement algorithm allows
the GFM to make accurate measurements in rapidly changing and noisy systems. The isolation
measurement is reported in several forms: fault resistance, ohms/volt, and average fault
location. Symmetrical, asymmetrical, intermittent, and capacitive faults can all be measured by
the system.
The GFM intelligently uses measured isolation metrics to evaluate two configurable fault
thresholds (warning and fault). The GFM has two outputs that may be configured to represent
these faults, allowing an operator to create warning lights and system interlocks. The present
state of the fault, the number of occurrences, and the history of each fault is available to the
user. These fault conditions, as well as all measurements, are available over CAN bus using sID
(standard ID) and eID (extended ID) based protocols

Features:

Rapid and accurate isolation measurement
Highly configurable
Wide voltage range (30-500V)
Fault location detection
2x programmable outputs
1x CAN Bus
All measurements and information available over CAN bus
CAN control of isolation measurement

Dilithium Design Electric Vehicle EV Display for Master Control Unit MCU

james — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 11:53:55 +0000

Dilithium Design Electric Vehicle EV Display for Master Control Unit MCU is extremely handy for showing pack voltage, current and kW, average cell voltage and variation, state of charge, and battery temperature.

For use with the Dilithium Design Master Control Unit (MCU)

A Hall Sensor provides realtime current and state of charge (coulomb counting). Available sensors include options for current up to 1000 Amps. See the Current Sensor page for details and availability.

Analog gauges can be set up with the MCU to show state of charge and other system information (see the “Manuals & Downloads” tab for more information).

Actual display area is 65mm tall by 50mm wide, plus the black bezel for a total size of 100mm x 75mm. The bezel is glass, with 2-sided tape on the back for permanent panel attachment. The display has an exposed circuit board in the rear, and should be enclosed if exposed to moisture or dirt.

Dilithium Design Master Control Unit MCU

james — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 03:11:35 +0000

Thunderstruck’s Dilithium Design Master Control Unit (MCU), combines features of the BMSC, EVCC all in one conveniently sized unit. This device controls battery charging, cell management, and display functions. It has 5 programmable inputs and 5 programmable outputs, two CANbus interfaces, and two IsoSPI interfaces that connect to BMS measurement units. The MCU supports existing 24-cell BMS Satellite units. The MCU also handles charging communication protocol for Type 1 (J1772) and Type 2 (Mennekes) ensuring safe charging and throttle interlock drive away protection.

The new MCU display (purchased separately) shows

Pack State Of Charge (SOC)
kilo watts to and from the pack
Current to and from the pack
cell voltage
cell temperature
Faults and Alerts

The Dilithium Design MCU boasts a great new feature which we are very excited about: it supports CAN capable Speedhut gauges for fuel State of Charge, pack current, pack voltage, and temperature. Speedhut CAN capable gauges are fully customisable allowing either factory look install or an all-out custom look!

The MCU has been designed as an expandable platform, with additional features planned for future upgrades. The MCU case is a 4.1 x 2.65 x 1.1 inch plastic enclosure with mounting flanges.
