In the posts about turning the high volt on and off to the motor controller the next to the last post shows the precharge resistor on the battery side of the contactor instead of the motor controller side of the contactor. I thought the whole idea of a step start was to put some of the power around the contactor so the contactor didn't slam shut with the whole traction pack voltage on it at one time. Which is right? I may be going crazy but I think some of the grey matter still works. Maybe not!!!!Bill

Bill,

For some reason the graphics are not showing up on my computer. I suspect that it's because in the Wiki they are links to a server inside my LAN. Can you post a copy of the offending graphic?

Thanks,

Joe
